Salt: the Answer to the Energy Storage Problem

I bought a jumbo pretzel the last time I went to a ballgame at Petco field this past summer.

As I sat in my seat, baking in the hot San Diego sun, grains of salt from my delicious snack fell inconsequentially into my lap. I brushed them off, thinking nothing of it. Had I known, I wouldn't have...I would have...

My God, what have I done?

Automation vs. the Human Touch

Good solar design is about striking a balance.

On one hand, you want things to be done for you. Time is precious, and you can't be bogged down trying to draw panels with bulky CAD software when you're in front of a customer, trying to get them a quick & dirty estimate. 

On the other hand, you can't always rely on machines to pick up those 4" vent pipes, or knowing when your installers will prefer to flip one panel to landscape in a row of portrait modules.

​As solar contractors, we knew that we needed both-- a system that could use machine automation to get the heavy lifting done, then give us the flexibility we needed to refine the design.

QuickSolar does just that. 

As you can see in the screenshot above, (1) the QuickSolar Polygon Tool allows you to draw an area on your customer's rooftop. The area will automatically fill with solar panels.

Watch 3 GIFs showing the different ways to add multiple panels in QuickSolar. 


(2) From there, select individual modules and play with them however you or your design team wants. You have no restrictions on how panels are oriented in a row, or how far apart panels are placed from each other.

Watch this short GIF on using the Select tool in QuickSolar.


Control is key-- don't let your solar software dictate how your design should look, based on its own limitations.

​Put the power back in your hands.

QuickSolar is not only the most easy-to-use solar design tool on the Web, but we also have the most easy-to-stomach pricing, giving you the most value for your hard-earned dollar.

Here's a quick breakdown of our pricing structure, and what you get at each level.


Pro
To begin, you can sign up for a free "Pro" account here. There's nothing to download, and no credit card required. You'll be getting basic access to QuickSolar for a 5 project trial, so you can see if our solar design tool and professional proposals work for you.

MegaPro
Once you're hooked on QuickSolar, you can get extended access to our design tool features as a "MegaPro" for only $39 per month.

Not only do you get unlimited projects in your new account, but you also get access to more data in the design tool, including financial data & environmental data. As a MegaPro, you can also upload up to 10 MB of site photos, documents, and other critical documents to each new project you create.

To upgrade your Pro account, simply log in to QuickSolar, click "Welcome" in the upper-right, and select "Upgrade." Of course if you want more, you can upgrade to the next level, too...

GigaPro
This is for all the marbles. 

In addition to being able to create up to 30 designs per project, as a GigaPro, you get access to all of the other features that QuickSolar has to offer, making your solar designs faster, more precise, and with maximum customization (watch short videos on these features here):
  • Loan Model: Create your own loan profiles to be modeled into your proposals.
  • Polygon tool: Draw a free-form shape to automatically fill it with solar panels.
  • Change Panel feature: Swap solar panels mid-design without redoing your layout.
  • Derate Factor tool: Change the variabels that determine your system output.
  • Color tool: Change your panel color to show relative performance.
  • Distance tool: Measure between two points to create setback guides.

You're not going to break the bank as a GigaPro-- enjoy everything QuickSolar has to offer for only $79 per month.


Price breaks
When you upgrade to the GigaPro level, you also get the opportunity for price breaks when you add additional users, as well as price breaks for longer term subscriptions.

When it's all said and done, you have the ability to get up to 65% off on your QuickSolar subscription.
