The software gaps quietly costing solar companies installs
Solar has a strong top of funnel and a leaky middle. Leads come in from ads and referrals, but the handoff between marketing, sales, and operations is where deals quietly die.
The three most common leaks: slow follow-up (a lead that waits a day is often gone), manual quoting that kills momentum, and no single view of the pipeline from inquiry to installed. Each one is fixable with software built for the workflow.
You don't need to rip out your CRM. Often the highest-ROI move is custom automation around the gaps it doesn't cover: instant lead routing, faster quoting, and follow-up that doesn't depend on someone remembering. Start with the one leak costing you the most installs.
