Blaze (Blaze Solar) , is a cloud-based, comprehensive solar software suite that serves as a one-stop solution for solar sales teams, EPCs, and homeowners. It integrates four key modules, delivering an end-to-end solution that streamlines every aspect of the solar process. At the forefront is the Door Knocking App for sales representatives, designed to enhance lead generation and door-to-door solar sales efforts. Sales representatives can efficiently track interactions, manage appointments, and follow up with prospects directly from the mobile app, available on both Android and iOS.
Additionally, Blaze features a Customer Monitoring App that empowers solar customers to monitor their energy production, usage, and financial savings in real-time. This app ensures transparency and engagement, complete with an AI-driven chatbot for instant customer support and troubleshooting.
Blaze was developed with the clear purpose of streamlining the entire solar process, from lead generation to system activation and maintenance, under one comprehensive platform. It serves as a one-stop solution that addresses the inefficiencies and redundancies solar dealers, installers, and EPC operation teams often encounter when using multiple, disjointed software systems. In a market flooded with tools that handle only specific parts of the process, solar companies face cost ineffectiveness, time lags, and integration issues. These challenges lead to delayed communication, mismanagement of leads, and a poor customer experience. Blaze consolidates all key solar functions—lead management, design and proposal, financial integration, team performance tracking, and customer monitoring—into a single, user-friendly platform, effectively solving these prevalent problems.
Unlike older products that focus on isolated functionalities, Blaze solves a unique problem of an integrated approach by tying a solar solution from presales to post-sales under one user-friendly platform. It is AI-powered, enabling accurate solar designs in seconds, and real-time automation that enhances speed, precision, and traceability. Its advanced shading analysis ensures optimal energy production by accounting for potential shading issues, a critical factor for maximizing system performance. Furthermore, the complex API integration allows seamless data sharing across various platforms, enhancing collaboration among sales organizations and operational teams. Blaze is also cost-effective, eliminating the need for multiple subscriptions to different software solutions, which can burden solar companies with unnecessary expenses. By providing a holistic approach, Blaze ensures that teams can operate at maximum efficiency, improving customer satisfaction and streamlining the workflow.
Blaze was developed by experienced pioneers in the solar industry, leveraging nearly two decades of expertise to address core challenges faced by solar companies. Development was driven by direct customer input gathered through interviews with solar companies, installers, operations teams, and sales organizations, who identified critical pain points, including ease of use, tracking sales leads across multiple platforms, and the lack of real-time, easy-to-understand monitoring for customers.
During development, Blaze underwent regression testing with a Quality Assurance team, utilizing thousands of use cases. In alpha testing, the software’s features were evaluated internally to ensure flawless functionality. For beta testing, Blaze was tested by customers, homeowners, sales organizations, financial institutions, EPC operation teams, and other stakeholders to guarantee optimal performance across all functions.
Blaze has quickly become a game-changer for solar companies across the U.S., with over 3,500 users—including EPCs, homeowners, and sales organizations—onboarded since its launch in Quarter 1, 2024. This widespread adoption underscores Blaze’s effectiveness in addressing the unique challenges of solar sales organizations and EPCs. Sales teams using Blaze have reported a 20% reduction in lost leads and a 15% increase in sales conversions, demonstrating its capacity to drive real results. Over 20 sales organizations currently use Blaze to manage daily operations across seven states in the USA, significantly improving sales outcomes.
The Customer Success Portal is being utilized by more than 3,000 homeowners, allowing them to monitor/track their solar energy production and savings, leading to greater customer satisfaction and engagement. This seamless monitoring has helped build trust and strengthened customer relationships.
Blaze consolidates lead management, project management, design, and proposal creation—along with financial integration and contract signing—into one platform, significantly reducing overhead costs. Companies using Blaze save tens of thousands annually on software, IT, and operational expenses, achieving an ROI of over 60X.
