Welcome to The OpenSolar Podcast your sun-powered source of inspiration, innovation, and impact.
Hosted by OpenSolar’s very own CEO Birchy, Melissa, and Sophie, we spotlight the people, ideas, and movements electrifying the transition to a world powered entirely by sunshine.
Over the past decade, solar technology has become more efficient, batteries have become more popular and the economics of clean energy have never looked stronger. Yet for many homeowners, one challenge still stands in the way: the upfront investment.
In the Season 2 finale of The OpenSolar Podcast, Birchy is joined by Dave Hindle, CEO and Co-founder of Propensio, to explore why Integrated Finance is becoming an essential part of the customer journey.
Together, they discuss how giving customers more payment options can remove friction, improve affordability and help more people confidently invest in solar.
The conversation also explores how OpenSolar's Finance Marketplace is making it easier for installers to offer finance, why accessibility matters just as much as technology, and what the future of green finance could mean for the solar industry.
