Every install is a project
Surveys, quotes, parts, permits and install days are hard to keep in step across spreadsheets.
Solar & Energy
Solar software that keeps every install on track.
Job workflows, survey apps and monitoring dashboards that connect your office, your installers and your customers.
The problem
What gets in the way today.
Survey data typed twice
Notes and photos from site end up re-entered back at the office.
Customers in the dark
Without updates, customers call to ask where their install has got to.
Follow-up after install
Warranties, service visits and faults are tracked in spreadsheets once the installer leaves.
Slow customer onboarding
Surveys, quotes and paperwork take weeks of back and forth.
Data in too many places
Meter, asset and job data sit in separate tools, so reporting is hard.

How we work
What we take care of in solar & energy.
Every sector has its own rules and habits. These are the things we plan for from the first workshop, so they do not turn into surprises before launch.
Technology that suits this work
- React and Next.js
- React Native
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- Charting and data visualisation
Integrations
We connect to the monitoring and accounting tools you already use, where they offer an API.
Built for the field
Survey apps with large controls and offline saving for rooftops and lofts.
Clear stages
Workflows that match how your installs really run, not a generic template.
Reporting
See jobs by stage, region or installer so bottlenecks show up early.
What changes
What good software gives your team.
Quotes sent sooner
Survey to quote in one flow.
No retyping
Site data goes straight into your system.
Clear records
Every asset has its own history.
Better customer updates
Customers see progress without chasing.
Fewer return visits
Checklists catch missing steps on site.
Easier reporting
Install and service data in one place.
Trends
Where solar & energy is heading.
- 01
Home energy at scale
Solar, batteries and heat pumps are moving into more homes, and installers need tools that keep up.
- 02
Smart and connected devices
Chargers, batteries and meters increasingly share data through apps and APIs.
- 03
Flexible energy use
Tariffs and services that shift use to cheaper, cleaner times need clear customer apps.
- 04
Reporting on impact
Customers and funders want to see energy and carbon savings in simple terms.
Why CrowdApps
How we work with solar & energy teams.
Scope agreed in writing
Before any work starts you get a written scope, timeline and price, so everyone knows what is being built.
Working software every week
Weekly demos of real, working features. You see progress and can change direction early.
You own the code and IP
Everything we build is yours: source code, designs and accounts, handed over in full.
NDA before we see your idea
We sign an NDA before you share details, and the same senior team stays with you from start to finish.
Our process
From first call to launch and beyond.
- 1
Intro call
A short call about what you need, who will use it and what is in the way today.

Features, timeline and price in writing, with an NDA signed first if you need one.
- 3
Design
Clickable screens you can test with real users before we build.
- 4
Build and weekly demos
Working software every week, so you can steer as it takes shape.
- 5
Test and launch
Testing on real devices, then release to the web or the app stores.
- 6
Support and grow
Monitoring, fixes and new features in planned releases.
Our experience
We have worked with solar energy businesses on monitoring and installation workflows. We are happy to talk you through it on a call.
Ask us about this work →Questions
Asked by solar & energy teams.
Can you pull data from our inverters or monitoring platform?
Where the manufacturer or platform offers an API or data export, yes. We check what is available early, before we promise a feature.
Can installers use the app on site without signal?
Yes. We build survey and job apps that save on the device and sync later.
Can you show data from inverters or smart meters?
If the device or provider offers an API or data export, yes. We check access early and design around what the data can really show.
Can installers use the app without signal?
Yes. Jobs and forms work offline and sync later.
How much does a project like this cost?
It depends on scope: the number of user types, features, integrations and platforms. After a short call we send a written scope with a fixed price or a monthly team cost, so you can decide before anything starts. You can also get a first range from our project estimator.
How long does it take to launch?
A focused first version usually takes a few months, and smaller tools can be faster. We agree the timeline in the written scope and show working software every week, so you can see it taking shape.
Who owns the code?
You do. The source code, designs, documentation and app store or cloud accounts are yours, and we hand everything over in full.
Do you support the product after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing support, monitoring and updates, and we can keep adding features in planned releases. You can also take the code to your own team at any time.
