Enact Home offers numerous benefits to your solar installation business, enhancing your ability to serve your customers and grow your operations.
Our platform empowers your business with valuable insights, streamlined operations and enhanced customer satisfaction. You can differentiate your business in the competitive solar market and drive long-term success.
Fleetview and organized system details
With Fleetview, you can view all your customers’ solar energy systems from a single dashboard. Enact Home is a single platform that works with all hardware types, giving you a wide view of your customers’ success.
Enact Home also organizes system details for installers, which makes maintaining customer relationships seamless. You can view a site’s details in one glance — including contracts, warranties and technical specifications. Enact Home allows installers to store customer documents in the cloud.
Better, branded monitoring
Enact Home offers solar installation businesses better solar monitoring software. The solar monitoring platform offers installers and system owners a simplified user experience and aesthetic. Enact Home shows users actual and estimated savings, tracks return on investment (ROI) and offers consumption monitoring. Installers can see their customers’ utility bills and imports.
Installers have a cutting edge with access to this data, offering a better way to engage with current and potential customers. Enact Home data can help you understand your customers’ system performance and experience. Additionally, this data provides installers with the ability to have informed and accurate conversations with potential customers.
Enact also allows white label services for installers, providing the Enact Home app under your installation business brand. Businesses can add their logo to the platform. Installers can turn their business from a service into a brand with Enact Home’s white label offer.
Automated Referrals
Word of mouth is the most powerful way to grow your customer base. Enact Home offers solar installation professionals the ability to track recommendations through the Automated Referrals feature. Installers can see which customers created a referral and see if customer referrals turn into sales.
Customers can refer your business to their friends, family and neighbors through the Enact Home platform. Users can send automated invites via email or SMS, using your custom brand.
Outage Reports
Solar energy systems need maintenance from time to time, which is why Enact developed the Outage Report. Enact Home keeps customers happy by quickly identifying when their systems go offline, first notifying solar owners and then the installer.
After a system inverter goes offline for 24 hours, Enact Home users get an email notification — alerting them to the offline status.
If an inverter has been offline for 72 hours, Enact Home automatically sends the user’s installer an email alert. Installers can quickly diagnose and address the issue, preventing expensive utility bills and wasted clean energy.
Reward your customers with Renewable Energy Certificates
Enact Home is the first solar monitoring platform to offer California homeowners the ability to capitalize on their solar investment. California residents who own a solar energy system can earn Renewable Energy Certificates (abbreviated as RECs) for every megawatt of solar-generated electricity sent to the utility grid.
The Enact Home platform transacts RECs on homeowners’ behalf through an exchange. By connecting your customers to Enact Home, you can reward your customers for their commitment to clean energy.
Homeowners can earn RECs if they meet the following criteria. Enact Home currently offers REC monetization to solar homeowners who own their system in California. To qualify for RECs, homeowners must have a revenue grade meter installed with their system.
Revenue grade meters are power production meters that measure with a plus or minus 2% accuracy, as determined by the American National Standards Institute. Inverters often have power production meters, but often have a larger margin of error. Revenue grade meters are devices that measure the output of a solar system and differ from utility meters — which measure how much power is taken from a utility grid.
Currently, only Enphase, SolarEdge and Fronius offer inverter options that meet the requirements to be a revenue grade meter.
Homeowners additionally need to have the following documents to qualify for RECs. These documents are listed below:
- Single Line Diagram — Typically included in plan set
- Signed Contract with Installer
- Signed California Solar Consumer Protection Guide
- Proof of Revenue Grade Meter — Such as a screenshot of the OEM portal
- Permission To Operate notice — Which can be an email
- Signed Interconnection Agreement
