It’s not every day you get to say you’re part of something that’s truly changing the game—but here at ShopSolar.Ai, that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Although our direct-to-consumer solar platform is new, our experience is anything but. For the past four years, the ShopSolar.Ai Team has been working behind the scenes as the engine powering tens of thousands of solar installations for companies across the country—everything from proposal generation and project management to engineering, construction, and quality control. To date, we’ve helped bring hundreds of thousands of solar systems to life across 29 states.

We’ve done it all, just not under our own name—until now.

With a leadership team shaped by some of the top 10 residential solar companies in the nation, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned, refined what works, tossed what doesn’t, and created a simpler, smarter, and more affordable way to go solar.
