From Signed Contract to PTO — Every Milestone Tracked

Proposal to project instantly

When a homeowner signs a solar proposal, SubcontractorHub automatically creates a monitored installation project with all system specs, financing status, and customer details pre-loaded — no re-entry.

Permit and inspection tracking

Track permit submission, approval, installation, utility inspection, and interconnection as discrete stages in the project. Managers see exactly where every job stands without calling the field team.

Field milestone updates

Crews update milestones from the field app. Install complete, inspection passed, PTO received — all flow back to the office in real time so ops always has an accurate project status board.

Financing status in every project

LightReach, Sungage, GoodLeap, and Arcadia financing approval status tracks alongside the installation milestones — so ops knows which projects can proceed before dispatching a crew.

Every Solar Installation Stage in One View

A residential solar installation involves a dozen sequential steps, multiple parties, and weeks between milestones. Most solar contractors track this in spreadsheets, group texts, and email chains — which means things slip.

SubcontractorHub's solar platform gives every project a structured milestone board tracking:

  • ✓Site survey completed
  • ✓System design approved
  • ✓Permit submitted and approved
  • ✓HOA approval (if required)
  • ✓Equipment delivered
  • ✓Installation scheduled and completed
  • ✓Inspection scheduled and passed
  • ✓Net metering application submitted
  • ✓Interconnection agreement signed
  • ✓PTO issued

Financing Status Tracks With Every Project

Solar financing — LightReach, Sungage, GoodLeap, Arcadia — adds complexity to installation scheduling. Crews shouldn't go to a job where financing hasn't been confirmed. Customer funds shouldn't be released before PTO.

SubcontractorHub tracks financing approval status alongside every installation milestone — so your ops team sees exactly which projects are ready to dispatch and which are waiting on a financing milestone. No separate phone calls to the sales team. Explore how contractor financing works inside the platform, or see the solar contractor software overview.

Common Questions

What is solar monitoring software for contractors?

Solar monitoring software for contractors tracks the full installation lifecycle — design, permitting, installation, inspection, interconnection, and PTO. This is distinct from homeowner-facing solar performance monitoring (which tracks panel output after the system is live). Contractor monitoring focuses on project milestone tracking, crew scheduling, permit status, and financing confirmation.

What solar installation milestones should contractors track?

Site survey, system design approval, permit submission and approval, HOA approval, equipment delivery, installation, inspection, net metering application, interconnection agreement, and PTO. SubcontractorHub tracks all of these automatically — milestone updates flow from the field so managers always know where every project stands.

How does SubcontractorHub connect solar proposals to installation monitoring?

When a homeowner signs a solar proposal in SubcontractorHub, it automatically creates a monitored installation project with all system specs and financing status pre-loaded. No re-entry. Every milestone update flows back from the field in real time, and customers receive automated status notifications at key stages.

Does SubcontractorHub handle solar financing and installation tracking together?

Yes. LightReach, Sungage, GoodLeap, and Arcadia are embedded directly inside the solar proposal and track alongside installation milestones. Your ops team sees which projects have confirmed financing before dispatching crews — without calling the sales team.

What is PTO in solar and how do contractors track it?

PTO (Permission to Operate) is the final step — when the utility authorizes the homeowner to turn on their solar system. SubcontractorHub tracks PTO as a final milestone in the installation project, so contractors know exactly which projects are awaiting utility authorization and which are fully complete.
