We spent three years inside the queue. So we learned to operate differently.
This company wasn't started by software people who discovered solar. It was started inside solar operations — three years deep in interconnection queues, utility portals, clawback lists, and backlog reports that nobody trusted.
We worked the queues the way every ops team does: CRM in one tab, utility portal in another, inbox in a third, spreadsheet on the second monitor. And we watched the same failure repeat everywhere — the truth about a project never lives in one place. The CRM says "submitted." The portal says "screening hold." The letter that matters is in a mailbox nobody checks. The deadline is in none of them.
Last month that exact gap nearly killed a project: a transformer-overload hold with a 15-business-day respond-or-withdrawn clock. CRM hold fields — blank. We caught it 11 days before expiry because our system reads what humans stop reading.
So over three years we stopped operating like everyone else. We standardized every hold reason. We made "who owns this and what's the next action" a rule, not a hope. We built aging thresholds that surface stalled projects before customers call. We taught software to reconcile the portal, the CRM, the inbox, and the task history into one evidence-backed truth per project — with a human approving every utility-facing action, every time.
Then the industry handed us the reason to share it. A hundred-plus installer bankruptcies. Orphaned fleets changing hands with unknown PTO status. Surviving teams running leaner queues with less headcount and more territories. The operators left standing can't afford archaeology anymore.
What we sell is boring on purpose: a control system, implemented on your existing data — Salesforce, TaskRay, Monday, Airtable, spreadsheets — delivered with your backlog already imported and classified. Not a dashboard you have to feed. A system that tells you where to intervene.

Send us 10 stuck projects (a CSV export is enough). Within 48 hours you get back their true state, actual blockers, and any deadline silently burning — no charge, no install, no sales call required to claim it. If we find nothing, you've lost nothing. If we find what we usually find, you'll know exactly why teams sign on.
