Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Enact Systems is a verified, mature distributed energy software company (founded 2014, Series B) with significant global traction, processing over $1.5B in projects annually across 35+ countries. The platform offers high real-world utility for solar installers and homeowners, substantiated by external search results verifying their acquisition of PVComplete and extensive market presence. However, the project submission itself was of very low quality, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'), missing financial data, and using a likely pseudonym ('BlazeBlade'). The final score credits the verified high value and scale of the company while applying significant penalties to the Quality Factors for Reach, Traction, and Response due to the poor submission data.

Description
ENACT Systems offers the #1 Cloud Software for Distributed Solar and Energy Storage Projects, now used in 25+ countries. \n\nThe transition to a clean energy economy is underway: 3 million US homes already have solar energy, with 500,000 more projected to “go solar” this year. Consumer demand for clean energy is gaining momentum and will continue to grow. Yet the solar buying journey and ownership experience are filled with uncertainty and unmet needs. We level the playing field for homeowners and end-customers — helping them understand their solar and storage system performance and achieve their savings goals. We also empower providers - both installers and OEMs - a digital platform to engage more effectively with their customers.
