Cloudastructure has deployed new solar-powered, off-grid AI security enclosures in multiple states. The company is targeting the renewable energy and industrial sectors to expand its critical infrastructure protection business.
- The initial deployments of these off-grid units are at critical infrastructure sites in Maryland, Ohio, and Illinois, securing large-scale commercial solar fields and industrial facilities for Fortune 500 companies. - Each security unit features a 12-foot solar mast with dual panels, integrated battery storage, dome cameras, and real-time audio deterrence, all connected to Cloudastructure's AI-powered cloud platform. - The company's AI surveillance platform boasts a 98% crime deterrence rate and is offered to clients on a contract-free, month-to-month subscription basis. - This solar-powered product joins the company's existing offerings, which include a "Mobile Surveillance Trailer Alpha™" and security solutions with integrated autonomous drones. - The company is led by CEO James McCormick, who took over in July 2024 from founder Rick Bentley. - Cloudastructure reported a 274% increase in signed contracts during the first half of 2025 and approximately 270% revenue growth for the full year. - Beyond critical infrastructure, the company has a strong presence in the real estate sector, counting six of the top ten U.S. property management firms as customers. - The broader market for AI in physical security is projected to grow significantly, with one market research firm expecting global spending in the sector to reach $71 billion by 2027.
