The system validates credentials, optimizes routing, sends instant notifications with job details, and maintains compliance with electrical licensing requirements while reducing administrative time by up to 70%.
How This Automation Works
Solar Installation Scheduled → Licensed Electrician Assigned & Notified
Solar Project Triggers Electrical Work Request
When a solar installation reaches the electrical connection phase or a new project is scheduled requiring licensed electrical work, the system automatically creates a dispatch request. It extracts key details including job location, scope of electrical work, required certifications, estimated duration, and customer information from your project management system.
System Validates Compliance Requirements
The automation checks electrical permit status, verifies required certifications for the specific job type, and confirms all local regulatory requirements are met. It cross-references the work scope with state electrical codes to determine which license classifications are needed, ensuring compliance before proceeding with dispatch.
Qualified Electricians Identified and Ranked
The system queries your electrician database to identify all licensed professionals with matching certifications and valid credentials. It ranks candidates based on proximity to the job site, current workload, availability within the required timeframe, past performance ratings, and specialization in solar electrical work.
Optimal Electrician Assigned Automatically
Based on the ranking algorithm, the system assigns the best-matched electrician to the project. It automatically blocks out the time on their calendar, marks them as unavailable for conflicting time slots, and logs the assignment in both your scheduling system and the electrician's schedule.
Instant Notification Sent with Job Details
The assigned electrician receives an immediate notification via their preferred channel containing comprehensive job information: customer address, contact details, solar system specifications, electrical work scope, required tools and equipment, site access instructions, safety protocols, and estimated completion time.
Confirmation and Real-Time Updates Tracked
The system monitors for electrician confirmation and tracks status updates throughout the job. Project managers receive automatic notifications when the electrician confirms, departs for the site, arrives onsite, and completes the work. Any delays or issues trigger immediate alerts, and the system can initiate automatic reassignment if needed.
How It Works
Solar installation companies face unique challenges coordinating licensed electricians across multiple job sites while maintaining strict compliance requirements. This automated dispatch system matches electricians with the right certifications to each project, validates their licenses in real-time, and optimizes routing based on location and availability. The system automatically checks for required credentials such as electrical contractor licenses, solar PV certifications, and local permits before confirming assignments. It sends instant notifications to electricians with project details, site access codes, and required equipment lists. Real-time status updates keep project managers informed while reducing administrative overhead by up to 70%. Built-in compliance tracking ensures every dispatch meets state and local electrical licensing requirements, while intelligent scheduling prevents double-bookings and optimizes drive times between sites.
The Trigger
When a new solar installation is scheduled in your project management system, the process automatically identifies electrical work requirements, verifies permit status, and initiates the dispatch sequence. The system evaluates the scope of work, required certifications, and estimated timeline to begin matching qualified electricians.
The Action
The system automatically assigns the optimal licensed electrician based on proximity, certification match, current workload, and availability. The electrician receives an instant notification with job details, site location, customer information, required equipment checklist, and access instructions. Project managers receive confirmation with estimated arrival time and technician credentials.

Results You Can Expect
Eliminate Scheduling Conflicts
Automatically prevent scheduling conflicts by maintaining real-time visibility of electrician availability across all projects. The system instantly blocks calendars when assignments are made and prevents overlapping appointments, eliminating the costly errors and customer dissatisfaction that come from double-booked electricians.
Ensure License Compliance
Automatically verify that every dispatched electrician holds valid licenses and required certifications before assignment. The system maintains up-to-date credential records, alerts you to expiring licenses, and prevents non-compliant dispatches, protecting your company from regulatory violations and liability issues.
Optimize Electrician Routing
Reduce fuel costs and increase billable hours by automatically assigning electricians based on geographic proximity. The system calculates optimal routes between multiple job sites, minimizing travel time and enabling electricians to complete more installations per day while reducing vehicle wear and environmental impact.
Accelerate Response Times
Instantly match and notify electricians the moment electrical work is needed, eliminating manual searching through availability calendars. What previously took hours of phone calls and coordination now happens in seconds, enabling faster project progression and improved customer satisfaction with rapid response times.
Reduce Administrative Overhead
Free your scheduling team from repetitive coordination tasks by automating the entire dispatch process. Staff can focus on complex project management and customer relationships instead of playing phone tag with electricians, checking licenses, and manually updating schedules across multiple systems.
Improve First-Time Completion Rates
Match electrician expertise to specific job requirements, ensuring the right specialist with appropriate certifications handles each installation type. By dispatching qualified professionals with relevant solar electrical experience, you reduce errors, minimize callbacks, and improve installation quality while lowering overall project costs.
