Enact Helps German Solar Companies to Speed Up the Energy Transition with Software
In addition to the proposal software, companies can utilize rapid proposal design services for swift project deployment.
Skilled labor is a bottleneck in the German solar sector – even to the extent that it slows down the energy transition. Software can help installing companies become more efficient and focus on their key competencies. Many installers want to spend more time with their customers mounting PV modules and creating revenue. However, the reality today is many of them need too much time with back-office work such as writing proposals, providing quotations, and pre-designing solar systems. This is where the award-winning US-based software company Enact enters the field, offering a platform for both solar installers and end-consumers. Enact has launched its platform in Germany and solar professionals can now design a residential or commercial solar and/or storage proposal in minutes. – Enact’s proposals are complete with a detailed layout design of panels (including 3D Shading analysis), and system sizing with a full bill of materials as well as a complete savings analysis based on local electric rates. Proposals can be customized for pricing and margins, and cash vs financed options. Beyond proposals, the software helps streamline project contracts, documents, and timelines as well.
Enact’s proposals can be fully managed in German and solar companies can entirely customize the look and feel, branding, and technical details of their proposal. In addition to the software access, Enact’s team has also launched a design service – so for those solar companies that do not want to utilize the software themselves, they can request design services from Enact with a same-day turnaround. All designs are stored in the solar company’s login for the team to track progress, or to make and/or request edits. This allows solar companies to scale their sales pipeline rapidly and efficiently. “We have been using Enact’s platform and Design Services for over a year now. The precision and speed of their offering, with thousands of proposals delivered for our team has had a significant positive impact on our business,” said David Wolf, CEO and Co-Founder of SolarHub GmbH, a rapidly growing German residential solar company. “Our Enact software platform already enables thousands of professionals in 25+ countries to design, deliver and manage solar and energy storage projects for long-term performance”, highlights Deep Chakraborty, Enact’s CEO. “Our platform already processes Euro1.5 billion in annual proposal value.
