IoT-Powered Green, Cost-Effective Water Heating Management Solution
Sowillo offers cost-effective water heating management solutions driven by IoT devices, AI, and heat recuperation technology. The company’s systems are environmentally friendly, primarily utilize solar energy, and meet stringent government pollution-free heating requirements.
By implementing Sowillo, businesses can reduce water heating expenses by up to 40%. Additionally, the system provides proactive alerts for potential failures, enabling efficient mitigation scenarios and reduced maintenance costs.

The spray paint revolution
Painting the future with renewable energy
A revolutionary concept for practical, cost-effective renewable energy, SolOr’s nano-paint technology turns common surfaces into independent solar energy harvesting systems. After being sprayed with SolOr’s nano-paint, everyday surface areas such as buildings, cars, parking lots, and even food carts can harness the same amount of solar energy as costly, bulky, solar panels.
With Road2’s help, from concept to development, SolOr received access to a beta site, resources, funding, strategic help, and guidance from the advisory board members of a leading Israeli paint and construction product company.
