Sound Familiar?
The challenges that slow down every solar installation business - and cost you projects.
"I'm juggling 4+ tools for every project"
Switching between separate design, simulation, and proposal tools wastes hours - and mistakes slip through the cracks every time.
"I spend hours on layouts that should take minutes"
Manual layouts, hand-drawn SLDs, and spreadsheet BOMs eat up entire days - time you could spend closing the next deal.
"We keep going back to the roof to fix mistakes"
Missed shading or code issues mean truck rolls, rework, and angry customers - all because the design wasn't right the first time.
"New hires take months before they're productive"
Complex tools mean long onboarding. Every new designer you hire slows the whole team down for weeks.
One Platform, Every Installer Workflow
From rooftop modeling to final proposal - SurgePV replaces your entire tool stack with a single, intelligent platform.
Rooftop Modeling
Tackle every roof type - flat, pitched, or complex - with AI-powered modeling tools that generate faces, folds, and dormers accurately, cutting manual work and design errors.
- ✓ AI-generated roof geometry
- ✓ Google 3D, NearMap, Esri integration
- ✓ Dormers and multi-tilt support
Electrical Design
Optimize string sizing, integrate microinverters or optimizers, and calculate wire sizes - all while maintaining code compliance automatically.
- ✓ Auto string sizing & SLD generation
- ✓ Microinverter & optimizer support
- ✓ Built-in code compliance checks
Reporting & Proposals
Turn complex designs into detailed Bills of Materials and interactive proposals. Share irradiance maps, shading reports, and financial insights with clients.
- ✓ Auto-generated BOMs from designs
- ✓ Branded, shareable proposals
- ✓ Irradiance maps & financial reports
From Site Visit to Signed Proposal in Minutes
Four steps to replace your entire design-to-proposal workflow - all from a single cloud platform.
Model the Roof
Import satellite imagery and let AI generate an accurate 3D roof model in seconds - flat, pitched, or complex.
Design the Layout
Place panels automatically or manually, run shading analysis, and optimize for maximum energy output.
Generate Electricals
Auto-create SLDs, string sizing, and wire calculations. Everything code-compliant, ready for permitting.
Send the Proposal
Generate a professional, branded proposal with BOM, financials, and 3D visuals - share it before you leave the site.

What software do solar installers use?
Solar installers typically use a mix of CAD tools, shading simulators, spreadsheet BOMs, and proposal generators. SurgePV replaces all of these with one solar software platform \u2014 combining AI roof modeling, shading analysis, financial modeling, and branded proposals so teams design faster and close more deals.
How do solar installers design systems faster?
Installers speed up by automating repetitive tasks. SurgePV's AI generates 3D roof models in 60 seconds, auto-places panels, sizes strings, and exports permit-ready SLDs. Designs that once took hours now take minutes \u2014 giving installers more time on the roof and less time on a computer.
Can one tool replace AutoCAD for solar design?
For solar-specific layouts, yes. SurgePV generates every deliverable an installer needs \u2014 roof plans, panel layouts, SLDs, BOMs, and shading reports \u2014 without manual drafting. While AutoCAD is still used for structural engineering, most EPCs find SurgePV handles the entire solar design workflow faster and with fewer errors.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the software save time for installers?
SurgePV automates layouts, shading analysis, BOMs, and SLDs — reducing design time from hours to minutes. Everything happens in one platform, so there's no switching between tools or manual data entry.
Can installers use it on-site during visits?
Yes. SurgePV is fully cloud-based, so you can design systems and present proposals live during site visits — on any device with a browser. No installations required.
How accurate are BOMs and electrical drawings?
BOMs are generated directly from your designs ensuring 98% accuracy. SLDs are auto-created with correct string sizing, wire gauges, and component specifications for error-free installations.
Does it reduce post-installation rework?
Yes. Built-in code compliance checks and precise shading analysis catch issues before installation — not after. This minimizes truck rolls, rework, and warranty claims.
How does it improve team collaboration?
SurgePV centralizes all designs, files, and proposals in one cloud workspace. Every team member — from sales to engineering — works from the same source of truth, eliminating version confusion and miscommunication.
What is the best software for solar installers?
The best software for solar installers combines design, shading analysis, financial modeling, and proposal generation in one platform. SurgePV replaces four or more disconnected tools, cutting design time by 60–70% and letting installers close deals on the first visit.
Do I need technical training to use SurgePV?
No. Most installers are productive within a day. The AI handles roof modeling and panel placement automatically, while built-in compliance rules guide string sizing and electrical design. New team members can generate their first permit-ready design within hours.
