The world needs to increase the amount of renewable energy to battle climate change. Glint Solar is an Oslo-based startup accelerating the growth of solar energy by making it fast and simple to find the best solar project locations.

Solar energy is growing at a tremendous rate, but reducing early risks and making data driven decisions from the start is increasingly crucial for solar developers.
