About Nuance Energy
Since 2017, Nuance Energy Group Inc. has been a trailblazer in the solar industry, developing modular, pre-engineered Made in USA solar racking solutions that make ground-mount installations more practical and affordable at any scale. We have a loyal, almost cult-like, following of customers across 46 states, Puerto Rico, and five other countries. Supported by a strategic network of 3PL distribution centers nationwide, we ensure that our award-winning and multi-patented turnkey solar racking systems are readily available.
Our mission has been to save customers time and money by designing, engineering, and manufacturing cutting-edge solar racking systems. In 2020 and 2021, we secured USPTO approval for multiple utility and methodology patents on modular, transportable, and multi-configurable ground mount solar racking systems paired with earth anchor foundation technology, to anchor load test in real-time soil conditions. Our innovations have transformed the U.S. solar industry, challenging the status quo with their outdated approaches to ground-mount solar systems by streamlining engineering, deployment, and field assembly techniques for rapid installations and installer scalability.
In June 2022, we built on the tremendous success of our flagship Osprey PowerPlatform® by launching the second-generation Osprey PowerRACK®, designed to 1) reduce labor and material costs and 2) help loyal customers take back control of their installation schedules for residential and commercial ground mount projects. This modular solar racking system significantly cuts mobilization time with single-day installs, simplifies field construction, and saves up to 72 person-hours on residential projects—putting crews back on the rooftops to drive revenue faster. With its versatile design suitable across diverse terrains, soil conditions, and vertical markets, the Osprey PowerRACK® is making ground-mount solar a true profit center.
In December 2024, we have developed and will bring to market another industry first – a complete solar racking system deployed on the ground or on the roof. This coveted Osprey PowerNEST® design enables contractors, installers and EPCs to procure product, inventory product and us these same parts for ground mount projects or commercial roof top installations. The Osprey PowerNEST® is a truly novel approach to an East/West solar design layout with an extraordinarily low cost of entry to the solar market.

PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
As CEO and Founder of Nuance Energy Group, Inc., Brian Boguess leads the company’s strategic direction, sales, vertical market expansion, and emerging product licensing. His vision and hands-on approach to product development were instrumental in creating the company’s award-winning and multi-patented solar racking solutions—the OSPREY PowerPlatform®, Osprey PowerRACK® and the Osprey PowerNEST.
Brian is known for his ability to develop practical solutions to complex business challenges, driving revenue growth and improving operational efficiency. His business acumen has earned him respect among industry peers and loyalty from his team—qualities that were especially valuable to Nuance Energy during COVID-19 and the global pandemic. Under Brian’s leadership, Nuance Energy operates on a “value-driven” model, prioritizing time and cost savings over racing to the lowest price that defines much of the “commodity-driven” solar industry. This approach has cultivated a dedicated customer base that values Nuance Energy’s commitment to quality and efficiency.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, Brian has launched successful startup ventures in real estate, eCommerce software, and travel and hospitality. Before founding Nuance Energy, he held top-revenue-producing positions in sales, management, and business development roles with leading organizations, including Reed Elsevier Publishing, Oracle eTravel, Kimpton Hotel Group, and SunPower Corporation.
Brian is passionate about making the world run on renewable energy and preserving our natural resources for future generations.

He also enjoys staying active with golf, volleyball, skiing, hiking, and global travel with his family. Brian and Monique reside in the laid-back beach town of Redondo Beach, CA, with their two rescue dogs, Django and Piper.
