Our second product is here – transforming how commercial solar companies manage portfolios and client relationships post-installation

‍

We're thrilled to announce the official launch of Orkestra Operate, our comprehensive asset management platform designed specifically for commercial and industrial (C&I) solar operations. This milestone represents our second major product release, perfectly complementing our flagship feasibility tool, Orkestra Plan, as we continue building the complete energy decision-making platform.

‍

Why We Built Operate

‍

Over the past two years, we've been listening. Through extensive customer research and market analysis, we uncovered four critical challenges that solar companies face after installation:

‍

1. Customers can't see their project value
Despite investing in solar for financial benefits, both customers and service providers lack clear visibility into actual performance and savings.

‍

2. Data trapped in silos makes operations expensive
Asset managers juggle multiple platforms and manual processes, making quality service delivery difficult and expensive to scale.

‍

3. Maintenance prioritisation misses what matters most
Current monitoring focuses on energy underperformance but ignores the ultimate metric – financial impact measured in dollars per day.

‍

4. Platforms take a narrow view of operations
Existing solutions are energy-centric but don't address the broader business needs of client relationship management and portfolio growth.

‍

"We discovered that while some companies excel at operations and maintenance, many struggle to scale cost-effectively or maintain meaningful relationships with customers post-installation," said Chris Cooper, Co-founder and Co-CEO. "Too often, customers without ongoing maintenance contracts never hear from their installer again – not because companies don't care, but because they lack the data and tools to engage confidently."

Our Vision: The Complete Energy Platform

‍

What makes Orkestra unique is our vision of the complete project lifecycle. We're not just building software – we're empowering solar installers, energy consultants, and project developers to transform their businesses from one-time transaction providers to long-term trusted energy advisors.

‍

Operate represents the second step in our three-product master plan:

1. Plan – Feasibility analysis for pre-sale business cases ✓
2. Operate – Asset performance tracking post-installation ✓
3. Optimize – Performance improvement prospecting (coming 2026)

‍

This integrated approach helps our customers build sustainable, scalable businesses while their clients achieve their energy goals. It's the difference between selling a product and becoming an indispensable energy partner.

‍

‍

Looking Ahead: Global Expansion and New Technologies

‍

The launch of Operate comes off the back of a big year for Orkestra as we continue our expansion into the UK and European markets throughout 2025. While our flagship Plan product – our comprehensive feasibility analysis platform for solar, battery, and EV charging projects – leads our international growth, we're building the foundation for a complete global energy platform.

‍

Our European expansion with Plan reflects the massive opportunity we see in these markets, enabling solar installers, energy consultants, project developers, and energy services companies to accurately service the commercial and industrial sector and scale their teams. Whether it's helping commercial customers evaluate solar and battery solutions, or enabling PPA companies to model complex financing structures, Orkestra Plan's advanced capabilities – from rapid viability assessments to interactive sales proposals – are resonating strongly across new markets.

‍

The combination of global expansion and cutting-edge innovation represents our commitment to not just keeping pace with the energy industry's evolution, but helping lead it. Whether you're managing solar assets in Sydney, London, or anywhere in between, Orkestra is building fast, easy and accurate tools that will scale as you do, into the energy future.
