Who Uses the Elios Integration
New Solar Installer Needs a Full-Coverage Lender
A solar company in its first full year of operation chooses Elios because the program is designed to cover all standard residential solar equipment categories — not just panels — so proposals don't require separate line items for financed and cash components. SubcontractorHub surfaces Elios on every solar proposal by default.
Sales Rep Closes System Upgrades Mid-Project
A customer initially quoted a 7 kW system decides mid-project to upgrade to a 10 kW system with microinverters. The rep uses SubcontractorHub to update the project scope and resubmit to Elios for an increased loan amount. Elios processes the modification and the updated approval comes back to the job record.
Project Manager Monitors Milestone-Based Funding
For 20 active Elios-financed solar projects, the project manager uses SubcontractorHub's job board to see which jobs are at each funding milestone — permit pulled, installation complete, inspection passed. The view replaces a manual funding tracker spreadsheet.
Office Team Identifies Stalled Document Signatures
An office coordinator runs a daily SubcontractorHub filter for 'Elios — Awaiting Signature' and calls each homeowner to prompt completion. The follow-up routine reduces the average time from application approval to signed loan documents from 4.2 days to 1.8 days.
Common Questions About the Elios Integration
What solar project components does Elios finance?
Elios is designed to cover comprehensive solar project costs — PV panels, inverters (string and microinverter), racking and mounting systems, electrical balance-of-system components, and installation labor. This full-scope coverage means contractors don't need to split project costs across multiple financing products.
What are Elios's typical loan terms?
Elios offers solar loan terms typically from 10 to 25 years with rates structured to balance contractor dealer fees against homeowner affordability. Your specific product access and rate schedule are defined in your dealer agreement.
How does Elios handle loan modifications if the project scope changes?
Elios supports loan amount modifications for qualifying project changes (scope additions) through their dealer portal. Minor increases can often be processed without a new credit application if the customer's original approval limit covers the new amount. Significant scope changes may require a new application.
What is the typical timeline from application to contractor funding?
Elios's end-to-end timeline — from credit application approval to contractor funding — typically runs 3–6 weeks depending on how quickly the customer signs, the permit is issued, installation is completed, and the final inspection is passed. Contractor payment after the final milestone is typically 2–3 business days.
Does Elios require the contractor to carry a minimum insurance level?
Yes — Elios's dealer program requires contractors to maintain at minimum $1 million per occurrence general liability coverage and workers' compensation insurance where legally required. Specific requirements are outlined in the dealer enrollment and are verified annually.
