Management
Francois Byrne
FOUNDER & PROJECT DIRECTOR
While designing and racing hybrid race cars during university, Francois quickly realized the potential of the battery outside of its mainstream markets. After completing his engineering degree, gaining some real-world experience then completing an MBA, he put it all on the line to pursue entrepreneurship. He founded Hybrid Power Solutions with the goal of revolutionizing work sites with fuel free solutions and integrating battery systems in high potential, untapped markets. Francois pride’s himself on growing a sustainable business with an ethical business practice. Innovation is at the forefront of his team’s values and has helped them develop products and solutions for top tier customers. HPS’ line of fuel free power packs intended to replace gas and diesel generators allow for a plug and play solution to providing power in everything from mining to weddings. As the solar market grew, Francois shifted HPS’ technology to serve the stationary residential market with a simple to install and use solar system that is highly expandable. His mission is to build a company that inspires innovation, creativity and delivers no compromise energy storage solutions.
