Company Overview
EnergySage is an online platform that lets consumers compare quotes for solar installations. The company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. EnergySage launched its solar comparison-shopping tool in February 2013. The tool allows consumers to compare costs and gives them the option to buy or lease a solar energy system. Installers communicate to users exclusively through EnergySage's internal messaging system. Installers are not allowed to submit bids through their own solar modeling software to maintain user privacy. EnergySage evaluates the quality of both the installer and the installer's technology. The tool matches buyers with suppliers in part by factoring weather data, rebates, tax credits, market prices, and the ability of its users' locales to sustain the installers' estimates. EnergySage incorporates aerial views of user homes to determine solar potential and costs for installing a system.
