Which projects are stuck, and on what?
Four. SP-1038 has waited 12 days for the utility inspection with no update — worth a follow-up through the portal. SP-1051 is waiting on the inverter due on 6 November. Two C&I projects need a structural sign-off before design can close. The project manager can see each blocker on its project.

01Where solar companies lose time

The panels are on the roof. The paperwork is still in an inbox.

A solar project crosses sales, engineering, the utility, procurement, installation and years of maintenance. Most companies run each step in a different tool — and the project manager spends the day finding out where things stand.

01

Survey data never makes it cleanly into the design

What happens

Surveyors take roof measurements, photos, shading notes and the DB location on paper or a phone gallery; designers re-ask half of it by WhatsApp.

What it costs

Designs are redone, proposals go out late, and installation finds surprises the survey should have caught.

With one system

Surveys are captured on a mobile form with measurements, photos, roof type, shading and electrical details, attached to the lead and handed straight to design.

02

Proposals are rebuilt in a spreadsheet for every customer

What happens

System size, panel and inverter choice, pricing, estimated generation and payment terms are pulled together by hand into a PDF.

What it costs

Quotes vary by salesperson, margins slip, and revisions are hard to trace when the customer asks for a different option.

With one system

Proposals are built from the design and your price book with margin rules, options side by side and every revision kept — generation estimates labelled clearly as estimates.

03

Utility approval steps are tracked from memory

What happens

Applications, NOCs, drawings, inspections and meter changes with the utility are followed through email and a project manager's list.

What it costs

Projects sit installed but not connected, customers chase, and nobody can say which step each project is waiting on.

With one system

Every project tracks each approval step with status, documents, dates and owner. Documents are prepared in the system; submissions stay on the utility's own portal.

04

Installation crews and stock don't line up

What happens

Crews are booked on a calendar while panels, inverters, mounting and cable are checked in the warehouse by phone the day before.

What it costs

Crews arrive without the right mounting kit, jobs stretch over extra days, and stock is double-promised across projects.

With one system

Installations are scheduled by crew, skill and site, with materials reserved per project from the bill of materials, so the crew and the kit arrive together.

05

After handover, systems are forgotten until they fail

What happens

O&M visits, panel cleaning and inverter checks are planned on a spreadsheet; performance is checked only when the customer complains.

What it costs

Underperforming systems go unnoticed, contracted cleans are missed and renewals are lost.

With one system

Each commissioned system has an O&M plan, cleaning schedule and warranty record, with monitoring data brought in where the inverter platform allows it and alerts routed to the service team.

06

Management can't see the pipeline in kilowatts

What happens

Leads, signed contracts, installed capacity and cash collected by milestone sit in different reports.

What it costs

Hiring, procurement and cash planning are done on gut feel, and slow projects aren't spotted until month end.

With one system

A live view of pipeline, contracted and installed kWp, projects by stage, milestone billing and O&M revenue.

03Solutions

The parts of a solar company system — chosen for your company.

  • Every enquiry qualified and followed up

    Leads & enquiries

    Leads from the website, WhatsApp, referrals and partners land in one pipeline with consumption data, bills, roof type and segment, assigned and followed up on a timer.

    • Bill and consumption capture
    • Residential and C&I pipelines
    • Source and partner tracking
    • Follow-up timers

Not every solar company needs every module. We scope the ones your operation actually uses, and add the rest when you need them.

04AI inside the system

AI that moves solar projects forward.

AI in your solar system works on its own records — leads, surveys, designs, approvals, stock, crews and monitoring data. It reads, drafts and flags; your engineers and managers decide.

AI here supports sales, project and service administration. It doesn't produce engineering designs, sign off electrical safety, approve connections or promise generation and savings — those stay with your qualified engineers and the utility. Proposals, customer messages and purchases are sent only after someone approves them.

  1. 01

    Bill and lead reading

    Sales review
    A homeowner uploads three electricity bills and a roof photo.

    The assistant reads consumption and tariff details from the bills, summarises the lead with what's known and what's missing, and drafts a reply offering survey slots for a salesperson to send.

  2. 02

    Survey to design handover

    Is the Arabian Ranches 3 survey complete enough for design?

    Checks the survey against your checklist — dimensions, orientation, shading, structure, DB and meter photos — and lists anything missing so the surveyor can fill it before the designer starts.

  3. 03

    Approval pack checks

    Project manager submits
    Prepare the approval documents for SP-1047.

    Assembles the documents your process requires from the project record, flags anything missing or out of date and leaves the pack ready for the project manager to review and submit on the utility's portal.

  4. 04

    Crew and stock planning

    Ops lead confirms
    Plan next week's installs against what's in the warehouse.

    Proposes a crew schedule by skill and site, checks each project's bill of materials against free stock, and lists shortages so purchasing can act before the crew is booked.

  5. 05

    Performance alerts

    Which O&M systems underperformed last month?

    Compares monitoring data with similar nearby systems and the system's own history, and lists the ones worth a check with a likely reason flagged as a hypothesis, not a diagnosis.

  6. 06

    Plain-language reporting

    How much capacity did we commission this quarter, and what's in the pipeline?

    Answers from your own project data in kWp and AED, with the projects behind each figure.

05A day with ORCHESTR

One solar company, two different Tuesdays.

  1. 07:00Crews already have the dayEach crew opens its site, drawings, materials list and access notes on the app before leaving the warehouse.
  2. 09:15Survey arrives completeThe survey is on the lead with photos, measurements and electrical details, checked against the checklist.
  3. 11:30Proposal from the price bookThe proposal is built from the design and current price book, with two options and margin checked before it goes out.
  4. 13:00Approval status on the projectThe project shows the inspection request date, waiting time and owner — the customer gets a clear answer.
  5. 15:30Shortage caught last weekThe bill of materials flagged the shortage when the install was scheduled, and purchasing ordered more in time.
  6. 18:00Pipeline and capacity, liveContracted and installed kWp, stuck projects and O&M alerts are on one screen.

An illustrative day — every system is designed around how your team actually works.

06Integrations

Works with the tools your projects already use.

07How we build your system

Built around your solar company — not a template.

  1. 01

    Understand your business

    We learn how the business actually runs — people, tools, hand-offs and where time is lost — before proposing anything.
  2. 02

    Map your workflows

    Every workflow is mapped end to end: who does what, when, with which information, and what should happen automatically.
  3. 03

    Design your system

    Screens, records, permissions and integrations are designed around those workflows, and the scope is agreed in writing.
  4. 04

    Build and integrate

    We build in stages and connect the tools you keep, so your team sees working software early and gives feedback as we go.
  5. 05

    Test and launch

    We test with real scenarios, migrate the agreed data, set up roles and access, and onboard the team.
  6. 06

    Support and improve

    After launch we support the system under an agreed arrangement and extend it as the business changes.

08Why it matters

What changes for a solar company.

We don't quote savings we haven't measured. In discovery we baseline how your team works today, so improvements can be tracked against your own numbers.

  • Proposals that are faster and consistent

    Every proposal comes from the design and the current price book, with margin rules applied whoever builds it.
  • No project stuck unseen

    Each project shows its stage, its blocker and who owns the next step.
  • Crews and kit that arrive together

    Materials are reserved against each project before crews are scheduled.
  • Customers who know where they stand

    Clear status from survey to connection, without chasing the project manager.
  • Systems looked after after handover

    O&M visits, cleaning and monitoring alerts are planned and tracked for every system.
  • Capacity and cash visible

    Pipeline, contracted and installed kWp and milestone billing in one view.

09Possible use cases

How different solar companies could use it.

Examples of what we could build — not completed client projects.

Residential installer

High volume, short projects

An installer handling dozens of villa systems a month runs leads, surveys, proposals, approvals and two residential crews from one pipeline, with a customer portal for updates.

FAQs

Solar company questions, answered.

Manufacturing & industrial

01Do you connect directly to DEWA or other utility portals?

No. Connection applications, NOCs and inspections are submitted through the utility's official channels by your team. The system tracks every step, prepares the document packs and alerts you when a project has been waiting too long.

02Does this replace our PV design software?

No. Your engineers keep designing in the tools they use. We bring the outputs — layouts, bills of materials and energy reports — into the project record, so proposals, procurement and installation all work from the same design.

03Can it pull data from our inverter monitoring platforms?

Where the manufacturer's platform offers an API, we can bring generation and alarm data into each system's record and route alerts to the service team. Platforms differ, so we confirm which brands in your fleet allow this during scoping.

04Will proposals show savings and payback?

They can show estimates you provide or that come from your design tool, clearly labelled as estimates with their assumptions. The system never presents generation or savings as certain, and the wording is agreed with you.

05Will the AI design systems or price them by itself?

No. AI reads bills and surveys, checks documents, drafts replies and suggests schedules and orders. Designs, prices, electrical sign-off and anything sent to a customer stay with your team.

06Can we track serial numbers and warranties?

Yes. Panel, inverter and battery serial numbers can be recorded at installation against each system, with warranty dates and claims tracked per component.

07We run on a CRM and spreadsheets today. Can you migrate us?

Usually, yes. We map leads, customers, projects, installed systems and O&M contracts from your CRM exports and spreadsheets, clean duplicates and agree with you what history to bring across before launch.

08Can it handle both residential and commercial projects?

Yes. Residential and C&I projects can have different pipelines, stages, approval steps and document templates, while sharing customers, stock, crews and reporting.

09How is a solar company system priced?

It's quoted after a discovery session, based on the modules, integrations, project volume and number of users. Hosting and support are agreed separately, in writing.
