CM Solar Suite helps solar installers and consultants design, quote, and deliver professional PV proposals quickly. Build accurate system estimates using household profiles, electricity-tariff inputs, and roof-area presets — then pick panels, inverters, and batteries from your price catalog. The app runs compatibility checks (MPPT voltage, DC power), calculates required kWp and panel counts, and shows usable battery kWh with runtime estimates.

Use the Price Engine to browse product categories (Panels, Inverters, Batteries, Accessories), import product lists via JSON, and scrape prices from supplier websites. Generate Good / Better / Best proposal packages with detailed cost breakdowns (equipment, labor, margin, VAT), branded PDF exports, and custom proposal templates.

Analyze economics with an ROI simulator and charts, compare proposals side-by-side, and save projects with concrete product selections. Manage your full sales pipeline with a built-in client CRM — track deal stages from Draft through Quoted, Accepted, Installed, and Completed. Add financing plans so clients can see their monthly payment alongside the system cost.

Track installed systems with performance logs and meter readings, compare actual vs. projected generation, and maintain complete service and maintenance records. Monitor inventory levels for panels, inverters, batteries, and accessories with low-stock alerts. Get smart product recommendations based on your active simulation and available catalog items.

Learn solar with the built-in education hub covering system types, battery storage, net metering, panel degradation, and a full glossary. Apply pricing rules (flat markups, discounts, per-watt rates) across your catalog in seconds.
