Mouli Engineering Inc.

Mouli Engineering Inc., based in Eagan, Minnesota, is an innovative manufacturer specializing in modular solar energy systems under the brand name SolarPod. Founded by Dr. Mouli Vaidyanathan in 2009, the company pioneered a patented gable roof racking system that enables fast installation of solar panels on sloped roofs without any penetrations—eliminating leaks or structural damage commonly associated with traditional mounting methods. Their flagship product line, SolarPod, offers both ground-mounted and rooftop solutions designed for simplicity: most units can be assembled by two people within hours using standard tools—no specialized skills required. These systems are available as DIY kits through major retailers like Menards and Northern Tool + Equipment.
SolarPod’s unique approach includes plug-and-play wiring harnesses for easy expansion or scaling up output; multiple units can be interconnected to meet larger energy needs. The company also provides off-grid models with battery storage for remote applications. With over 1,000 installations completed across residential homes and commercial properties nationwide, Mouli Engineering has established itself as a leader in non-invasive renewable energy technology focused on reliability and environmental stewardship.
The founder holds advanced degrees in engineering from top institutions and brings decades of experience spanning semiconductors to power electronics—a background reflected in the technical rigor of their products.
