Omnidian focuses on the maintenance and performance assurance of solar energy systems for homeowners and businesses, including large-scale residential portfolio owners. Their primary service is a 24/7 remote monitoring system that tracks solar system performance and coordinates repairs when necessary, ensuring minimal downtime. Clients pay for subscription-based protection plans, and a standout feature is their 95% Energy Guarantee, which compensates clients if their solar system generates less than 95% of the expected energy.
