The operating system for solar contractors
RevForge OS reads the signals across your business and runs the work that slips, so you win more jobs, protect margin, and get paid faster. Below: what to look for in software for a solar company, the numbers that actually move it, and the 116 markets we cover.
Solar is a long, high-intent sale, and the cost of a slow follow-up is brutal: the homeowner who was ready in March signs with whoever stayed in touch by June. Proposals are heavy with incentive math, permitting and install scheduling bottleneck the whole pipeline, and a single dropped thread loses a five-figure deal.
Where solar contractors lose jobs and margin
- high-intent leads burn out during long, multi-touch sales cycles
- complex proposals and incentive math slow every quote down
- permitting and install scheduling bottleneck the whole pipeline
- follow-up on proposals slips and a competitor closes first
Five Forges, one loop
RevForge OS does not just record the work. Five Forges run the loop end to end, from demand to getting paid, and feed one living briefing. You decide how far each goes.
every solar lead scored and nurtured through the long cycle
proposals built fast, priced to win, and followed up until they close
permitting and install scheduling kept moving, not stalled
incentive math and pricing that protect margin on every system
financing and invoices tracked so cash lands when it should
What RevForge OS watches for a solar company
- high-intent leads cooling during the long sales cycle
- proposals waiting on incentive math
- permitting and install scheduling stalling the pipeline
- proposals sent but not followed up
How to choose software for your solar company
For a solar company, the make-or-break is whether the system nurtures a long cycle without a human babysitting every lead. Look for a layer that scores and nurtures each lead through months of consideration, builds incentive-accurate proposals fast, and keeps permitting and installs from stalling the pipeline.
Field software logs the job and waits for a person to act. Look for a system that works the lead, builds the quote, protects the margin, and chases the cash on its own.
The last thing you need is one more tool bolted onto five others. Look for one platform that runs the business end to end, the website, the customer record, the work, and the money, with the intelligence built in, and that migrates your data over for you.
Generic dashboards leave the thinking to you. Look for something that already understands how your trade wins and loses work, and shapes itself to it.
From surfacing what is happening to running the loop end to end, you set the level of autonomy and change it anytime. Nothing acts behind your back.
You should see the first real result in the first week, not after a six-month rollout and a five-figure onboarding bill.
The numbers that move a solar company
- lead-to-proposal time
- proposal follow-up and close rate
- permit-to-install cycle time
- cost per acquired install
Closing one more install a month from disciplined nurture and follow-up dwarfs the cost. With deal sizes this large, even a small lift in close rate changes the year.
Solar software questions, answered
Can it nurture leads through a months-long cycle?
Yes. It scores every lead and keeps the right follow-up going through the long consideration period, so the homeowner who was ready months ago signs with you, not whoever stayed in touch.
Will it speed up proposals?
Yes. It helps build incentive-accurate proposals fast and priced to win, so quotes go out while the customer is still engaged.
Can it keep permitting and installs moving?
Yes. It surfaces where permitting and install scheduling are stalling the pipeline so jobs keep moving instead of piling up.
