OSW (One Stop Warehouse), a force in Australia’s solar distribution sector, has marked a new chapter in its growth by securing $5.5 million in strategic investment from SparkEdge Capital, a renowned Shanghai-based venture capital firm specializing in energy and technology advancements. This significant funding round marks a pivotal moment as OSW sets its sights on expanding its clean energy footprint globally.
Since its founding in 2013, OSW has established itself as Australia’s market leader in solar distribution, consistently holding the top spot for seven consecutive years. Beyond Australia, OSW’s international operations have flourished, particularly throughout Europe, with impressive market penetration rates—exceeding 20% in select regions of the Netherlands and Poland. This proven track record has laid a strong foundation for the company’s ambitious global expansion.
The infusion of new capital is targeted at fueling OSW’s growth in key solar markets such as the United States, Mexico, Spain, and Romania. A substantial portion of the investment will drive the rapid development and deployment of OSW’s proprietary GreenSketch platform. GreenSketch stands at the forefront of digital transformation in the energy sector as the world’s first free, end-to-end solar design tool, allowing seamless integration of system design, procurement, subsidy applications, and project management.
By leveraging artificial intelligence and automation, OSW aims to streamline every stage of the clean energy journey—from design and compliance to credit scoring and carbon tracking—making solar adoption swifter and more accessible. Strategic partnerships in these new regions will further support local rollout and the scaling of infrastructure. With the backing of SparkEdge Capital, OSW is poised to accelerate the global transition toward an integrated, AI-driven clean energy industry.
