Frequently asked questions

How does Payaca handle G99 applications for commercial solar?

Payaca connects to ENA Connect to submit G99 applications for systems over 16A per phase. You can track application status in real-time and link all grid connection documentation to the project.

Can Payaca manage milestone-based payment schedules?

Yes. You can set up percentage-based payment schedules tied to project milestones. For example, 20% on signing, 30% at G99 approval, 40% when the panels are installed and 10% at commissioning and handover. Invoices can be triggered as milestones complete.

How does change management work?

When project scope changes, you create a change proposal that tracks the revised costs, updated margins, and any impact on the payment schedule. Both your team and the client have a clear audit trail of what changed and why.

Can I present multiple system configurations to a client?

Yes. Multi-option proposals let you present different configurations (for example, a 100kW rooftop vs a 250kW system with battery storage) on a single proposal. Clients compare options side-by-side and accept digitally.

Does Payaca handle both commercial and residential solar?

Yes. You can configure separate pipelines for residential and commercial projects, each with their own stages, required fields, and document templates. Many installers use Payaca for both.

What about MCS documentation for commercial installations?

For systems under 50kW that fall within MCS certification, Payaca generates compliant documentation including handover packs, commissioning certificates, and customer declarations. Larger systems can use custom document templates.

How long does implementation take for a commercial solar business?

It depends on how much you're bringing across. Better Planet moved its sales and field work off Pipedrive and Commusoft in 6 weeks. A Scottish install business with 80 to 100 people went from signed to live in 5 weeks. Our onboarding team maps your workflow, moves your data across and trains the team.
