What SolarDesk is
SolarDesk is a web platform for residential and commercial solar installers that brings company operations into one system. It covers CRM, prospecting, 3D solar design, scheduling and installation, inventory and material tracking, HR and onboarding, and contracts with e-signatures. The design studio provides irradiance heatmaps, panel-level shading analysis, panel placement tools, and live solar production estimates. Designs can produce shareable proposals containing system specifications, production, pricing, financing options, and premium upgrades for customer e-signature. They also create a material list that can become a one-click purchase order through the supplier portal. Optional Gmail integration syncs messages with CRM contacts, while Google Calendar supports availability and two-way event sync. SolarDesk offers a 14-day trial without a credit card, with every module available. Pricing is on request under a custom flat-rate plan scoped to team size and operational volume. Solar simulations and production estimates are approximations, not guarantees.
