PowerLight Technologies

PowerLight Technologies is an American engineering company headquartered in Kent, Washington that develops laser power beaming systems — wireless transmission of kilowatt-level electrical power over free space and over optical fiber. Founded as LaserMotive and renamed in 2017, the company builds power-over-fiber and free-space laser power links for defense unmanned aerial systems, telecom sites, temporary and disaster power, smart-grid applications, and lunar and satellite power distribution, including work under DARPA's LunA-10 program. Its products are hardware energy-transmission systems rather than software, and the company publishes no public developer program, API, or machine-readable API contract.

PowerLight Technologies is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Energy, Wireless Power, Power Beaming, and Lasers.

PowerLight Technologies’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, YouTube channel, and 8 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/powerlight-technologies: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  detail: PowerLight Technologies sells laser power-beaming hardware (power-over-fiber and free-space kilowatt laser links)
    and publishes no developer surface at all — its 22-page WordPress marketing site has no developer, API, docs or pricing
    page, no api/developer/docs subdomain resolves, every /.well-known/ and spec path 404s, and its GitHub org (PowerLightTech)
    holds only a .github repo and a fork of a third-party Sorensen power-supply driver. The only machine-readable surface
    on the domain is the default WordPress core /wp-json/ endpoint, which is the CMS's, not a PowerLight API.
