Torch Systems

Torch Systems is an Outdoor Asset Intelligence company. We give utilities, renewable energy operators, municipalities, and industrial operators continuous, AI-powered visibility across the distributed outdoor assets that keep their operations running. Most outdoor infrastructure is still a blind spot. Operators rely on manual inspections, truck rolls, periodic flyovers, and disconnected point solutions, and problems are often found only after someone sees them. Torch is built around preventative intelligence. The Torch Intelligence Platform learns what normal looks like for each site and asset, then flags meaningful deviations before they turn into fires, equipment failures, or downtime. Our TerraNode™ is a self-contained, solar-powered device that combines optical and thermal cameras with acoustic, gas, air quality and environmental sensing, plus on-device edge AI. It needs no external power or network infrastructure and installs in minutes, so it works in remote solar farms, transmission corridors, and other sites that have been too difficult or expensive to monitor. One deployment supports multiple use cases: - Fire detection and prevention - Preventative overheating detection - Equipment and site fault detection - Vegetation and site conditions - Environmental and air quality intelligence - Security and access The device sees. The platform understands. Hundreds of TerraNodes are deployed today across six states. Torch is headquartered in Lafayette, California, and backed by Khosla Ventures, Abstract, Construct Capital, and Starship Ventures.
