Adama Toure is a renewable energy engineer, architect, technologist, entrepreneur, educator, and philosopher of mathematics and physics. His life has been shaped by the lived realities of energy scarcity and human resilience. Growing up in Conakry, Guinea—where power outages and water insecurity were daily challenges—he learned early that reliable energy is not a luxury, but a foundation for dignity, safety, and opportunity. From a young age, he fell in love with describing the forces of nature through mathematics and physics, which became his most natural language for understanding the world.
After moving to the United States, Adama pursued formal training in mathematics, physics, and renewable energy engineering. He cultivated a rare ability to move fluidly across disciplines—including engineering, programming, architecture, machine learning, and entrepreneurship. He is the founder of Solar Sense, a module-level power electronics (MLPE) device designed to comply with the latest NEC Rapid Shutdown requirements while enabling precise, panel-level fault detection and performance monitoring.
Beyond startups and engineering, Adama is a philosopher, educator, and community builder. He is deeply committed to empowering others by improving access to energy and water security, advancing climate resilience initiatives, and sharing knowledge in practical, human-centered ways. Across all his work runs a consistent guiding principle: we get what we give, and therefore should give only what we wish to get. He believes science and technology are most powerful when used not only to innovate, but to meaningfully improve living conditions and expand human potential.
His research interests:
Solar thermal energy for co-generation of electricity and fresh water
PV dynamic modeling
Machine learning applications in energy systems
