OpenSolar is the world’s first free, end-to-end solar design and sales platform. The company is headquartered in Sydney, Australia with remote offices in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. It offers the most powerful sales and design tools in the industry. It’s also integrated with IronRidge’s Design Assistant tool.
OpenSolar is the world’s first free, end-to-end solar design and sales platform
OpenSolar is a free, cloud-based solar design and sales platform that empowers solar installers. The platform has a host of features that make solar design and sales easier for both retailers and installers, including accurate roof geometry, customizable PDF proposals, and CRM to streamline business processes. The software is compatible with both residential and commercial solar applications.
OpenSolar offers a full design plus sales toolkit to help solar installers create accurate solar designs and prove ROI. Powered by Nearmap high-resolution aerial imagery, it enables solar installers to create accurate and detailed designs. The high-resolution imagery provides detail that is impossible to obtain through drone photography or satellite images. In addition, the software automatically tests all designs to ensure that they meet all NEC and industry regulations. In addition, its Energy Models incorporate the energy profile of each project to generate accurate financial data.
The platform was launched by Andrew Birch and Adam Pryor, two solar industry innovators, in 2019 and is used by thousands of solar installers in more than 100 countries on five continents. With its free and open source software, OpenSolar is proving to be an invaluable resource for the global solar installer industry. The company recently added Sungage Financial to its list of global partners, and announced a partnership with Greenlancer, a leading renewable energy company.
OpenSolar’s free design and sales platform leverages the engineering expertise of IronRidge to create an end-to-end solar design and sales solution. Using the software, solar installers can use IronRidge’s free design assistant tool to ensure that their solar systems meet strict industry requirements and meet all regulatory and building codes.

It integrates with IronRidge’s Design Assistant tool
OpenSolar integrates with IronRidge to give installers the tools they need to calculate the size of their solar installations. It also allows users to generate accurate Bill of Materials and order equipment efficiently and accurately. This allows installers to reduce costs while maximizing their cash flow. Moreover, the software also offers dynamic content that educates customers about IronRidge products.
It has a 3D design tool
OpenSolar has a 3D design tool for creating solar panels. It is free and can be used for a variety of projects. All you need to do is create a free account to access the design tool. Then you can add or delete panels and move them around to suit your needs. It also allows you to view your solar panels in 3D, which is an excellent tool for visualizing your solar system.
OpenSolar Studio 3D design tool allows Solar Pros to draw panels on high-quality 3D imagery and automatically calculate the pitch, azimuth, and shading of the panels. The design format incorporates the most up-to-date System Advisory Model (SAM) performance calculator. The tool also allows you to automatically perform shading analysis and view hourly and annual diffuse shading for each panel group. It also allows you to select specific optimisers to optimize your design.
OpenSolar recently released an improved version of its rooftop solar design tool. The company teamed up with experts at the United States National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to assess the accuracy of their tool. The NREL has been benchmarking the accuracy of solar design tools for years. It compared OpenSolar’s remote 3D design tool to assessments done by SunEye, a leading hand-held electronic shade measurement tool.
OpenSolar is a free software platform that is transforming the solar industry. The 3D design tool is one of its latest developments, and it is intended to create a more efficient solar design experience for customers. Using 3D in conjunction with digital surface maps, salespeople can virtually paint solar panels on rooftops and other surfaces without the need for in-person visits. This helps you to design a solar solution at lightning speed.
It has a sales tool
The Nearmap sales tool in OpenSolar gives solar pros the tools they need to build an accurate system design and dynamic proposal in minutes. The tool helps solar pros create a proposal that helps customers understand how solar works. The Nearmap design tool is compatible with any device and makes it easy to manage and share proposals with customers. The program also notifies solar pros whenever a proposal is opened. The tool is perfect for busy solar companies.
Solar installers can create a quote and choose the product that best fits their customers’ needs with the sales tool. The quote will include the product’s logo, spec sheet, video, and photo. These will help solar installers create a great sales experience for customers. This tool is available for free and makes it easy for solar professionals to get started selling solar energy. If you’re a solar installer and want to get ahead of your competitors, consider using the sales tool in OpenSolar.
The OpenSolar sales tool has a wealth of features. It features an interactive online proposal, full site modelling, battery simulation, and integration with finance options. It can also import leads from different systems, trigger outreach based on customer action, and sync project statuses. The sales tool can be compared to the commercially available software, but its main benefit is that it is free.
OpenSolar uses the SolarTouch design technology to give solar professionals an intuitive interface. It creates proposals in seconds and provides the customer with multiple options for financing and system configuration. Additionally, the cloud-based sales tool includes customer relationship management features for driving business efficiencies. The sales tool is compatible with residential and commercial solar installations.
It has an open source interoperability network
Open source interoperability networks are an increasingly important tool in the solar industry. These networks help solar panels communicate with one another to ensure that they work together as efficiently and effectively as possible. As the use of solar grows, more local communication will be needed to accommodate the new demand. This could lead to large power fluctuations if not handled effectively.
The authors propose a web-based monitoring system for PV power plants. The system is divided into three levels: the PV solar panel characterization module, the PV cluster gateway, and the PV park coordinator. The authors recommend adding environmental parameters to the system to further improve its performance. These technologies have a limited range, so their implementation is only feasible for small-scale solar power plants.
This system also requires a communication protocol for monitoring solar panels. It needs to ensure data security during transmission. It should also be able to monitor various parameters in real-time. For this, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM, and LoRa have all been evaluated.
