In the modern digital world, investing in solar panels for your home is becoming increasingly accessible with the roll-out of cutting-edge software. One such development is an online platform by a U.S.-based solar company called Monalee, paving the way for streamlined purchases of solar arrays for homes, an excellent news for both aspiring and experienced solar enthusiasts.
This revolutionary software developed by Monalee is effectively adjusting the lay of the land for solar companies. With just a few mouse clicks, homeowners desiring to tap into eco-friendly solar energy can easily navigate their way from getting quotes to financing the purchase, from overseeing the installation to securing after-sales support.
The software responds dynamically upon entering essential information including the homeowner’s address, the choice of PV or battery, or both, and the details of the current electricity bill. This platform even provides a savings calculator, as well as a subsidy or credit calculator, making it an all-around tool for individuals keen on investing in a residential solar array. The convenience doesn’t stop with the initial purchase, it extends by providing after-sales support via an easy-to-use application.
Monalee strategically addresses one of the biggest challenges in purchasing solar: the need for site visits to tailor the project. By harnessing geographical information system (GIS) data, along with Google Maps imagery through their Solar API, the software effectively mitigates the requirement for site visits. They further enhance the precision of this feature by incorporating data gathered from LIDAR and drone imagery for a more comprehensive geographical coverage.
This promising software, built by Monalee, clearly sets a high bar for other solar companies to follow. It has served approximately 1,900 homeowners and counting since its inception in 2022, solidifying its role in transforming the solar sector.
The ability to offer lower prices has allowed companies like Monalee to tap into areas of the U.S. that traditionally have not been big solar markets – states like Georgia, Alabama, and Kentucky. The more expected high-demand areas remain, including Florida and California. With their ability to navigate the solar market landscape across states, the trajectory for software like this looks promising.
Monalee has managed to raise a significant figure of $10 million in venture capital, with the most recent funding closed in March 2024. With ambitious plans to expand across an additional 11 states this year, the future is bright for this solar company.
To sum it up, the advent of such online platforms has not only made the process of investing in solar panels for your home easier but also significantly less time-consuming and more economical. The digital age is indeed revolutionizing the solar industry, one innovation at a time.
