Solar installers are dealing with a surge in demand and most are quoting manually. An automated quoting tool that factors in roof size, orientation, and rebates can turn around proposals in minutes instead of days.

Solar installers, battery storage providers, and renewable energy consultants. These are the specific problems we see solar & renewable energy businesses bring to us:

2. Tracking permits, grid connections, and compliance paperwork. Our approach: monthly advisory retainers available as a fractional AI officer for your firm. This directly addresses the way solar & renewable energy professionals actually work.

3. Coordinating installation crews and equipment logistics. Our approach: actionable roadmap with prioritised recommendations and realistic ROI estimates. This directly addresses the way solar & renewable energy professionals actually work.

4. Following up on leads from rebate and incentive enquiries. Our approach: advice from someone who builds AI products daily, not just advises on them. This directly addresses the way solar & renewable energy professionals actually work.

What Solar & Renewable Energy Businesses Can Expect

We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For solar & renewable energy businesses, the key metrics are:

Installations per month: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Quote conversion rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Average system value: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Tech adoption in solar & renewable energy is at the medium level. About half of solar & renewable energy businesses now use some form of digital tools. But most are using off-the-shelf products that only partially fit. Custom software built around your actual workflows is the next step.

Typical investment: $1000-2500. Most solar & renewable energy clients see measurable ROI within the first month.

How We Work with Solar & Renewable Energy Clients

Discovery. You tell us about your solar & renewable energy business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.

Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For solar & renewable energy projects, this usually falls within $1000-2500.

Build. We build your solution, typically within 1 day to ongoing. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.

Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we start with a pilot version of AI Consulting for our Solar & Renewable Energy business?

That is exactly how we recommend starting. Build a focused pilot, test it with real users, and expand from there. This approach saves money and ensures you are building something that actually works for your Solar & Renewable Energy team.

Does AI Consulting include reporting for my Solar & Renewable Energy business?

Yes. We can build dashboards and reports tailored to the metrics that matter in Solar & Renewable Energy. Whether you need daily summaries, monthly trends, or real-time data, we will set it up so you always know how things are going.

How customised is AI Consulting for Solar & Renewable Energy businesses?

Completely. Unlike generic software, we build AI Consulting around how your Solar & Renewable Energy business actually works. Every feature, workflow, and screen is designed for your specific needs.

Will there be downtime when rolling out AI Consulting in my Solar & Renewable Energy business?

No. We plan rollouts carefully to avoid disrupting your Solar & Renewable Energy operations. New systems run alongside existing ones during the transition, so there is no downtime for your team or customers.

Can I access AI Consulting on my phone for my Solar & Renewable Energy business?

Yes. We build responsive web applications that work on phones, tablets, and desktops. You and your Solar & Renewable Energy team can access everything from any device with an internet connection.

Do you work with non-technical business owners?

Absolutely. Most of our consulting clients are business owners and partners who are not technical. We explain everything in plain language and focus on business outcomes rather than technical jargon. If you need technical depth, we can go there. But we never assume you want it.

Which industries do you specialise in?

We work across professional services broadly, with particular depth in accounting, legal, financial planning, real estate, and recruitment. We also serve trades businesses, healthcare practices, and e-commerce companies. The common thread is SMEs with five to two hundred staff who know they should be using AI but are not sure where to start or how to do it safely.
