Systems And Methods For Generating An Online Solar Energy Marketplace

Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for providing an online solar marketplace. In an embodiment, a geolocation may be received corresponding to a property. Available equipment, installation, and financing offerings may be retrieved from a marketplace repository. The marketplace repository may store a plurality of service and equipment offerings from one or more equipment providers, installation providers, or financing providers. An integrated solar energy offering may be generated based on the retrieved equipment, installation or financing offerings, and a solar energy simulation may be performed for the solar energy offering to estimate energy production over a predetermined time period. The solar energy offering and energy production estimates may then be presented to a user of the solar marketplace.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A system for providing an online solar marketplace, comprising: one or more computing devices; a marketplace repository storing a plurality of service and equipment offerings from one or more equipment providers, installation providers, or financing providers; a query module, implemented on the one or more computing devices, configured to: receive a geolocation corresponding to a property, and retrieve available equipment, installation, or financing offerings from the marketplace repository; a pricing module, implemented on the one or more computing devices, configured to generate an integrated solar energy offering for the property based on the retrieved equipment, installation, or financing offerings; a simulation module, implemented on the one or more computing devices, configured to perform a solar energy simulation for the solar energy offering to estimate energy production over a predetermined time period; and an interface module, implemented on the one or more computing devices, configured to present the solar energy offering and energy production estimates for output over a network to a remote user.

  • 11. A method for providing an online solar marketplace, comprising: receiving a geolocation corresponding to a property; retrieving available equipment, installation, and financing offerings from a marketplace repository, the marketplace repository storing a plurality of service and equipment offerings from one or more equipment providers, installation providers, or financing providers; generating an integrated solar energy offering for the property based on the retrieved equipment, installation, or financing offerings; performing a solar energy simulation for the solar energy offering to estimate energy production over a predetermined time period; and presenting the solar energy offering and energy production estimates to a user.

  • 19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising: receiving a geolocation corresponding to a property; retrieving available equipment, installation, and financing offerings from a marketplace repository, the marketplace repository storing a plurality of service or equipment offerings from one or more equipment providers, installation providers, or financing providers; generating an integrated solar energy offering for the property based on the retrieved equipment, installation, and financing offerings; performing a solar energy simulation for the solar energy offering to estimate energy production over a predetermined time period; and presenting the solar energy offering and energy production estimates to a user.
