About SolarDesignTool
Create a preliminary design by specifying the module and inverter configuration and the layout. Upgrade the design to a permit-ready design by completing a quick 4-step wizard. Define the installation site using aerial imagery or an imported 3D model from EagleView or RoofOrders. With SolarDesignTool, you can create a PV system design and generate a solar permit package in as little as 15 minutes. A permit package includes the following pages: project summary, site plan, single-line diagram, PV safety labels, attachment plan(s), attachment details for supported racking systems, fire safety plan, equipment datasheets, and certifications. After completing a PV system design, generating a solar permit package is as simple as clicking a single button. A PV permit package for a typical residential sloped rooftop using a popular racking system will include all of the pages listed above.

Glint Solar
Glint Solar is a cloud-based platform for early-stage utility-scale solar project site analysis, design, and development that helps developers and multidisciplinary teams screen, prioritize, and assess thousands of potential solar locations with integrated GIS and topographic data, satellite imagery, engineering-approved yield and feasibility tools, and 3D visualizations so they can evaluate buildable areas, mark exclusion zones, grid connections, and generate professional visuals that support permitting, stakeholder engagement, and internal decisions; it centralizes project data in a shared workspace to improve team collaboration between business development, GIS, and engineering, reduces wasted development hours on unviable sites, and accelerates project pipelines by enabling quick scenario updates and accurate reporting without relying on disparate tools or manual processes.

Powerlily
Powerlily is a solar operating system that brings design, proposals, CRM, permitting, field operations, invoicing, and fleet monitoring into one connected platform. It carries a customer from first contact through design, sale, installation, and long-term service without rebuilding the same project across separate tools. Teams can capture and qualify leads, preserve attribution, manage solar-native pipelines, and automate follow-up based on real events. Live 3D design supports roof, ground, carport, and commercial arrays with stringing, setbacks, shading, and 8,760-hour per-panel production simulation, while battery analysis connects usage, tariffs, incentives, and financing to hour-by-hour storage behavior and long-term value. Powerlily can generate editable single-line diagrams, coordinated permit-ready plan sets, branded proposals, e-signatures, invoices, and field schedules from the same project record.
