The solar quoting reality

Quoting solar is different. Generic SaaS doesn't get it.

AHJ fees buried in your margin

Generic quote tools don't separate permit and interconnection fees as pass-throughs. You eat the cost or do invoice gymnastics.

25-year warranty wording

Linear performance on panels, separate workmanship warranty on roof penetrations. One wrong sentence and you're on the hook for a manufacturer defect.

Cash flow tied to PTO

25 / 50 / 25 schedule (signing / delivery / PTO) is the industry standard. Most quote tools don't model milestone draws and leave you chasing payments.

What ZeroFi gives you on day one

Solar lexicon. Solar defaults. Solar workflow.

Default scope exclusions

✕Utility interconnection fees and AHJ permit fees (pass-through at cost)
✕Main service panel upgrades unless itemized
✕Tree trimming, structural roof repair, asbestos abatement
✕Production guarantees beyond manufacturer performance
✕R&R for future roof work — quoted separately

Default payment terms

25% deposit on proposal acceptance. 50% on equipment delivery. 25% on Permission To Operate from the utility. Net 30 on the final invoice. Valid 30 days, assumes current incentive eligibility.

Edit any of this per quote. ZeroFi remembers your overrides for next time.

Default warranty wording

We warrant workmanship and roof penetrations for 10 years. Panel and inverter manufacturer warranties pass through (typically 25-year linear performance, 12-year product). Battery and monitoring warranties are per the manufacturer. Damage from extreme weather, modifications by other trades, or animal intrusion is not covered.

Same product, solar-shaped

Three things ZeroFi does that solar quote tools don't.

AI Insights with solar lens

"3 systems awaiting PTO for 21+ days." "Residential jobs converting 2× commercial." Recommendations, not just dashboards.

Milestone draws via Stripe

25/50/25 invoices auto-issue at each milestone. Client pays in the portal. No chasing checks across a 60-day install cycle.

"The PTO-tied payment schedule alone is worth the subscription. We stopped chasing the final 25% on every job."
