Solar Estimating Built for Field Sales — Not the Engineering Team
AI-assisted cost calc
System size, panel count, inverter, labor, and permits calculated automatically from a pre-built catalog — so reps generate an accurate estimate in minutes, not hours.
Incentive & savings modeling
30% ITC, state incentives, net metering credits, and estimated monthly savings calculated into every proposal so homeowners see the full value picture — not just the sticker price.
Embedded financing
LightReach, Sungage, GoodLeap, and Arcadia financing built directly into the estimate. Reps present loan payments, lease options, and PPA comparisons on-site so affordability is part of the close.
Auto project creation
Signed estimate auto-creates a solar installation project tracking site survey, design, permit, installation, inspection, and PTO — with all specs pre-loaded and zero re-entry.
Stop Emailing Estimates. Start Closing at the Door.
When your reps promise to "email something over," they hand a warm homeowner to every solar company they're going to call next. Solar jobs close on the first visit — when the rep is standing in front of the homeowner with a clear price, a monthly payment option, and a simple way to say yes.
SubcontractorHub's EasyQuote module builds accurate solar estimates on a tablet in minutes — AI-assisted calculations, good-better-best system tiers, and embedded solar financing options side by side. Homeowners see the net cost after the 30% ITC, their estimated monthly savings, and three payment options before the rep finishes presenting. The close happens at the table, not in a follow-up email.

Signed Estimate → Full Installation Project. Automatic.
The gap between a signed solar contract and a scheduled installation is where projects stall and customers get frustrated. Equipment specs get re-entered. Financing status gets lost in email. The permit coordinator doesn't know the job closed until ops tracks down the sales rep.
With SubcontractorHub, a signed solar estimate auto-creates a full installation project in the solar project management module — system specs, customer info, financing approval status, and job address pre-loaded. The project tracks every stage from site survey through design, permit, crew dispatch, final inspection, and PTO. Ops sees the job the moment it closes. No re-entry, no dropped handoffs, no delayed installations — managed by the full solar contractor platform.
Book a DemoSubcontractorHub solar estimating is the right fit if:
This platform is built for solar installation companies running D2D or field sales who need to build accurate estimates, close with financing on-site, and hand off signed jobs to operations automatically — without a separate estimating tool that creates another data silo.
Talk to the TeamYour reps email estimates after the appointment — and lose deals while homeowners shop other solar companies
You want to present good-better-best system tiers with monthly loan payments and ITC savings on a tablet at the homeowner's kitchen table
Financing is a close-killer — homeowners stall because they can't see monthly payment options until a separate follow-up
Signed solar contracts require manual re-entry into a scheduling or project management system — creating handoff delays and missed specs
You need estimating connected to a CRM, permit tracking, and installation project management — not a standalone quoting tool
You work with GoodLeap, LightReach, Sungage, or Arcadia and need financing embedded in the estimate — not a separate portal
Common Questions About Solar Estimating Software
What is solar estimating software?
Solar estimating software calculates accurate solar system costs — factoring in system size, equipment, labor, permits, incentives, and financing — and presents a professional proposal to homeowners on-site. The best tools connect the estimate directly to a signed proposal and auto-create the installation project when the customer commits.
How is solar estimating different from solar proposal software?
Solar estimating focuses on calculating system cost — panel count, inverter selection, labor, permits, and incentives like the 30% ITC. Solar proposal software presents those numbers in a branded, customer-facing format with financing options. SubcontractorHub combines both in EasyQuote.
Does solar estimating software embed financing?
Yes — SubcontractorHub integrates LightReach, Sungage, GoodLeap, and Arcadia financing inside the solar estimate. Reps present monthly loan payments, lease options, and PPA comparisons alongside system cost so homeowners can evaluate affordability on the spot.
What solar incentives does the software factor in?
SubcontractorHub's solar estimating calculates the 30% federal ITC, state incentives, net metering credits, and estimated monthly electricity savings — so homeowners see net cost and payback period in the proposal, not just the gross system price.
Does solar estimating software connect to installation project management?
In SubcontractorHub, when a homeowner signs a solar proposal, an installation project auto-creates with all estimate details pre-loaded — system specs, customer info, financing status, and job address. The project tracks every stage from site survey through design, permit, installation, inspection, and PTO. No re-entry between sales and operations.
