A world powered by sunshine
OpenSolar is the world’s first free, end-to-end, solar design and sales application, providing solar professionals with a highly sophisticated, yet easy to use software tool that services their end-to-end needs, from marketing and lead management to solar system design, sales, installation, and service.
We have users from 120+ countries using our platform.
Our Co-founders Adam Pryor and Andrew Birch are credited with launching the first online solar proposal worldwide 12 years ago, helping create the innovative US solar company Sungevity, which focused on delivering an amazing customer experience through a digital journey (see the Harvard Business Review article (www.hbr.org/2015/11/competing-on-customer-journeys)).
Since pioneering solar software design over a decade ago, we’ve learned a lot using software to sell and design tens of thousands of solar systems in multiple regions around the world. We want to share our experience and lessons learned to make the industry successful.
We’ve just launched the OpenSolar App, the simplest, fastest and most powerful tool for solar professionals ever. And we’re making it available online to all solar professionals across the globe, totally free.
We’re doing this because we want to accelerate the transition to solar energy globally, and achieve a 100% solar powered economy in a timeframe that can avoid the most destructive elements of climate change – and reduce the extant risk of runaway, out-of-control climate change which will destroy billions of years of life’s work in the ecosystem around us, and make life worse for generations of humans to come. We’ve been inspired to act by the increasing global movement to create change, and by the powerful voices of the world’s younger generation (and our own kids!)
The solutions are everywhere – and low-cost and abundant solar technology (complemented by its sister technology, storage) is our greatest hope. It is already winning but we need to remove every single barrier for it to happen in a timeframe that solves for climate change. One of the biggest barriers we’ve seen in our industry’s ability to scale profitably due to a lack of efficient tools and processes – even with the amazing customer economics available today in most of the world’s electricity markets. Another major barrier is the simple fact that many end customers don’t know that solar is the lowest cost energy solution in the majority of cases around the world or don’t understand it. We hope our free white-label app, constantly improving and in the hands of the thousands of amazing solar professionals educating and serving millions of customers, can get us there in time!
We’ve piloted our software all over the world with leading installers and leveraged advice and input from industry leaders like Nigel Morris and Danny Kennedy, solar experts and OpenSolar advisors, and we’re excited to now launch to the world’s solar community.
And this means we can provide the app for free to you, the retailers and installers – to help accelerate the success of solar professionals serving end-customers all over the world - that’s our mission.
