How This Automation Works
Solar Financing Application Submitted → Application Processed and Routed to Lender
Capture Application Details
When a financing application is submitted through your website, proposal tool, or CRM, the system automatically captures all applicant information, property details, solar system specifications, requested loan terms, and supporting documentation. Data is validated for completeness and formatted for downstream processing.
Perform Credit and Eligibility Checks
The system instantly queries credit bureaus to retrieve applicant credit scores and reports, verifies property ownership through county assessor databases, checks for existing solar installations or restrictions, and validates that the property meets minimum requirements for solar financing based on lender criteria.
Calculate Accurate Financing Terms
Based on system size, equipment costs, credit tier, and available incentives, the automation calculates monthly payments, total interest, net system cost after incentives, estimated energy savings, payback period, and lifetime returns. Multiple loan options can be generated for comparison.
Generate Required Documentation
The system automatically compiles all required documentation including credit authorization forms, property information sheets, system specifications, contractor licenses and certifications, proof of homeowners insurance, utility bills, and any additional documents specific to each lender's requirements.
Route to Appropriate Lenders
Complete application packages are automatically submitted to preferred lenders based on credit score, loan amount, property type, and lender specializations. The system tracks all submissions, monitors for responses, and can submit to secondary lenders if primary options decline.
Monitor Status and Send Updates
The automation continuously monitors application status across all submitted lenders, captures approval decisions and terms, sends real-time notifications to applicants and installers, updates CRM records, and triggers next steps such as scheduling installation or collecting additional documentation for approved loans.
How It Works
Solar financing applications require careful coordination between homeowners, installers, credit agencies, and lending institutions. Manual processing creates bottlenecks that delay installations and frustrate customers. This automation captures financing applications, instantly validates applicant information against credit databases, verifies property eligibility, calculates accurate loan terms based on system size and incentives, and automatically routes qualified applications to preferred lenders. The system tracks application status in real-time, sends automated updates to applicants, and flags issues requiring human review. By eliminating manual data entry and accelerating decision-making, solar companies can process more applications with fewer staff while delivering a superior customer experience that closes more deals.
The Trigger
When a homeowner or installer submits a solar financing application through your website, proposal software, or CRM system, the automation immediately captures all application data including personal information, property details, system specifications, and requested loan terms.
The Action
The system validates applicant credit scores, verifies property ownership and eligibility, calculates accurate financing terms including tax credits and incentives, generates required documentation, routes the complete application package to appropriate lenders based on credit tier and loan amount, and sends status notifications to all stakeholders.
