Urjanet launches Utility Data for Solar

Urjanet announced on Apr. 30 the launch of Utility Data for Solar, a data-as-a-service solution that provides on-demand access to commercial and residential energy usage, cost, and location data from more than 750 electric utilities in more than 15 countries.

A statement from Urjanet noted, "While solar has displayed steady growth over the past decade - SEIA estimates an annual industry growth rate of 59 percent - recent developments threaten to slow its expansion,"  The current administration’s 30 percent tariff on imported solar panels is expected to drive higher prices and slow adoption of solar installations. Additionally, the industry has faced high and growing customer acquisition costs over the past few years.

To overcome these potential challenges, Urjanet Utility Data for Solar provides sales insight for solar installers, brokers, marketplaces, financiers, and software providers to help get adoption back on track. The new solution will enable solar providers to accelerate sales cycles, streamline and enhance the customer buying experience, and build tailored and accurate proposals.

"At our very core, supporting a clean energy economy with innovative solutions has always been Urjanet’s goal," said Sanjoy Malik, CEO at Urjanet. “With Utility Data for Solar, we’re excited to advance renewable energy agendas across residential and commercial sectors by providing tools to streamline opportunity assessment and sales processes.”
