AI for Solar BusinessesAI that drafts proposals, prepares the network paperwork and chases payments your way, so your nights stop going on admin.
AI for solar businesses means agents that handle the office work the way you would: drafting proposals, preparing network applications and rebate paperwork, updating customers while approvals sit, and chasing final payments, all with your prices, wording and rules. This page is for owners of solar and battery installation businesses who want the admin done so their people stay on customers and the crew.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Solar Business?
Proposals written after a full day on the roof
Most solar business owners spend the evening turning site assessments into designs and proposals, then the network application, then the rebate paperwork from last week's installs. The customer who asked for a quote in the morning gets it near midnight, often after a competitor has already called back.
Final invoices wait while the paperwork piles up
The system is commissioned and the customer is happy, but the final invoice, the compliance certificates and the handover pack wait until the owner has time. Payments arrive late, rebate claims sit unlodged, and the business funds the panels, inverters and batteries in the meantime.
Generic AI tools guess at system sizes and rebates
The owner tries a general AI chat tool for a proposal, and it guesses at system sizes, invents rebate amounts and ignores the export limit on the street. It does not know the brands the business installs, its pricing or its warranty terms, so every draft needs rewriting from scratch.
Every night spent on proposals and paperwork is a slower reply to the next enquiry, and in solar the slower reply usually loses the job.
Data First Coaching
AI for Solar Businesses, Built on Your Own Data.
Data First Coaching starts from your own job and finance data. On that data you build the systems, software and business apps your solar business actually needs, shaped around how your jobs run and how your customers buy, and AI agents take the office work. Greg Allan works it through with you.
How most coaching works
Most coaching for solar installers starts with the owner explaining the business.
- The first hours go on the owner describing the solar business to a coach: the jobs, the crew, the customers, the money.
- The picture is out of date within weeks, because the numbers move every week.
- So the advice treats what the owner happened to notice, which is usually a symptom.
- Too often it comes from someone who has never run a solar business, or any trade business at all.
- The owner pays for the explaining, then pays again when the advice does not fit.
Data First Coaching
Data first starts from your solar business's numbers, not your memory.
- The Trade Business Intelligence Agent reads your job management and finance systems first.
- It sees your quotes, jobs, time on site and money as they are this week, the way solar installers actually make and lose it.
- It finds where the problem actually starts, not where it shows up.
- You put in the system that fixes it at the root, and the data shows whether it worked.
Which of these is the root cause in your solar business?
- Proposals written after a full day on the roof
- Final invoices wait while the paperwork piles up
- Generic AI tools guess at system sizes and rebates
Usually one of them is causing the others. Data first means your own numbers answer that before anybody guesses, so the fix goes where the problem starts.
| Rented software | Built on your own data | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Every trade at once | How your jobs actually run |
| Your data | Lives in somebody else's system | Yours, and it answers your questions |
| The cost | A subscription per seat, every month | What you build, kept as long as it earns its place |
| When it does not fit | Work around it, or wait for an update | Change it, because you built it |
| The office work | Still lands on you or an office wage | AI agents do it your way, people stay on customers |
| Where you start | A sales demo | Your own numbers, read by the Trade Business Intelligence Agent |
Fix the root cause, once
The data names the real problem, so the system you put in fixes it once instead of patching the same symptom every month.

A more human business
Agents do the non-billable work: the quoting, invoicing, chasing and reporting. Your people spend the day on customers and the crew, so relationships get better and the team performs.
AI for your trade
Here Is What We Do About It.
Greg Allan's Data First Coaching starts with the Trade Business Intelligence Agent reading your job management and finance data, so the agents you build work from your real pricing, brands, warranty terms and paperwork. With Greg and the group you build agents that draft proposals, update customers while approvals sit and chase final payments your way. AI Club runs weekly workshops on it, and the free Tradies App is the place to start.

How it works
Three Steps, Starting Tonight.
Find where the problem starts
Your own data shows which job keeps going wrong and where. Not a guess, and not a list of AI tools to subscribe to.
Put an agent just before it
The agent asks for what is missing before the job can move on, with your prices, wording and rules, so it is right first time.
Keep people on the human work
The agents take the quoting, invoicing, chasing and reporting. You and the crew spend the day on customers and the work.
Why Greg
You speak to the owner who has already done it.
Greg built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with 1,950+ five-star reviews. A general manager runs it.
He has trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.
He grew a coaching company to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches, then cut it back so every owner deals with him directly.
Most coaching companies hand you to a salesperson, then to a coach who has never run a trade business. Here you get the owner.
What changes for you
The old way. The new way.
More customers meant more people doing the computer work, and more wages nobody invoices.
You stay with your customers and your team. The office stops landing on you.
The old way
More jobs. More paperwork. Less of the owner left.
Most trade businesses grow the same way.
More jobs means more quoting, invoicing, chasing and scheduling.
None of it gets paid for.
So the owner does it at night, after a full day on site.
Or hires an office person to do it.
The office grows. The wages grow. The margin does not.
And the owner is still the one everything waits on.
Where we take you
More work. More profit. More of you left.
The phone rings with the jobs you want, at the price you set.
You grow when you're ready, never faster than the business can carry.
Every job is priced to make money, so the busy months show up in the bank.
The best tradies in your area want to work for you, and they stay.
The chasing, the paperwork and the 9pm admin stop landing on you.
The business runs the day. You pick which parts of it you're in.
Bigger, without the headaches. Getting bigger stops meaning getting busier.
