Who we are

Autarco, a premium brand in sustainable energy solutions, is renowned for its simple money-back guarantees on actual kWh production. We make solar simple for both our dealers and end users, offering a range of PV hardware, including solar panels, inverters, and mounting materials for residential and commercial installations. While other solar systems are assembled using components from multiple brands, Autarco manufactures all the elements used in its solutions. 

But what truly sets us apart is our game-changing software-enabled services. Our software team has developed a range of powerful tools that help dealers create detailed PV system designs using aerial imagery and shade detection; calculate long-term kWh yield projections as well as business cases; successfully sell their projects to end customers; and easily manage their installed base with issue detection and advanced performance monitoring. In-house developed software is vital to much of our proposition and many of our processes.

Make every moment count with Autarco.
