Run your solar installation business with tools built for the way you work
Turn everyday solar operations into simple apps you control. Build lead capture pages, site survey forms, proposal and pipeline dashboards, installation schedules, permit and inspection trackers, inventory tools and customer status portals — just by describing what you need.
Start with the basics
Build the tools your solar team actually needs
Solar installers juggle a long workflow: qualifying leads, collecting utility bills and roof details, coordinating site surveys, submitting permits to different AHJs, scheduling crews and inspections, and keeping customers informed. Much of it lives in spreadsheets, email threads and whiteboards, which slows handoffs and creates avoidable mistakes.
Use YeshBe to build custom apps around your exact process. Create a lead intake that gathers the right data for your market, standardize site survey checklists and photo capture, manage your proposal and install pipeline, and track permits and inspections in one place. Add an internal dashboard for teams and a simple customer portal to reduce status calls and keep projects moving.
Because you’re building it to fit your business, you can mirror your terminology, fields and stages — panels, inverters, racking, specific AHJ requirements, utility steps and your crew scheduling rules — instead of molding your workflow to generic software.
- Lead capture & qualificationCreate forms that collect address, utility usage and roof details, route leads and score them your way.
- Site survey & photosBuild mobile checklists for measurements, panel/meter photos, shading notes and required attachments.
- Projects, permits & inspectionsTrack AHJ requirements, submissions, approvals and inspection outcomes in a single dashboard.
- Inventory & suppliersMonitor panels, inverters, racking and purchase orders, and plan deliveries to warehouse or job sites.

Solar lead intake and qualification
Capture high-intent leads and qualify them fast with the data your team needs.
PromptBuild a solar lead intake and qualification app. Public page collects name, phone, email, service address, average monthly bill or kWh, roof type (asphalt/tile/metal), number of stories, HOA yes/no, and preferred timeframe. Let customers upload a recent utility bill. Internally, create a lead pipeline with stages (New, Contacted, Qualified, Proposal, Lost), owner assignment, notes, follow-up date, and a simple estimator field that suggests a system size based on an adjustable rule I can update later.
Mobile site survey app
Give field techs a consistent checklist and photo capture flow for every project.
PromptCreate a mobile-friendly site survey app for solar projects. Select a project, then capture roof pitch, estimated usable area, main service panel amperage and spaces, meter location, attic access, structural notes and shading/obstructions. Require photo categories: front of house, roof planes, main service panel, meter, attic, obstructions. Allow measurements and notes per category. Include a completion checklist and a summary page for the design/proposal team.
Installation schedule & permit tracker
Coordinate crews, deliveries, permits and inspections in one place.
PromptBuild a project and permit tracker for solar installs. Use stages: Design, Permit Submitted, Permit Approved, Scheduled, In Progress, Inspection Scheduled, Inspection Passed, PTO Requested, Closed. Store AHJ, utility, permit number, submittal date, expiration date, and inspection date/result. Add a calendar view by crew to schedule install dates and inspection appointments, with daily capacity per crew. Include a dashboard that flags permits nearing expiration and approved jobs not yet scheduled.
Customer project portal
Keep homeowners informed and reduce status calls with a simple portal.
PromptCreate a customer portal linked to each solar project. Give each customer a unique project link where they can see a timeline/status, upcoming appointments, requested documents (e.g., utility bill, HOA approval) with file uploads, and an FAQ section. Include a message log between the customer and project coordinator. On the admin side, control which fields are visible to customers and update status notes.
