It’s time to get Tactical, Solar Warrior!

How often had you seen “Solar” and “Marketplace” in the same sentence?

As software continues to eat the world, there is an ever-increasing bevy of sites helping educate shoppers and separating fact from fiction. One of the most common issues for homeowners is the tedious task of finding and getting quotes from solar installers. Thankfully, many of them find their way to one of the longest-standing marketplace players in the industry, EnergySage.

Today we enjoy a conversation with  Vikram Aggarwal, the CEO and Founder of EnergySage, the leading online marketplace for solar energy systems in the U.S., sometimes referred to as “the Expedia of solar".

Vikram founded EnergySage after more than fifteen years with a major global financial services leader, specializing in private equity investing and strategy consulting.

This conversation took place in the Podcast Lounge back at SPI 2019, and was led by PV Magazine contributor, Christian Roselund.

Key ideas explored:

  • What is an online solar marketplace?

  • How many companies provide within the online solar marketplace?

  • The foundations of EnergySage

  • What are the decisions solar customers make when buying?

  • Solar rental vs Solar lease
