About Our Company

Building the Bridge Between Solar Power and Your Home

Authority Software Limited develops intelligent platforms that unify solar energy generation and household consumption, empowering Canadian homeowners to use energy more efficiently.

Our Story

From Concept to a Platform Trusted Across Canada

Authority Software Limited was founded in 2016 with a clear observation: solar panel owners were generating significant amounts of energy, yet much of it was being fed back to the grid at unfavorable rates or simply going to waste. The disconnect between when energy was produced and when it was consumed represented a massive inefficiency that no existing tool adequately addressed.

Our founding team, based in Weybridge, England, brought together expertise in energy systems engineering, embedded software development, and data analytics. The early years were spent researching inverter communication protocols, smart home device APIs, and energy consumption patterns across different climates. Canada, with its vast geographic diversity and growing solar adoption, quickly emerged as the ideal market for our technology.

By 2019, the first version of our integration platform launched for Canadian households. Since then, we have continuously refined our algorithms to account for regional sunlight variations across provinces, time-of-use tariff structures, and the expanding ecosystem of connected household appliances. Every update reflects real feedback from homeowners dealing with real energy challenges.

Our Mission

What Drives Everything We Build

Our mission is rooted in four foundational principles that guide every feature, algorithm, and interface decision in our platform.

Unify Generation and Consumption

Solar panels and household appliances have traditionally operated in isolation. Our core mission is to eliminate that gap entirely. By creating a single software layer that sees both sides of the energy equation, we enable homes to function as self-aware energy systems. The panel on your roof and the water heater in your basement become participants in the same intelligent network, communicating through our platform in real time.

Maximize Solar Utilization

Generating solar energy is only half the equation. If that energy is not consumed when it is available, its value diminishes. We build software that ensures every kilowatt-hour your panels produce finds the most productive use within your household. Through predictive scheduling and real-time load management, our platform redirects surplus generation to high-draw appliances precisely when your solar output peaks.

Develop Intelligent Algorithms

Simple timers and manual schedules cannot keep pace with the dynamic nature of solar generation. Weather changes, seasonal shifts, and evolving household routines require algorithms that learn and adapt. Our development team invests heavily in machine learning models that refine energy distribution decisions over time. The longer the system runs in your home, the better it understands your unique patterns and optimizes accordingly.

Reduce Household Energy Waste

Energy loss in residential systems happens in many subtle ways: appliances running at suboptimal times, energy exported to the grid when it could be stored or consumed locally, and devices drawing power when solar output is at its lowest. Our platform identifies these leakage points and addresses them systematically. The goal is not to change how you live, but to make your existing lifestyle more energy-efficient without noticeable disruption.

Our Expertise

Deep Knowledge in Energy Software

Our technical foundation spans several disciplines that converge at the intersection of energy and software. The team includes engineers who have worked on grid-level energy management systems, developers with backgrounds in IoT device communication, and data scientists experienced in time-series forecasting for renewable energy output.

This cross-functional expertise allows us to approach integration from every angle. We understand inverter firmware, smart plug protocols, weather API data structures, and the nuances of provincial energy regulations across Canada. Rather than outsourcing critical components, we develop our core technology in-house, ensuring tight integration between every layer of the platform.

Canadian Market

Built for Canada's Energy Landscape

Our software is specifically tailored to address the unique challenges and opportunities of solar energy in Canada.

Seasonal Adaptation

Canada experiences dramatic seasonal variations in sunlight. From 16-hour summer days in the Prairies to shorter winter days in Eastern Canada, our algorithms adjust energy distribution strategies throughout the year. The system forecasts generation potential weeks ahead using historical weather patterns specific to your postal code.

Provincial Tariff Awareness

Energy pricing varies significantly between provinces. Ontario uses time-of-use rates, while Alberta operates on a deregulated market, and Quebec benefits from low hydroelectric rates. Our platform integrates current tariff data for each province, factoring electricity costs into every scheduling decision to align solar consumption with the highest-value time windows.

Grid Interconnection

Net metering policies, feed-in tariffs, and grid export rules differ by province and utility company. Our software understands these rules and makes export-vs-consume decisions accordingly. When grid export rates are low, the platform prioritizes local consumption; when export is financially favorable, it adjusts device loads to maximize surplus available for feed-in.

Our Values

Principles That Shape Our Work

Innovation

We pursue new approaches to energy management that go beyond conventional scheduling. Our research team explores advanced forecasting models, device-level granularity in consumption tracking, and adaptive algorithms that evolve with each household they serve. Standing still in technology means falling behind, and we invest consistently in pushing our platform forward.

Efficiency

Efficiency is not just a feature of our product. It is how we operate as a company. Our codebase is lean. Our algorithms are optimized for low computational overhead, meaning the platform runs smoothly even on modest home gateways. We measure everything: response times, energy routing accuracy, and user engagement with recommendations. Data guides every improvement we make.

Sustainability

Every feature we build serves the broader goal of reducing unnecessary energy consumption. When homes use more of the solar energy they produce, less fossil-fuel-generated electricity is needed from the grid. We see our software as a practical tool in the transition to cleaner energy use, one household at a time, across every province in Canada where the sun shines on rooftops.

Client Relationships

How We Work With Canadian Homeowners

Every home is different, and every solar installation has its own characteristics. We begin each client relationship with a thorough assessment of the existing energy setup: panel specifications, inverter model, household device inventory, and typical consumption patterns throughout the day and across seasons.

From there, our onboarding team configures the platform to match your specific situation. Device priorities are set according to your preferences, generation forecasts are calibrated to your geographic location, and the system begins its learning phase. Within the first few weeks, the algorithms start delivering increasingly refined energy distribution decisions.

Ongoing support is part of our commitment. As you add new devices, update your solar array, or experience changes in energy policy from your utility, our platform adapts. Regular software updates bring new features and improved algorithms, ensuring your system stays current with the latest advancements in energy integration technology.
