Cloud-based software
In the solar industry, which saw record growth of 87% between 2022 and 2023, the expansion of green energy is becoming increasingly urgent to meet climate targets. Glint Solar provides cloud-based software that revolutionizes solar site analysis and project development by drastically reducing time and costs for solar developers. The platform combines GIS data with 3D visualizations to evaluate project sites more efficiently, enabling up to ten times faster site evaluation.
The urgency to use renewable energies faster is enormous. With our platform, we are reducing the hurdles in project development and accelerating implementation. This investment allows us to go even further and shape the future of solar development.
Harald Olderheim, Glint Solar
Glint Solar has been on a rapid growth trajectory since its seed round in 2022, with its customer base tripling in the last 12 months. The platform is used by leading companies worldwide, including Recurrent Energy, ILOS and Chint Solar. The latest investment will enable expansion into markets such as Asia and North America and drive the launch of a new battery energy storage system site evaluation function (BESS).
