SolarRunbook
A shared installer and homeowner workspace that tracks proposal, permitting, materials, inspection, interconnection and incentive steps while preserving each external authority's actual status.
The supplied research validates severe tool fragmentation, public or accessible integration surfaces and established solar software budgets. It finds specialized design, sales and permit products but no confirmed product combining permit progress, interconnection queues and a homeowner view at the stated scope. SolarRunbook can win as an orchestration and evidence layer, not as the authority that issues a permit, passes an inspection, connects a system or determines an incentive.
The owner, operations director, project leader, or customer-experience lead at a residential solar installer handling high-complexity projects.
A reusable adapter and runbook library scales, though each authority's changing process creates maintenance work.
Customers want a single status while legal authority remains distributed across jurisdictions, inspectors, utilities and incentive administrators.
Fragmented portals explain the historical difficulty without proving that a barrier recently disappeared.
The workflow is concrete, fragmentation is validated and jurisdiction-specific adapters can compound into a useful operational library.
Buyer detail and timing proof are thin, jurisdiction coverage is service-heavy and incumbent solar platforms can expand into orchestration.
