From roof to handover

Every step of a solar job, on your phone or laptop

1
Find the roof
Type the address and the roof comes up on the aerial photo. Roof faces, pitch and sun come from Google's roof analysis.
2
Lay out the panels
Auto layout fills the best roof faces, keeps back from the edges and shows which spots get less sun.
3
Check the designSolar Pro
Strings checked for hot and cold voltages and current, the inverter's limits and voltage rise to the meter.
4
Size the batterySolar Pro
Upload the customer's power bill or meter data and see what a battery would cover, month by month.
5
Quote it
The STC rebate, savings and payback go straight onto the quote. The customer reads it, picks it and signs on their phone.
6
Get it approved and installedSolar Pro
Single-line diagram, network approval tracker, accreditation checks, install photos and the materials order.

Why installers move across

Almost every solar installer is a sparky. Now one app does both.

Design it, book it, check the weather

Design, quote and book in one app, and know the day before if the roof's too wet or windy. Solar, switchboards and service calls share the same calendar.

One flat monthly price

No fee per design or per project. Design as many systems as you quote.

Priced from your wholesalers

Panels, inverters, rails and cable come from your own trade price files, so the quote matches what you'll pay.

Paperwork that follows the job

From the first design to the network approval and the install photos, it's all kept on the job, ready when you need it.
