Enact Solar and Blu Banyan Announce Strategic Partnership
Date: January 2, 2024

Enact Solar and Blu Banyan have officially joined forces to create an integrated solar solution designed to automate business processes and enhance operational efficiency for solar installers.

**PLEASANTON, CA, UNITED STATES** – Enact Solar, the creator of an award-winning intelligent software platform that transforms the planning and implementation of solar and energy storage projects, has partnered with Blu Banyan, a leading solar ERP solution provider and recognized software developer. This strategic collaboration aims to deliver a comprehensive operational solution tailored for solar installation companies.

Blu Banyan’s flagship product, SolarSuccess, is built on the Oracle NetSuite platform. It is a robust ERP system that enables residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar businesses to convert projects into cash 40% faster by integrating sales, customer relationship management (CRM), accounting, purchasing, project management, inventory, invoicing, and reporting into a single management system.

Enact’s software streamlines the design and proposal workflows for solar and energy storage projects, ensuring speed, accuracy, and consistency from concept to contract. Together, their offerings tackle the unique challenges faced by solar installation businesses striving for scalable and profitable operations. Success in the solar industry requires high performance across various complex functions, necessitating seamless collaboration among project design, delivery, real-time cash and inventory management, accounting, marketing, and sales tracking.

Through this partnership, Enact and Blu Banyan aim to provide a unique and powerful integrated solution. Users of Enact’s software will now have direct access to detailed bill of materials (BOM), inventory, and pricing data from SolarSuccess within the Enact Proposal module. This integration allows design imagery and contract data to flow smoothly between Enact and SolarSuccess, eliminating the need to manage projects in multiple systems and streamlining workflows to reduce costs and enhance operational efficiency.

This integrated solution offers two significant advantages for solar companies: it accelerates proposal and contract generation to close deals faster and improves project management to ensure quicker cash flow. Efficient operations benefit both customers and installers.

“Leveraging the capabilities of our integrated offering, the partnership with Enact is focused on addressing the key challenges that solar installers face, providing all staff with easy, real-time access to the essential features needed for success,” said Jan Rippingale, Founder and CEO of Blu Banyan. “SolarSuccess offers extensive operational optimizations that automate business processes, minimize errors, and significantly reduce the time from project initiation to profitable payment. The integration with Enact equips solar professionals with the cross-functional visibility necessary to fully engage and elevate their companies.”

“The Enact–Blu Banyan partnership signifies a groundbreaking advancement for the solar industry,” stated Deep Chakraborty, CEO and Co-Founder of Enact. “By streamlining the project change management cycle, this collaboration will deliver immediate value to customers of both Enact and Blu Banyan across all markets. Most importantly, it addresses a critical issue in our industry: the disconnect between sales and operations teams. Solar companies will experience substantial cost savings by reducing design and ordering errors, enhancing operational efficiency, and ensuring customer satisfaction.”

Enact and Blu Banyan will be present at the Enact Solar Summit in New York on June 17, 2025, where they will share further insights on how this partnership will enhance installer productivity and profitability, as well as discuss best practices for the future of the solar industry.
