Automate Your Solar Back-Office: AI Data Entry for Faster Installs

Stop wasting project manager time on manual data entry between Aurora Solar and JobNimbus. Our AI extracts data from utility bills and permits to accelerate your interconnection.

The residential solar industry operates on razor-thin windows for lead conversion and project momentum. With average residential installs valued between $15,000 and $30,000, a delay in permitting or a missed field in an interconnection agreement can stall five-figure revenue for weeks. Most teams currently lose hours manually transcribing kWh usage from utility bill PDFs into design software like OpenSolar or Solo, leading to human errors that fail utility audits.

Furthermore, the complexity of NEC requirements and local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) variations creates a massive documentation burden. Scaling from 10 to 50 installs per month usually requires a linear increase in administrative headcount. Our AI document processing breaks this bottleneck by allowing your existing team to handle 3x the project volume through automated data extraction and cross-platform synchronization.

Problems We Solve

Lead Qualification Lag

Automatically extract 12-month usage history and meter numbers from utility bills in seconds, allowing sales reps to generate accurate Aurora Solar quotes while still on the first call.

Permitting Bottlenecks

Eliminate manual entry into AHJ permit applications. Our AI maps site assessment data directly into municipal forms, reducing the 2-week permit prep cycle to under 48 hours.

Interconnection Rejections

Utility companies reject 15% of applications due to typos. Our AI cross-references signed contracts with utility filings to ensure 100% data integrity before submission.

Incentive & ITC Compliance

Automatically aggregate and verify site photos, signed contracts, and inspection reports required for Federal ITC and state-level incentive documentation, ensuring no tax credits are left on the table.

What You Get

Utility Bill OCR

High-accuracy extraction of customer names, service addresses, and monthly kWh consumption from any US utility provider PDF.

🔄

JobNimbus & Scoop Sync

Two-way data synchronization that updates your CRM the moment a permit is approved or an inspection is passed.

📸

Site Assessment Analysis

AI-driven analysis of field technician notes and photos to flag potential MPU (Main Panel Upgrade) requirements automatically.

🏠

Automated HOA Coordination

Generates and submits HOA approval packages by merging project designs with community-specific application forms.

What It Costs

Setup

$3,000 - $6,000

Monthly

$400 - $800

ROI Example

A solar installer processing 15 projects a month saves approximately 45 hours of administrative labor. At $35/hr, this is a $1,575 monthly saving in labor alone, plus the benefit of closing deals 3x faster due to instant lead response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can your AI read handwritten site assessment notes?

Yes, our advanced OCR models can process legible handwriting from field technicians, converting site measurements and panel labels into structured data for your engineering team.

Does this work with Aurora Solar and OpenSolar?

Absolutely. We specialize in extracting data from lead intake forms and injecting it directly into design tools via API or automated data mapping, eliminating the need for manual re-entry.

How do you handle different utility bill formats from across the country?

Our models are trained on thousands of utility bill variations. Whether it's PG&E in California or ConEd in New York, the AI identifies the relevant data points regardless of the layout.

Is the data extraction secure for customer PII?

Security is our priority. All data processing is SOC2 compliant, and we use encrypted pipelines to ensure that customer names, addresses, and social security numbers (for financing docs) are never exposed.

Can it help with PTO (Permission to Operate) delays?

Yes. By automating the final document check and ensuring all inspection signatures are present, we reduce the back-and-forth with utilities that often delays the final PTO letter.
