What RUUF does
We offer no-money-down installations that generate free money for homeowners from day one. We are digitalizing the whole process of going solar. Instead of using traditional forms and leaving it up to customers to fill them, we use technology to take all that burden off our customers plate. We only ask for an address and offer free instant quotes.

Company
RUUF
Managed marketplace for solar in Latam
We built a digital platform that simplifies going solar in Latin America by removing paperwork and upfront costs. Homeowners enter just their address and get free instant quotes. We manage no-money-down installations that start generating savings from day one, taking the full process off their plate.
We live in Santiago, Chile, and the company is based here. We plan to keep it here after YC.
Santiago is where our market and team are. Latin America's solar adoption is nascent and fragmented. Being local helps us understand customers and navigate logistics directly.
