Energy Toolbase (ETB) is a solar and energy storage software platform used by installers, EPCs, and asset developers to design, finance, and operate distributed energy projects. The platform is organized around four products. ETB Developer is a financial modeling and proposal tool that pulls from a database of 120,000+ utility rates and 50+ net metering programs plus 200+ incentive and rebate programs to run cash-flow analysis, demand response modeling, and integrated financing calculations for solar and storage deals, using Acumen AI simulations to size systems. ETB Controller is asset-optimization hardware and software that manages behind-the-meter value (demand charge management, time-of-use arbitrage) and grid services participation such as wholesale market and SMART/Clean Peak Standard programs, available in system sizes from 100 kWh up to 5,000 kWh and compatible with 12+ energy storage hardware vendors including Generac and Sol-Ark. ETB Monitor is a real-time monitoring layer that tracks actual-versus-expected solar generation, runs bill calculations and measurement & verification, and issues performance alerts. ETB Consulting rounds out the platform with expert-led tariff optimization, solar design, and system-sizing services. According to the company's own site, Energy Toolbase has been operating for over a decade, has 80+ employees, has generated 3 million+ proposals, and serves 1,500+ energy clients.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Covers the full project lifecycle in one platform — proposal/financial modeling (ETB Developer), hardware asset optimization (ETB Controller), and post-install monitoring (ETB Monitor)
Large built-in utility rate and incentive database (120,000+ rates, 50+ net metering programs, 200+ incentive/rebate programs) removes manual research from proposal building
Business tier supports white-labeled, web-shareable proposals and custom financing/incentive models for teams selling to end customers
Compatible with 12+ energy storage hardware vendors, including named integrations with Generac and Sol-Ark, reducing hardware lock-in
Cons
No published free trial or self-serve free tier — the software plans require an annual per-user commitment starting at $299/user/month
Hardware products (ETB Controller, ETB Monitor) carry a large upfront cost, starting at $7,500 and $34,000 respectively, which is out of reach for very small or first-time installers
ETB Consulting services have no published pricing, requiring a sales conversation before cost is known
