MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and
BOSTON, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- EnergySage is proud
to announce its collaboration with Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), the
global technology platform that makes TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mint
and Credit Karma, as a founding partner on the Intuit Climate
Action Marketplace. The platform offers climate-friendly solutions
for small businesses and is a driving force behind Intuit's
commitment to help one million U.S. small businesses cut their
carbon emissions 50 percent by 2030, and aligning small businesses
to the United Nations Race to Zero pledge. Intuit is announcing
this commitment today at the COP26
summit in Glasgow.
Intuit is launching the Intuit Climate Action Marketplace to
empower small and medium sized businesses to reduce their impact on
the environment by selecting more sustainable solutions, such as
solar power. EnergySage is one of 12 founding partners selected by
Intuit to help small businesses take immediate, climate-positive
actions across a number of categories. EnergySage will serve as a
go-to resource for researching and comparison-shopping all things
solar energy.
"Solar isn't just for big, Fortune 500 companies – it's for
businesses and non-profits of all sizes and industries," said
Vikram Aggarwal, CEO and founder of
EnergySage. "Teaming up with Intuit allows us to educate businesses
and entrepreneurs across the country about the tremendous financial
and environmental benefits of solar energy, while providing tools
and resources for taking action. As a company whose mission is to
empower people to make smarter energy decisions through simplicity,
transparency, and choice, we're ecstatic to join Intuit in its
commitment to curb climate change."
Using the Intuit Climate Action Marketplace to explore solar
options is quite simple. Users can visit
intuit.com/climatemarketplace and select EnergySage from the list
of products and services. From here, EnergySage will guide users
through the process of getting and comparing custom quotes from its
network of pre-screened solar companies for installing rooftop
solar panels, or help them find and subscribe to a local community
solar farm. EnergySage also assigns dedicated, unbiased Energy
Advisors to help them make an informed decision.
In addition to significantly reducing a business's carbon
footprint and making a business more resilient to the changing
climate, both rooftop and community solar are incredibly smart
financial investments. Solar helps businesses greatly reduce their
electric bill, hedge against rising and volatile energy prices, and
attract an increasingly eco-conscious consumer base. Further,
switching to solar helps create high-quality local renewable energy
jobs.
"Thanks to the leadership and innovation of Intuit, businesses
will now have the support and resources needed for them to explore
more sustainable choices that lead to a healthier planet for all
and savings for the customer," said Tess
O'Brien, VP of Partnership at EnergySage. "We're thrilled to
be a part of such an important program and look forward to seeing
more organizations enable climate action."
With the launch of this marketplace, Intuit is committing to
helping small businesses align to the United Nations Race to Zero
pledge, a global campaign to rally leadership and support to commit
to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 at the latest. The
solutions provided by EnergySage and the other founding partners
are designed to help small businesses find more sustainable choices
to replace high carbon emission activities with no extra hassle,
time or cost.
"We believe collective climate action by small businesses will
have a substantial impact in solving the climate crisis," said
Sean Kinghorn, Head of Global
Sustainability at Intuit. "We're excited to team up with EnergySage
and our other solution providers to launch the Intuit Climate
Action Marketplace, and provide immediate opportunities for small
businesses to take action to cut their carbon emissions."
The Intuit Climate Action Marketplace is now available to all
small businesses and entrepreneurs in the U.S. and U.K., with plans
for expansion to additional global markets in 2022. Those in the
U.S. who install solar panels on their property through EnergySage
will get $100 to $10,000 cash back. The amount of cash-back a
customer receives is based on the size of the system they've
purchased. For example, they will receive $100 or $10,000 for
installing a 5 kW or a 1,000 kW solar PV system, respectively. All
community solar subscribers get $100
when they sign up via EnergySage.
