EnergySage
EnergySage is an American Boston-based company that operates an online comparison marketplace for clean energy products such as solar, energy storage, and heat pumps. The company's website provides information about clean energy options and shows online quotes from local solar, heat pump, and battery installers for consumer comparison shopping. The company also issues reports and survey results on the state of the clean energy industry regarding pricing, consumer preferences, and trends.
EnergySage has received grants from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) SunShot Initiative and additional funding from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), as well as venture capital groups. In 2022, EnergySage was acquired by Schneider Electric and continues to operate independently.
EnergySage was founded in 2009 by Vikram Aggarwal. Aggarwal's early goal for the company was to create "a website that would tell consumers the right questions to ask about solar energy." In June 2012, EnergySage was awarded $500,000 from the DOE through the Solar Energy Technologies Office's Incubator program, an early-stage assistance program for startup cleantech companies.
The DOE later awarded EnergySage an additional $1.25 million in October 2013 via the department's SunShot initiative to develop its solar marketplace, and $1.6 million in July 2017. EnergySage announced a $1.5 million Series-A funding round in May 2015 led by Launchpad Venture Group, MassCEC, and other venture capital groups. Later in 2015, the Solar Energy Industries Association selected EnergySage to "make the organization's own solar shopping tool[,] [t]he SEIA EnergySage marketplace."
In 2019, EnergySage introduced a buyer's guide for an independent ratings system for solar panels, batteries, and inverters. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory assisted EnergySage in the early development of the system.
In 2020, conglomerate Schneider Electric invested in EnergySage during the COVID-19 pandemic, and by 2021 the company's separate marketplace for community solar included nine states. In February 2022, Schneider Electric announced that it had acquired EnergySage for an undisclosed amount, with EnergySage continuing to operate independently.
In July 2025, EnergySage persued an official partnership with the progressive political movement called "Third Act Movement".
Homeowners and businesses use EnergySage's solar marketplace to request and compare solar or solar plus storage quotes from the company's network of local installers. Quotes are standardized with data points such as cost, financing options, equipment quality, etc. The marketplace takes advantage of Google satellite imagery to estimate a property's solar capabilities and covers 41 states and Washington, D.C. Installers are required to compete for business and display their quotes side-by-side and customers can review their options with a company advisor. EnergySage also offers a calculator for property-specific estimates of the costs and advantages of installing solar based on live quotes.
