Distribution intelligence company ProEnergy Supply (PES) has officially launched its proprietary and AI-driven transactional gateway, bridging the gap between solar system design and distributor ERP systems. Working with OpenSolar, PES enables distributors to sell equipment directly within the new OpenSolar “Shop” platform.
“Live” inventory can be viewed and now purchased by over 28,000 active solar professionals at the exact moment they are designing solar systems or reviewing automatically calculated bill of materials on a sold system.
“We’re not asking distributors to change how they operate,” said Brian C. Boguess, CRO and cofounder of ProEnergy Supply. “Instead, we are giving them a digital storefront (transactional marketing) inside the tools their customers are already using every day. We did not build PES to add more work to your plate. We built it to reduce your fixed costs tied to the sale and to lower your customer acquisition costs.”
“I helped build some of the largest solar distributors in the industry, and I saw firsthand how much revenue is lost because distributors aren’t present when the solar professional is making a buying decision,” said Christian Siebens, CEO and cofounder of ProEnergy Supply. “PES puts you in front of the solar professional during system design, not days after the fact. To me, that is the biggest difference between winning the sale and hoping for a call back.”
PES is currently onboarding solar and electrical distributors in key states with national rollout to follow. Distributors utilizing Epicor P21, Eclipse, SAP, Infor or other ERP systems are encouraged to apply immediately for territorial priority. PES-partnered distributors will start to go live in the OpenSolar Shop in March 2026. Those interested in a demo can sign up online.
“The PES and OpenSolar tech-stack strategic partnership gives distributors a huge boost to their bottom line,” said Andy Rose, Global Head of Commercial for OpenSolar. “With 28,000 solar professionals designing in our latest release with the PRO Shop functionality, PES delivers credit-guaranteed sales orders directly into a distributor’s ERP sales queue without the associated traditional fixed costs.”
