Diagnose
The bottleneck was the paperwork, not the sales
BrightWatt sells commercial solar to businesses, nonprofits, farms, and public agencies. Every opportunity meant collecting bills, modeling savings, designing a system, and packaging it all for the customer and their lender.
That work, not finding customers, set the pace of the business.
Build
From intake form to signed proposal
Here is the path a BrightWatt lead takes now. The person only touches three steps; the system does the rest.
- 1
Set up the bid
A rep or referral partner picks the project type and location. That answer decides which utilities, rates, and data the proposal will need.
- 2
Get an instant estimate
An address and one usage number produce a system size, production, and savings range on the page, right away. A live meter shows what the data supports and what would unlock more.
- 3
Upgrade as the data arrives
Add the rate schedule and 12 months of usage for a shareable Preliminary Proposal, or interval data for a bank-ready Full Proposal. Nothing is wasted; every level builds on the last.
- 4
The system builds it
Behind the scenes: bill parsing, rate lookup, the Energy Toolbase financial model, system design, and incentives. No one retypes a number.
- 5
A BrightWatt-branded proposal goes out
The customer gets an interactive web proposal in BrightWatt's brand: the headline savings up front, then production, cash flow, pricing, and financing.
- 6
Accepted online, straight into the CRM
The customer accepts from any device, and the opportunity lands in BrightWatt's Zoho CRM so the sales team works from one place.
Steps 5 and 6 show BrightWatt's real proposal branding on a sample customer; no client data is shown.
Beyond proposals
Engineering and bid support
- Single-line diagrams and equipment selection for multi-site portfolios
- Bills of materials and supplier quote requests
- Bid packages, including a public-agency RFP response
- A rep workspace for managing bids across the pipeline
Run it
The fix became a product
The proposal system we built for BrightWatt became WattFoundry, a platform we run and any installer can use. BrightWatt gets new features as the platform improves, without paying to build them alone.
