SOLAR PLANNING WORKSPACE

Solar proposals from one shared project record

Powerblock keeps site intake, technical models, and proposals in one shared record. Structural checks against Eurocode.

THE PROBLEM

Solar projects shouldn't fall apart between teams

When quotes, engineering models, and materials lists live in separate files, even a small change can create costly inconsistencies.

  • Roof model36 modules
  • BOM.csv34 modules

Three files. Different numbers. More manual checking.

Consistent project information, from design to deliverables.

HANDOFF

Before

Sales builds a quote from memory. Engineering rebuilds context from scratch. Every project starts with a translation layer.

With Powerblock

One shared project record. Sales fills intake, engineers see the same record: no reconstruction, no signal loss.

COMPLIANCE

Before

Code violations are discovered at final review, triggering redesigns, delays, and back-and-forth across teams.

With Powerblock

Structural and electrical checks run in real time during design. Violations appear during modeling, before anyone signs off.

SYNCHRONISATION

Before

Updating a component requires manually re-syncing the BOM, cost model, production file, and client proposal separately.

With Powerblock

One change updates the BOM, pricing model, and offer output automatically. The record stays consistent without manual work.

HOW IT WORKS

From intake to offer in one record

Move from site details to a client proposal through one clear engineering sequence.

  1. 01

    Site intake

    Capture roof geometry, site constraints, and client requirements in a structured form, not a freeform spreadsheet.

  2. 02

    Technical modelling

    Define system size, component selection, and layout while keeping each decision with the design.

  3. 03

    Compliance check

    Automatic checks flag structural load and electrical compliance issues before they reach engineering review.

  4. 04

    Offer generation

    Export a structured client proposal from the approved engineering state. One action, zero reconstruction.

OUTPUTS

One project, four connected outputs

Prepare materials lists, compliance reports, client proposals, and project summaries from the same engineering information.

Bill of materials

A component and equipment list aligned with the current project design.

CSV

Compliance report

A structured summary of structural and electrical validation results.

PDF

Client proposal

A professional offer prepared from the approved engineering state.

Branded PDF

Project summary

A shareable overview of key project information and decisions.

FAQ

Questions before you sign up

Solar installation companies where sales and engineering work on the same projects. Sales captures the site, engineers model and check it, and the client proposal comes from the same record.

Structural checks run against Eurocode, including EN 1991-1-4. Electrical checks run alongside them while you model, so issues show up before engineering review.

Everything in the workflow, with limits on projects and seats. The free plan section above has the details.

A bill of materials as CSV, a compliance report as PDF, a branded client proposal as PDF, and a project summary as PDF or share link.

Yes. Everyone works in one project record with roles for owner, admin, editor, and viewer, and a full event log per project.

On servers within the European Union. You can export or delete your data at any time.
