TL;DR
Most installers take days to produce a solar proposal. RoofManager cuts it to under one hour by integrating roof measurement, design, and proposal generation.
The solar sales process has a dirty secret: most installers take 2–5 days to turn a roof measurement into a professional proposal. During that time, homeowners are calling your competitors. At www.roofmanager.ca, we've cut that timeline to under one hour by integrating roof measurement report, solar design building software, and proposal generation into a single workflow.
Here's how it works. A lead comes in. You enter their address into RoofManager. Our system instantly pulls an accurate roof measurement report with pitch, azimuth, and usable area. With one click, you open the solar design building software, which auto-populates those dimensions. Drag and drop panels, add optimizers or microinverters, and run shade analysis. Click "Generate Proposal." The result is a branded, financing-ready PDF with system size, production estimate, equipment list, pricing, and a 3D rendering of panels on their roof.
All of this happens without re-typing a single number. That means zero transcription errors and no back-and-forth with a separate design team.
Canadian solar companies love our proposal customization. You can offer cash, loan, or PPA options side-by-side. Include provincial incentive calculations (like the Canada Greener Homes Loan) automatically. Add a "why choose us" section with your license numbers and insurance certificates. Every proposal is stored inside the solar CRM for easy retrieval.
But speed alone doesn't close deals—trust does. A proposal that includes a roof measurement report showing exactly where panels will go builds instant credibility. Homeowners see that you've done the homework. Our solar design building software also includes energy savings projections based on local utility rates (Hydro One, BC Hydro, ENMAX, etc.), so customers understand their payback period.
The final piece: e-signature integration. Clients can sign directly on the proposal PDF. Once signed, RoofManager automatically creates installation tasks, orders equipment, and schedules the site visit. No manual handoffs.
