Reonic

Installing a solar system does not start with a panel — it starts with a quote. And quotes in the renewable energy sector are still often a manual process: site visit, measurement, expected yield calculation, system sizing, cost estimation, documentation for incentives. An installer who produces ten quotes a week spends a significant portion of their time on activities that could be automated. Reonic, a Berlin startup, built the software to do that. The platform is designed for installers of renewable solutions and covers the entire operational workflow: quoting, planning, and delivery of solar systems, storage, heat pumps, and electric vehicle charging stations. Installers can generate yield simulations, produce detailed quotes, manage project documentation, and track work progress from a single interface. The business model is B2B SaaS: installers, engineers, and design firms pay a monthly subscription to access Reonic's tools. Pay-per-use plans are available for individual projects, and enterprise licenses include advanced reporting, technical support, and consulting. Integrations with CAD platforms and regional incentive management systems add value for installers operating in complex regulatory contexts. The market is driven by the rapid growth of renewable installations across Europe: governments have set ambitious decarbonization targets, incentives for solar and heat pumps were expanded following the 2022 energy crisis, and the number of installers needing professional tools to manage growing volumes is expanding quickly. Reonic positions itself as the reference operational software for this market. The product's vertical specificity is its competitive strength: this is not a generic project management tool adapted for solar, but a platform built around the specific needs of renewable energy installers, with the sector's regulatory and technical complexities already embedded.
