Features of Solar Pro Tools include:

1. Produces customized professional sales proposal for the prospective buyer
2. Customer relationship management (CRM) features to track sales success from lead to funded installation
3. Materials resource planning (MRP) features to store component costs, inventory levels, and re-order schedules by distributor
4. Optimization analysis providing side-by-side comparison of multiple system sizes based on budget, payback period, energy production, and incentive limits
5. Integrated sales lead management
6. Integrated with Clean Power Finance’s financing programs to provide a monthly payment estimate and conditional loan approval for each system configuration

“The addition of Solar Pro Tools is a key milestone for Clean Power Finance and accelerates our ability to bring home solar to the mass market,” explained Gary Kremen, founder of Clean Power Finance, Inc. “Combining Solar Pro Tools with Clean Power Finance will accelerate the creation of a dashboard interface for solar installers.”
