\u200bSAN FRANCISCO & SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–OpenSolar, \u00a0Inc., a global solar SaaS company keenly focused on empowering solar \u00a0installers with the world\u2019s most accurate and entirely free solar design \u00a0and sales platform, and IronRidge, maker of the world\u2019s strongest and \u00a0most reliable solar racking and mounting systems, today announced the \u00a0integration of IronRidge\u2019s products on opensolar.com. The partnership \u00a0connects two industry leaders \u2013 one focused on innovative hardware, the \u00a0other on breakthrough software \u2013 with a common mission to scale solar \u00a0uptake by providing installers with the best systems and tools available \u00a0to streamline the complex solar design, sales, and installation \u00a0process.<\/p>\n

\u200bThrough OpenSolar\u2019s platform, \u00a0installers can now automatically calculate the exact IronRidge racking \u00a0and mounting components for each design, seamlessly build an accurate \u00a0Bill of Material (BoM) and ensure the most efficient ordering and \u00a0inventory of equipment, thereby improving installer cashflow. To \u00a0increase sales conversion, installers also will have the capability to \u00a0provide customers with dynamic content that educates customers on the \u00a0market-leading strength and reliability of IronRidge products.<\/p>\n

\u200b\u201cOpenSolar is committed to \u00a0simplifying and streamlining the entire solar sales process, not only \u00a0with the world\u2019s most accurate and efficient design software but with an \u00a0entirely free end-to-end sales platform that incorporates all the \u00a0essential components of a compelling solar proposal, including \u00a0customized permitting solutions, the most competitive financing options, \u00a0and an array of the very best hardware products in the market,\u201d said \u00a0Andrew Birch, Co-Founder of OpenSolar. \u201cIronRidge\u2019s mounting and racking \u00a0products continue to set the standard for their remarkable durability \u00a0and reliability, and we are proud to integrate them onto our \u00a0cutting-edge platform.\u201d Birch added, \u201cI pose the question to solar \u00a0installers everywhere, \u2018when the world\u2019s most accurate, efficient, and \u00a0robust solar design and sales platform is entirely free, why would you \u00a0pay to use a platform that provides anything less?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200bRich Tiu, IronRidge CEO, said, \u00a0\u201cIronRidge and OpenSolar share a commitment to streamlining business \u00a0operations for solar installers. Just as we aid the design and ordering \u00a0of product through our digital platform – Design Assistant – OpenSolar \u00a0is thriving in the space around sales enablement and customer outreach. \u00a0Installers who take advantage of the new data integration between our \u00a0platforms can save time and close more business in the residential \u00a0space.\u201d<\/p>\n
