AI operations for solar installers.
Hibe helps solar installers verify panel and equipment invoices, automate commissions on complex system sales, pay install crews on verified completions, and train new sales reps and installers.
Where solar installers lose money without knowing it
Panel and inverter invoices don't reconcile to the sold system
System designs change between sale and install. Invoices from panel and inverter distributors don't always match what the customer bought — and nobody catches it until job cost drops post-PTO.
Commission structures are the most complex in home improvement
Base commission, dealer fee split, redlines on financing tier, chargebacks on cancelled PTO — a solar comp plan is a nightmare in spreadsheets.
Install completion payment can't wait for PTO
Crews need to be paid on install completion, not on utility approval 60 days later. But you need to track PTO to trigger final revenue recognition.

How to put Hibe for solar installers into operation
Hibe helps solar installers verify panel and equipment invoices, automate commissions on complex system sales, pay install crews on verified completions, and train new sales reps and installers. The implementation should begin with the workflow creating the clearest financial or scheduling drag, then expand after the team validates the result against its current process.
The right rollout is deliberately narrow at first. It proves that the data, ownership, and economics work for your team before the workflow expands. Use the six steps below as a practical review with the people who own the process and the people who approve its financial result.
Step 1
Document the current baseline
Write down how the work happens today before changing it: who starts it, which system holds the source record, where approvals happen, and how an exception reaches the right person. For solar owners and operations teams, the useful baseline includes time spent, error frequency, dollars delayed or lost, and the number of handoffs. Without that baseline, a smoother demo can look successful even when the underlying operating result has not changed.
Step 2
Start with trustworthy source data
Identify the records that must agree before Hibe for solar installers can be automated. Typical inputs on this page include Panel and inverter invoices don't reconcile to the sold system, Commission structures are the most complex in home improvement, Install completion payment can't wait for PTO. Assign an owner to each source and decide what happens when a required field is missing. Hibe should make incomplete data visible; it should not silently invent an answer. This step keeps automation auditable and gives finance, sales, and operations the same definition of a clean record.
Step 3
Run a controlled first workflow
Choose one team, branch, or repeatable workflow and run it in parallel with the current process for a short validation period. Review every exception and compare the result with the existing method. A focused rollout lets the team tune approval thresholds, ownership, and notifications without creating organization-wide disruption. Expand only after the people responsible for the result trust what they see and know how to correct an exception.
Step 4
Design the exception path
Automation is most useful when routine work disappears and unusual work becomes obvious. Define which cases can proceed automatically, which need a manager, and which must stop for finance or executive review. Give every exception an owner and a due time. For solar owners and operations teams, that means fewer status meetings and fewer spreadsheet audits because the queue itself shows what needs judgment, what is waiting, and what has already cleared.
Step 5
Measure operating outcomes
Track business results, not login counts. Relevant signals include Design-to-install cost variance caught: 2–4%, Commission calc time: -95%, Crew payment cycle: -70%. Review them against the baseline at 30, 60, and 90 days, and separate one-time cleanup gains from recurring improvement. If a metric does not move, inspect the workflow before adding more automation. The goal of Hibe for solar installers is a durable operating change that the team can explain in dollars, hours, speed, or fewer disputes.
Step 6
Expand without losing control
Once the first workflow is stable, reuse its data definitions, approval rules, and reporting cadence for the next team. Keep a named owner for each integration and review access whenever roles change. A measured expansion protects the early gains while giving leadership a consistent view across branches. It also makes future improvements faster because the company is building on one operating model instead of creating another disconnected process.
Common questions from solar installers
Do you integrate with solar-specific tools like Aurora or Solo?
Aurora and Solo integrations are available on Enterprise as custom projects. HubSpot and JobNimbus are native — most solar shops running those work out of the box.
Can Hibe handle dealer fee splits?
Yes — commission rules support dealer, EPC, and internal splits with tiered kicker rules.
Does the crew payment logic wait for PTO?
Configurable — crew installers typically get paid on install completion; sales gets paid on PTO or M1 depending on your comp plan.
Do you support battery attach commissions?
Yes — battery is treated as a separate commission line with its own rules.
