Sun Number, LLC focuses on increasing public awareness of the solar potential of buildings through its Sun Number Scores. Founded in 2012, the company received the U.S. Department of Energy's SunShot Incubator grant, which facilitated the development and initial deployment of its scoring system. Sun Number Scores provide an easy-to-understand assessment of a building's solar potential, helping to streamline the customer acquisition process for solar installers. The company serves homeowners, home buyers, real estate agents, and solar installers by offering a free automated assessment that evaluates how suitable a roof is for solar energy. This assessment considers factors such as regional climate, daily sun exposure, and foliage coverage from nearby trees. The 0-100 score and accompanying details help users understand the benefits of solar power, including reduced utility bills and decreased reliance on fossil fuels. Sun Number operates in the renewable energy market and generates revenue through partnerships and licensing agreements with real estate platforms and solar installation companies.
