Our Story
OpenSolar exists to accelerate the adoption of solar and renewable energy globally. Read about our story, our values and the incredible team that makes it all possible.
In 2019, solar industry veterans Adam Pryor and Andrew Birch set out to tackle one of the greatest challenges of our time – scaling solar energy adoption to meet global climate goals.

With over 25 years of combined experience, they knew that empowering solar installers was key to accelerating the transition to clean energy. So, they created OpenSolar—the world’s first free, end-to-end platform designed to help solar professionals grow their businesses and streamline their operations.
OpenSolar’s mission is simple: to make the best solar design and project management tools accessible to every installer, anywhere, without the burden of expensive software licenses. By offering our platform for free, we enable installers to reinvest their resources into their businesses, driving efficiencies that will power the future of solar.
As we move toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, OpenSolar is here to support the professionals at the forefront of this change. Together, we’re building a world where solar is the go-to energy choice for all.
Our values

Our team is here to accelerate the transition to a world powered by sunshine.
We harness our passion and commitment to digitize and scale this important planet-saving solution – but time is tight, and there’s no time to lose.

We seek to deeply understand our users so we can make products that improve their lives.
It’s their perspective that matters most, so we meticulously research their lived experience, listen hard and always learn.

We are open to give and receive feedback, open to new ways of seeing things and other perspectives.
We are always open to learning from others and exploring alternative, better ways of achieving the mission.

Simple is always better. Simplicity helps our users deliver the mission.
We make things as simple as possible, but no simpler.

Excellence is not about being perfect, it’s about always seeking excellence in everything we do, and having the humility to learn new ways to improve.
