Solar Business SoftwareSoftware built around your installs, your stock and your network paperwork, instead of a CRM rented for every trade.
Solar business software usually means a design tool, a CRM, a job management system and a stack of network portals that never talk to each other. This page is for owners of solar and battery installation businesses who want to build their own software on their own data, shaped around how a lead becomes a signed proposal, an approved connection and a commissioned system.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Solar Business?
Leads, designs and jobs spread across separate subscriptions
Most solar business owners pay monthly for a design tool, a CRM, job management and accounting, often per seat for installers who only need an address. The proposal sits in the design tool, the install date in the scheduler, and someone copies the same customer details between them every week.
The agency owns the website, the ads and the leads
Many solar business owners pay an agency or a lead platform for enquiries, then share those leads with competitors and never see the data behind them. If the arrangement ends, the website, the ad history and the list of past enquiries stay with the agency, and the business starts again from nothing.
Data trapped where the owner cannot ask it anything
The quotes, installs and callbacks sit inside someone else's system, and the standard reports count jobs instead of answering the owner's real questions: which lead source closes, what a battery job makes after variations, and which inverter brand keeps sending a van back out. Exporting the data to find out is slow or blocked.
Every month the business rents tools and leads built for somebody else, the owner pays more for each job won and still cannot see which installs make money.
Data First Coaching
Solar Business Software, 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- The picture is out of date within weeks, because the numbers move every week.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?
- Leads, designs and jobs spread across separate subscriptions
- The agency owns the website, the ads and the leads
- Data trapped where the owner cannot ask it anything
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.
Own your software
Build your own tools on your own data, shaped around how your jobs run and how your customers buy. Cancel the subscriptions and agencies that were never built for your business.
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.
Business software, built by you
Here Is What We Do About It.
With Greg Allan's Data First Coaching, the Trade Business Intelligence Agent reads your job management and finance data first, so you can see what each lead source, system size and battery job actually returns. Then you build your own software with Greg and the group: a proposal flow, an install board and a callback register that fit how you work. Start on the free Tradies App while you wait.

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.
