Survey the roof at ten, signed system quote by noon
Roof surveys, per-kW system quotes, battery add-ons — residential solar sells fastest while the homeowner is still standing in the yard. Smart Scope turns roof photos and your spoken survey into a line-item system quote — panels, inverter, electrical — priced from your own numbers.
Why fast, honest quotes close solar deals
The roof survey is the quote
Shoot the roof planes, the meter, the service panel — the AI drafts the array size, mounting, and electrical scope from what it sees.
Your per-panel and per-kW pricing
Price systems the way you sell them — per panel, per kW, with adders for steep pitch, tile, or a main panel upgrade — all from your own book, not someone's national average.
Talk the survey, not the spreadsheet
Say it as you walk — “south face, sixteen panels, 7.6 kW inverter, forty-foot trench to the garage” — and the quote assembles itself.
Be the first real number they see
Homeowners collect three solar bids. The installer who texts a real line-item number the same hour — not a “design consultation” next week — starts the race ahead.
Deposits keep projects real
A signed quote with a deposit paid in the app means permitting and interconnection paperwork starts on a committed customer — not a maybe who ghosts at contract time.
Margin per system, visible
See margin after panels, inverter, racking, and labor on every job — so adder pricing and battery attach rates become decisions, not guesses.
Three steps from driveway to deposit
Shoot the roof
Photograph the roof planes, shading, service panel, and meter from the ground or the ladder.
Say the system
Talk the array, inverter, and electrical work out loud — priced per panel and per kW from your book.
Text the quote
The homeowner signs on their phone and pays the deposit while you're still curbside.
Three surveys, three signed systems
7.6 kW south-face system
“Sixteen panels on the south plane, 7.6 kW hybrid inverter, flush mount on comp shingle, standard interconnection.”
Panels, inverter, racking, and electrical as separate lines with a battery-ready upgrade option — signed the same morning.
System plus panel upgrade
“Eighteen panels split over two planes, 200-amp main panel upgrade, forty feet of conduit to the detached garage.”
A per-kW system quote with the panel upgrade and trenching as clearly priced adders — no surprise change order later.
Battery add-on for a past customer
“Add a 13.5 kWh battery to the existing system, back up the critical loads panel, permit and inspection included.”
A clean add-on quote with the battery, gateway, and electrical as line items — signed by text within the hour.
Every system, survey to switch-on
One visit does it all
The photo survey replaces the second “design visit” — everything the quote needs is captured the first time you're there.
Signed while interest is hot
Line-item transparency — panels, inverter, adders — closes homeowners who've been burned by vague solar pitches.
Install day, no surprises
The crew works from the same line items the customer signed — and any roof surprise becomes a signed change order, not an argument.
Switch-on and settle up
Final payment is collected in-app at permission to operate, with system margin recorded so you know your true cost per kW.
Practice quoting on sample solar jobs first.
Head to Settings, tap Add Sample Data, choose solar, and 100 realistic sample scopes load into the app — rooftop PV installs, battery retrofits, ground-mount arrays, inverter replacements, EV charger installs, monitoring troubleshoots. Each one comes with tagged line items, an activity trail, scope-of-work notes, and a financial breakdown that shows your margin. Rework the numbers all you like — the jobs are samples, so nothing real can break.
Solar installer questions
Can it quote per panel and per kW with adders?
Yes. Your price book holds per-panel and per-kW rates plus adders — steep pitch, tile roof, main panel upgrade, trenching — and the AI applies the right ones from your photos and voice notes. The homeowner sees each adder as its own line, which builds trust and kills the change-order argument later.
How do battery add-ons and options work?
Batteries work as good-better-best options or add-on line items on any quote — quote the system with a battery-ready option and let the homeowner tap the tier they want before signing. Many installers put a battery option on every quote just to lift attach rates.
Does a photo survey really replace a second site visit?
For quoting, yes. Photos of the roof planes, service panel, and meter plus your spoken shading and access notes give the AI enough to build a firm line-item quote on the spot. Final engineering still confirms the design before install — but the customer isn't left waiting a week to see a price.
