Alumni Ventures Invests in Enact Systems to Accelerate Solar Adoption
Enact CEO Deep Chakraborty Recently Discussed His Company on AV’s Tech Optimist Podcast
Alumni Ventures (AV), one of the world’s most active venture capital firms, is a proud investor in Enact Systems (Enact), a leader in solar and battery storage technology. Enact’s advanced, user-friendly platform is designed to streamline the customer journey from project design to implementation to performance tracking. AV invested in the company’s $11.5 million Series A led by Energy Growth Momentum, with participation from NB Ventures, Olympus Capital, and ARKA Venture Labs.
Enact Systems has developed a comprehensive SaaS platform that automates the process of designing, delivering, and measuring the outcomes of solar and battery storage projects. By leveraging proprietary software, Enact simplifies the complex process of adopting renewable energy solutions for buildings, homes, and businesses. The platform enables users to remotely design projects using satellite imagery, eliminating the need for site visits, and integrates all necessary data to create detailed proposals quickly.

“Enact is all about making the transition to solar power seamless and transparent for consumers and businesses,” said Co-Founder and CEO Deep Chakraborty, who recently discussed his company on AV’s Tech Optimist podcast. “Our platform provides an end-to-end solution that not only simplifies the design and installation process but also tracks the financial performance of these investments over time, ensuring our customers see the real value of their projects.”
While Enact Systems originated in California, it has seen significant growth across the United States and internationally. This includes rapid adoption in California and the Northeast, driven by the increase in electric vehicle ownership and the corresponding rise in electricity bills. Internationally, markets in Germany, Italy, the Middle East, and India are experiencing incredible growth due to lower hardware costs and faster payback periods.
“Enact’s commitment to transparency and efficiency aligns perfectly with our vision for sustainable investments,” said AV Managing Partner Greg Baker, who hosted the conversation with Chakraborty on AV’s Tech Optimist podcast. “Their technology not only simplifies the adoption of solar power, but also ensures that consumers can see and trust the financial benefits.”
Enact‘s award-winning software platform is designed to transform and accelerate clean energy globally. Enact is the only two-sided platform that allows both residential and
commercial users to simplify their entire solar and energy storage purchase and ownership journey, designed by Enact and delivered by local solar professionals. Enact also enables thousands of professionals in over 25 countries to sell and deliver projects and manage solar assets for long-term performance. Visit https://enact.solar/ to learn more.
