Why is OpenSolar Free?

At OpenSolar, we’re committed to a world powered by sunshine. To accelerate solar adoption and fight climate change, we’ve made our software free for solar professionals, removing barriers to help you deliver smart, efficient solutions.

How solar installers switching to OpenSolar can use these annual savings:

7 years

Lease a Ford Transit Van for seven years

12 months

Employ an installer crew member for twelve months

2,160 square feet

Rent 2,160 sq. ft. of office or warehouse space for a year

A medium-sized installer sending 100 proposals/month can save an estimated average of $60,000 a year by switching to OpenSolar.

Is OpenSolar really free?!

by Maaike Gobel, Head of APAC

“We pride ourselves as a free of charge platform that will always be free for you to use. Our theory is that the solar installer shouldn’t have to pay for premium quality solar software, and instead that there are a number of terrific organisations whose interests are served if they fund the OpenSolar platform.

OpenSolar works with partners who all pay us to be a part of the platform, making OpenSolar free for solar professionals. Our partners include product manufacturers, finance companies, distributors, solar permitting companies, education providers, and many more – all of whom provide services to Solar Pros. That’s how OpenSolar remains completely free of charge.”

OpenSolar is free-of-charge thanks to our partners
