< Back to all news articles EagleView and OpenSolar partner to help US solar professionals cut soft costs and install timelines SAN FRANCISCO – Mar 7 2023--OpenSolar Pty Ltd, a software company focused on empowering solar installers with the world’s most accurate and entirely free solar design and sales platform, and EagleView, a leading provider of aerial imaging and property data, have partnered to enable solar professionals to streamline and enhance their designs, proposals, and site assessments with highly accurate aerial imaging, digital property measurements, and solar data. Available now in public beta, OpenSolar’s leading solar design and proposal software integrates EagleView data, enabling installers to create precise solar designs and digital site assessments – before even setting foot on-site. Installers can order and import EagleView data directly into the OpenSolar platform, adding an additional layer of site assessment accuracy and expected solar performance validation. The solution will enable installers to get to installation weeks faster with detailed site data on-hand, allowing for more efficient on-site visits, and often eliminating costly truck rolls to validate designs. In addition, the integration will provide permit-ready CAD files to streamline plan set development. Installers can use EagleView data as part of an initial proposal as well as with final design plans. “EagleView represents a strong, premium addition to our industry-leading solar design and sales platform” said Andrew Birch, Co-Founder and CEO at OpenSolar. “EagleView’s property, roofing, and solar data is a preferred option for many US installers who value added precision on site diligence so it’s terrific to make this high-quality option available on OpenSolar.” “This latest EagleView innovation automatically populates EagleView’s leading data sets into OpenSolar’s extremely popular and flexible solar design platform” said Peter Cleveland, Vice President, Solar Business. “A well-planned sales and design approach eliminates truck rolls and provides for highly efficient site visits when necessary, saving valuable time and expense, and gets projects installed faster.” Solar professionals interested in participating in the public beta program can go to www.opensolar.com/eagleview to activate the EagleView integration on their accounts.

The LG U.S. launch dovetails with OpenSolar’s introduction of a suite of robust new design features specifically for the U.S. market – all completely free to installers – making design and installation simple and cost effective. Additional features such as full three-dimensional design and automated shading capabilities will roll out this quarter. According to Marshall Manley from Synergy Power based in Alpine, Utah, the OpenSolar software has already made a significant impact on business. “OpenSolar has become a tremendous resource and tool for us as an LG dealer,” he said. “Not only is it better software than what we were paying $2,000 per month for, but the customer service has been amazing; plus this is all available to us at no cost.” About LG LG’s award-winning portfolio of high-efficiency solar panels and energy storage solutions are widely recognized in the industry for high performance, quality and flexibility.
