Solar project journey
Customers see each step from site survey to design, permit, install, inspection, utility approval, and system on. The next step is always clear.
Working prototype · Home services
Solar Installer app prototype, ready to try before you build.
Explore a working solar installer app prototype with solar project journey, permit and utility blocker status, and install, survey, and inspection schedule. Customize it yourself or have Mistflow Studio build the approved screens, style, and flow.
This is a working mobile prototype, not a shipped app. Mistflow can turn it into a native iPhone and Android app after you confirm the screens, platform details, and integrations.

Built for solar installer work
The friction this app is designed to remove.
Not a generic app template. This prototype starts with the moments that cost your team time or leave customers waiting.
- Homeowners call every few days asking if permits are back, when inspection is scheduled, or why the system is not live yet.
- Your project coordinators spend too much time sending the same status updates instead of moving solar installs forward.
- A missing utility bill, HOA approval, or signed interconnection form can stall a project for a week because the customer did not know it was needed.
- Install, site survey, and inspection days go sideways when homeowners forget the date, do not clear attic access, or do not know how to prepare.
- After PTO, customers still ask if the panels are working because they cannot easily see today's production, home offset, and estimated bill savings in one place.
Inside the prototype
Specific tools for your solar installer.
Keep what fits, change what does not, and add the details that make the workflow yours.
Permit and utility blocker status
Show what is waiting on the city, the utility, the HOA, or the homeowner, so people know why the project is paused without calling your office.
Install, survey, and inspection schedule
Customers see upcoming solar appointments, confirm the date, and get simple prep instructions like clear the electrical panel, unlock the gate, or make attic access available.
Production and savings home screen
Once the system is running, customers can check today's solar production, home offset, and estimated bill savings from the Energy Home screen.
Solar document requests
Ask for the exact paperwork you need, such as a utility bill, signed contract, HOA form, permit signature, or meter photo, and let the homeowner upload it from their phone.
Project coordinator chat
Customers message their coordinator inside the app instead of scattering questions across email, texting, voicemail, and Instagram DMs.
Your solar brand on their phone
SunLatch uses your company name, colors, logo, and project language, so customers feel like they are using your solar app, not a generic contractor portal.

Example workflows
How it could work day to day.
Use these examples to judge whether the flow matches your business before you commit to building it.
- 01A new customer opens SunLatch after signing. They see site survey completed, design in review, permit submitted, and the next blocker: upload the latest utility bill. They upload it from their phone and the coordinator gets it without another reminder call.
- 02The install crew is scheduled for Tuesday. The homeowner gets a reminder, confirms the date, and reads the prep list: clear the driveway, unlock the side gate, and make the main panel accessible. The crew arrives and can start on time.
- 03After the system receives permission to operate, the customer opens Energy Home each morning to see today's production, home offset, and estimated bill savings. Instead of asking if the panels are working, they can see performance for themselves.
- 04An inspection date changes because the city moved the slot. The coordinator updates the schedule, the customer sees the new inspection date in SunLatch, and the support chat keeps the whole conversation tied to that project.

Straight answers
Solar Installer app pricing, explained.
Choose self-serve if you want control, or Studio if you want Mistflow to take the build from approved prototype to a native iPhone and Android app.
Agency comparison from the industry brief: A custom solar customer app from an agency often costs $25,000 to $80,000 or more, especially if you want project tracking, scheduling, document uploads, chat, and production or savings screens. Quotes vary by scope, platform, and integrations.

Have Mistflow build itBuying questions
Know exactly what you are starting with.
Clear answers about the prototype, the finished build, and your two paths forward.
Is this solar installer app finished?
No. The screens on this page are a working prototype: you can explore the flow, but it is not a shipped customer app. The finished app is built after you approve or customize the prototype.
Can I start with this exact prototype?
Yes. Build my version carries this exact prototype into Mistflow, including its screens, style, and flow. You can change it before the finished app is built.
What can I customize for my solar installer?
You can change the branding, wording, steps, and features. This prototype currently demonstrates Solar project journey, Permit and utility blocker status, and Install, survey, and inspection schedule, and you can keep, remove, or reshape those parts around the way your business works.
Can the app show steps that match our solar workflow?
Yes. In the finished app, if your process has HOA approval, trenching, battery backup, panel upgrade, final inspection, utility meter swap, or PTO, you can include those steps. The app should sound like your company, not a template.
Can homeowners upload missing solar paperwork?
Yes. In the finished app, you can request a utility bill, signed agreement, HOA form, permit signature, meter photo, or other project document, and the homeowner can send it from the app.
How much does it cost to turn this into a finished app?
For self-serve, you use a Mistflow subscription; current plan prices are listed on the pricing page. Mistflow Studio is a separate $4,900 fixed service for a 14-day native iPhone and Android app build. Scope is confirmed before work starts.
