The EnergyScore

Millions of Americans can’t go solar because their credit is insufficient. To overcome this, we developed the EnergyScore – a more inclusive and more accurate predictor of utility bill payment performance, that’ll expand access to solar for millions of Americans.

Accuracy rate in predicting bill payment behavior.

More inclusive than the FICO score for low and moderate income households.
