Our team is headed to Intersolar North America for the 5th year in a row. In honor of celebrating 5 years, we thought we would share the back story of Energy Toolbase’s official debut at the convention in 2014 with just 2 employees and a supportive father. This convention has historically been a great opportunity for our team to connect with our users and potential customers and back in 2014, it proved that Energy Toolbase had a bright future in the renewable industry.

The booth traffic and free trial signups were undeniably great, and since the platform’s debut, Intersolar is a show that our team looks forward to each year. Our founder/CEO John Gurski began coding for the platform in 2012 after spending several years as a solar contractor in California. Just two short years later he decided to take the product to Intersolar for its official debut. There weren’t any employees yet since the product hadn’t officially launched, but he convinced his then

The booth traffic and free trial signups were undeniably great, and since the platform’s debut, Intersolar is a show that our team looks forward to each year.

Energy Toolbase Updates
Energy Toolbase will be launching two big product updates in the near future, including an energy storage simulation engine update, which includes new features and functionality for modeling both residential and commercial storage projects. We are also planning an international product launch in 2018, which will enable users anywhere in the world to model and optimize the economics of behind-the-meter solar + storage projects. Energy Toolbase is exhibiting at booth #8539, on the 2nd floor of Moscone Center West.
