March 17, 2026 — Westfair Business Journal highlights Budderfly's record-breaking year of innovation, with the company's intellectual property portfolio now standing at 34 granted patents, two allowed patents, and 34 pending patent applications.
“Innovation is built into our model,” said Budderfly CEO Al Subbloie. “Because we invest our own capital and deploy the infrastructure, we’re constantly pushing the system to perform better — lower energy use, stronger reliability, and smarter portfolio performance. Operating at scale across thousands of facilities accelerates that learning. These patents are the result of that discipline.”
“Our inventors come from across the organization, including installers, engineers, product teams, and even executives,” said Jaan Leemet, IP specialist at Budderfly. “Innovation isn’t isolated here. Through our inventor program, ideas emerging from the field or the lab are identified, refined, and protected. That’s how we turn scaled deployment into a durable competitive advantage.”
This record-breaking year highlights Budderfly’s commitment to innovation as a core component of its strategy, strengthening market differentiation, driving measurable customer impact, and reinforcing long-term value for customers, investors, and partners.
