About Solar 21

Solar 21 is a renewable energy investment firm developing and managing large-scale energy infrastructure projects across Europe. With multiple teams working across complex project lifecycles, they needed a better way to organise and share project documentation, internally and with partners.

The Challenge

Before Projectfusion, the team relied on Windows folder structures, fine for internal storage, but lacking in collaboration and control. For critical projects, especially those involving external stakeholders, it wasn’t enough.

“We were using Windows folders, but there was no real collaboration, just a depository. We needed a platform that was intuitive, user-friendly, and didn’t require heavy technical onboarding.”

The Solution

Projectfusion gave Solar 21 a fast, easy-to-use data room and collaboration hub that fit naturally into their workflow. The platform offered:

  • Full control over structure and access
  • Built-in tutorials and simple navigation
  • Secure sharing with external users
  • Cost savings vs. alternatives like Thomson Reuters

“It’s plug-and-play. Even the most technophobic users can get by. Everything is built into the platform, no need for extra training or software installs.”

They now structure each room by project lifecycle, legal, financial, environmental, construction, giving each team clarity and control.

The Results

  • Better collaboration across departments
  • Clean audit trails and document control
  • Lower cost than competitors
  • Simpler sales and compliance processes

“From a finance point of view, it’s the best bang for our buck. It works like a virtual data room but with real collaboration built in.”

Why They Recommend Projectfusion

“Simplicity is key. It’s easy to use, supports collaboration, and customer service has been surprisingly responsive. We’ve had full confidence from the start.”
