About This Episode

On this episode of the Soliverse Podcast, Peter sits down with Daniel Domingues, Founder & CEO of Planno.io, the Geospatial AI platform that’s fixing one of distributed solar’s biggest bottlenecks: finding the right commercial and industrial rooftops.

After years developing rooftop solar projects across the Middle East and Europe, Daniel saw firsthand how slow, manual, and incomplete the prospecting process really was.

So he built Planno — combining satellite imagery, AI rooftop detection, business intelligence, and market insights into one platform that turns months of hunting into minutes of clarity.

They discuss:

🏢 Why 90% of viable C&I rooftops are still being missed

🛰️ How AI + geospatial data can map entire regions overnight

🌍 Europe’s data-rich but fragmented rooftop landscape

🏭 Why the Middle East is an untapped goldmine for C&I solar

🎢 The “solar coaster” dynamics of the U.S. market

🔍 How property + business intelligence transforms pipeline quality

⚙️ Why better prospecting leads to better engineering & better returns

🧠 What solar prospecting will look like by 2030

If you work in BD, EPC, development, or distributed solar strategy — this episode will change the way you think about rooftop pipeline building.
