Solo, a leading home energy proposal management platform, has unveiled Solo Studio, a new self-serve design solution aimed at empowering contractors in the solar and home energy sector. The platform allows professionals to take full control of the proposal creation process, spanning solar, battery storage, roofing, HVAC, and other home energy solutions. The launch represents a pivotal step in enhancing how contractors design, price, and close deals across multiple home energy verticals.
Empowering Contractors Through Self-Serve Design
Solo Studio integrates Solo’s established proposal engine with an intuitive in-house design suite, financing marketplace, and compliance tools. Contractors can now create finance-ready proposals on their own schedule without compromising on accuracy or trust, a hallmark of the Solo platform. According to Tom O’Keefe, CEO of Solo, the platform was developed in direct response to customer feedback seeking greater control over their workflows.
Whether serving large EPCs that manage hundreds of designs per week or smaller teams aiming to cut costs and turnaround time, Solo Studio provides a flexible, connected experience. The platform ensures that every proposal remains aligned with Solo’s financing and compliance ecosystem, streamlining the sales process. By putting contractors in the driver’s seat, Solo Studio aims to enhance both efficiency and client confidence.
Expanding Into Adjacent Home Energy Markets
Solo’s latest release coincides with expanded platform capabilities that position the company as a unified sales enablement layer for the broader home energy market. Contractors can now bundle proposals for solar, battery storage, roofing, HVAC, and energy efficiency upgrades within a single workflow. Vertical-specific templates, including dedicated Battery, Roofing, and HVAC templates scheduled to launch in the coming months, allow teams to capture revenue across multiple service lines without relying on separate tools.
Tim Price, Chief Revenue Officer at Solo, highlighted the market trend toward convergence. He noted that homeowners increasingly prefer a single conversation covering solar, backup power, and efficiency upgrades. Solo’s platform equips contractors to meet this demand with accurate designs and financing options that span diverse product categories.
Enhanced Financing Integrations
Solo has strengthened its Marketplace, an integrated financing hub, to offer faster and more flexible financial solutions. New lender partners can onboard in weeks instead of months, enabling contractors to access loans, leases, and PPA options more quickly. The platform continues to provide real-time credit checks and side-by-side payment comparisons, allowing sales teams to close deals on the spot with financing approvals already in place.
U.S. Patents Validate Technological Leadership
The company recently secured two U.S. patents for its proposal technology, reflecting years of innovation in automated, accurate, and intuitive sales solutions. Patent US 12,353,803 B2 covers systems that use 3D point cloud data to analyze rooftops, simulate sun exposure, and generate interactive solar proposals. Patent US 12,412,005 B2 focuses on creating precise 3D site models through neural network analysis, enabling detailed and reliable project representations.
These patents underscore Solo’s commitment to equipping contractors with advanced tools that provide a competitive edge in proposal accuracy and efficiency. By continuously innovating, Solo seeks to streamline the sales process while maintaining high-quality project outcomes.
