About Pylon


Pylon is a software company that was created by Nelson Zheng, a Bachelor of Engineering student who graduated from UNSW and started working as a solar engineer.

After finding a lack of affordable design options in the market, Nelson decided to create the solution he needed and was soon joined by Daniel Buckmaster, a CompSci graduate and software developer who helped build the app.

Along with a small team, Nelson and Daniel have created the #1 Solar Design Software in the world, in use from Brazil to Latvia, but particularly in Australia and New Zealand, where it has played an integral part in Australia's solar explosion.

Pylon is made to be easy to use, affordable (usually $4 per project, but free for you), and comprehensive.
