Solar / Energy Management Solution

Overview

A system concept for solar and energy businesses that need to move quoting, customer records and installation tracking off spreadsheets and into one connected workflow.

Client / Industry

Solar / renewable energy installers

Problem

Quoting, customer details and installation status were split across spreadsheets, email threads and paper forms, making it hard to track a job from enquiry to completion.

Solution

A structured web application that carries a lead through quoting, scheduling, installation and documentation in one place, with role-based access for office and field staff.

Key Features

• Quote builder with configurable panel/inverter packages
• Customer and site record management
• Installation scheduling and status tracking
• Document storage for permits, certificates and sign-off forms

Development Process

• Mapped the existing paper-and-spreadsheet workflow
• Designed a data model for leads, sites and jobs
• Prototyped the quoting and scheduling screens
• Planned integration points for supplier and automation APIs

Results

Concept stage — intended outcome is a single system replacing several disconnected spreadsheets for a small installation team.

Challenges

Balancing a flexible quoting engine against keeping the interface simple enough for non-technical office staff.

Future Improvements

Supplier price-list integration, automated compliance document generation, and a customer-facing status portal.
