A vision.
Two broken workflows.
Three doers.

2022

Breaking ground

Solesca was founded by a group of college dropouts. The co-founders have a grand vision of making solar design accessible to all using the power of collaboration and intuitive flow.

Secure funding

Backed by Hustle Fund, Pareto, and Z-Fellows.

2023

Solesca 1.0 is built

Solesca 1.0 is launched at RE+ NE. It was a great start, but it still needed some love. Potential clients offered amazing feedback about ways to take Solesca to the next level.

Receive grant from the DOE

Solesca is a finalist in the Department of Energy's American-Made Solar Prize and received significant non-dilutive funding.

Go live with customers

Officially launched at RE+ 23 in Las Vegas. Those who saw our vision started to buy into what we built.

Achieve profitability

Bootstrapping paid off and we will be sticking around for a while.

Reputation for its highest product and service quality

Customers love the regular monthly releases and the concierge service. Clients are renewing contracts with additional seats.
