Solar PV, inverters & backup

Grid-tied and hybrid PV, inverters, batteries and backup systems — quoted, installed and maintained.

In depth

Solar PV, inverters & backup on VoltStack.

Solar and backup installs are equipment-heavy jobs with serial numbers that matter for years. VoltStack tracks the kit from receipt to roof, runs the install as a Job with a crew and dispatch day, and keeps the maintenance history against the site. Here is the lifecycle today.

The job lifecycle

From enquiry to sign-off.

What VoltStack does at each step today. Anything not yet built is listed separately under the roadmap — never here.

  1. 01

    Enquiry & site visit

    Included

    The enquiry lands on the pipeline; the site visit is a job on the dispatch board with the surveyor's notes and photos filed against the client.

  2. 02

    Quote

    Included

    Quote from assemblies — per panel, per inverter, per battery, per metre of DC cable — priced from your price book with markups, P&G, deposit and travel applied, and guarantee years stated.

  3. 03

    Procurement & stock

    Included

    Receive inverters, batteries and panels by scanning with the phone camera, with serials, and allocate them to the job so each serial is tied to the site it went to.

  4. 04

    Installation

    Included

    The install runs as a Job with a task plan, a crew on the dispatch board, hours and progress from the crew app, and the Field HSE file compiled for the site.

  5. 05

    Commissioning & sign-off

    Included

    File the commissioning and as-built documents against the job and issue the sign-off pack PDF with photos for the client to sign.

  6. 06

    Maintenance

    Included

    Cleaning and service visits and fault call-outs run against the client's maintenance contract with SLA timers and retainer hours.

Everything in VoltStack — included

No modules. No add-ons.

Every electrical workspace gets all of this on every user band. No VAT is charged.

  • Rate build-up quotingIncluded

    each work type is an assembly of materials, labour and sundries priced live from your own price book. Old quotes keep the price they were quoted at.

  • Commercial rules set onceIncluded

    markups per section, P&G, contingency, waste, access uplift, deposit %, quote validity, guarantee years and travel bands by crew size.

  • Printable quote document with status tracking (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Declined).Included
  • Serialised stockIncluded

    receive inverters, batteries and panels with serials, allocate them to a job, and see which serial went to which site.

  • CRM spineIncluded

    clients, sites, contacts and contracts, with monthly retainers where you have them. Every quote, job and timesheet hangs off the client.

  • Lead pipelineIncluded

    a Kanban board with your own stages, a hosted web enquiry form (or a form snippet for your site), duplicate matching and templated email follow-up. Quotes and POs move the card for you.

  • Jobs with an editable planIncluded

    tasks, assignees, hours and dates, a change log, and planned-vs-actual as the work lands.

  • Jobs & dispatchIncluded

    a weekly board by person or crew; drag a job onto a day to schedule and assign it, with a warning when someone is double-booked.

  • Crew appIncluded

    an installable phone app for the people on site: today's jobs, status, subtasks, hours, notes, navigate and call the client. It keeps working with no signal: today's work is held on the phone, what the crew records is queued, and it syncs by itself when signal returns.

  • Timesheets & daily updatesIncluded

    crews log hours and progress from a link, with Telegram bot binding for your team.

  • Call-outs & SLAIncluded

    log faults and maintenance against the client and contract, with response and resolution timers by priority, a pause while you wait on the client, and billable hours captured on the call-out to raise an invoice record.

  • Stock & assetsIncluded

    materials and consumables by quantity with reorder alerts and a movement log; receive and stocktake with the phone camera; serialised kit tracked to the job it went into; an asset register with custody history.

  • HSEIncluded

    a South African catalogue of certificates, medicals and appointment letters tracked to expiry, plus a client-ready Field HSE file compiled per project as a PDF.

  • Documents & exportsIncluded

    typed files against each job (PO, quote, photos, as-builts, snags…), a sign-off pack PDF with handover checklist and photos, and branded Excel/PDF exports.

  • TrainingIncluded

    your own SOPs as scheduled tests, hand-written or AI-drafted, with per-question results so you see what the team keeps getting wrong.

  • Business dashboardIncluded

    won value against real cost and overheads, margin by client, SLA and retainer strips, a health score graded A–D, and an AI business review in plain language.

  • Your brandIncluded

  • Your wordsSet up for you

    Jobs, Call-outs and module names read the way your trade talks, configured at onboarding.

    pipeline stages, contract types and HSE file indexes set up for how you sell and deliver.
