Yep, you'd be amazed at how much solar work is still done in Excel and on pen and paper.


I imagine most contractors for all forms of construction are still working on paper or in spreadsheets. What makes solar so different that some organizational software will slash consumer prices? I guess from a sales, customer acquisition, permitting point of view at least.

I guess if we are talking advanced mathematics to pick out optimal installation patterns and angles (for fixed position panels), maybe this is where the software would be useful.
