Design and quote solar in one place with Glow

New·

Build the quote from your solar design and show the customer their expected savings. Glow lets you design the system inside the Payaca project you're already quoting, with your chosen panels, inverter and batteries added to the estimate.

We're opening Glow to a small group of US solar businesses first.

Show customers their expected savings

Run PVWatts on the design and Glow estimates annual production from weather data for the site. Compare a flat export payment with a monthly kWh credit bank over the next 12 months. You can compare estimated energy costs and see how unused kWh credits carry into later months. Set the assumptions from the customer's utility tariff.

Wiring checked before install day

Auto-string groups the panels into strings, connects them to your inverters and labels them on the roof. Where the equipment ratings are known, Glow checks voltage and current against the inverter's limits. It also draws the single-line diagram so your crew can review the connections before they arrive.

Batteries priced straight into the quote

Pick how many batteries the customer needs and Glow adds the usable capacity and cost to the estimate.

More control over panel layouts

Swap the panel product or add an obstacle and your panels stay in place. Use Repack for a new layout or Undo to step back through edits. Set spacing and setbacks in inches.

On plans with Agent Dave, you can also ask him to choose equipment, connect panel strings, run PVWatts and create a draft estimate. He can update the monthly credit scenario too. Review the design in Glow as you go.
