Solar installer software for Australian businesses
Quote the full system at the kitchen table while the roof check's still fresh, line the installs up around the weather and the meter box, and have the deposit invoiced before the panels leave the wholesaler. All of it from your phone, all of it on one flat price.
Quotes itemised down to the last isolator
Panels, inverter, rail and brackets, the switchboard work, the install labour: every line its own price. Build the quote from your price book on the spot, hit send, and the client gets a professional PDF with your details on it the same afternoon. The client sees exactly what a 6.6kW system is made of, and you're not doing sums at a red light.
Your accreditation, on every document
Solar buyers are told to check their installer's accreditation before they sign anything. jobmate247 puts yours where they can't miss it: your electrical licence and your SAA accreditation number, displayed on every quote and invoice, on the PDF and on the share link your client opens. The credentials that make your installs STC-eligible, sitting right on the paperwork that wins the job.
Deposits before the panels land
A solar install isn't a mow-and-go job: thousands of dollars of panels, inverter and rail arrive before anything goes on the roof. Invoice a deposit against the job before you order, then invoice the balance at commissioning, or in stages on the bigger jobs. Every invoice tracks against the one job, so you always know what's been billed, what's been paid and what's still owing.
Retrofits, services and repeat work
The install is just the first visit. Battery retrofits are everywhere, inverters need swapping, panels need cleaning, and every system needs its yearly health check. Set the service to recurring and it books itself. And because a client can be a company with multiple contacts and multiple site addresses, the builder putting solar on every lot in the stage stays one tidy client record, not a dozen duplicates.
Invoices that chase themselves
Turn the accepted quote into a GST-ready invoice in a couple of taps. Every invoice carries a share link with your bank details and PayID, so the client can pay the moment they open it. Automatic overdue reminders chase the final stage payment so you don't have to make that awkward call.
Your price book built in
Save your standard lines once: the 6.6kW supply-and-install package, the battery retrofit, the inverter swap, the panel clean by the panel, the bird proofing by the job. Next quote, they're a tap away with your prices already on them. Consistent pricing, quotes out before the ute's off the driveway.
Bring your client list with you
Import your clients from a CSV or straight out of Cashflow Manager with your account codes kept intact, and export invoices as a CSV formatted for Xero or MYOB for your bookkeeper.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the best solar installer software in Australia?
- For a solo installer or small crew, the best solar business software is the one that handles the whole job: quote, schedule, invoice, payment, without charging per user. jobmate247 does exactly that for A$35 a month flat. If you've been hunting for software for solar installers that isn't a sales platform in disguise, this is the one built for the operator on the roof.
- Is there solar quoting software that itemises the whole system?
- Yes. jobmate247 quotes line by line from your price book: panels, inverter, rail and brackets, the switchboard work, the install labour, each with its own price. The client sees exactly what a 6.6kW system is made of, and the quote's out the same afternoon as the site visit.
- Can I show my SAA accreditation number on quotes and invoices?
- Yes. jobmate247 displays up to two licence or accreditation type and number pairs on every quote and invoice: your electrical licence in one, your SAA accreditation in the other. They're on the PDF and on the share link your client opens, so the box every solar buyer is told to tick is already ticked.
- I'm a one-ute operation. Isn't solar software built for sales teams?
- Most of it is: proposal designers, financing pipelines, dispatch boards for a fleet of crews. jobmate247 is built for the accredited installer who does the work: quote it, book it, invoice it, get paid, all from the phone in your pocket.
- Does jobmate247 do solar design, proposals or STC paperwork?
- No. There's no panel-layout design, no shading analysis, and it doesn't lodge STC claims or compliance paperwork. Plenty of solar businesses pair jobmate247 with their design tool and their compliance process, and use jobmate247 for the money side: quotes, scheduling, invoices and payments.
- Can it handle services, panel cleans and battery retrofits?
- Yes. Set a health check or a panel clean to recurring and the next visit books itself, price carried forward. Battery retrofits and inverter swaps are just jobs with their own quotes, and because a client can be a company with multiple contacts and multiple site addresses, the builder with a dozen lots stays one tidy client record.
- What does jobmate247 cost?
- A$35 per month flat, GST inclusive. No per-user fees, no limits on jobs, quotes or invoices, and no job credits to run out of halfway through the month.
- Do I need to install an app?
- No. jobmate247 runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, so there's nothing to download and nothing to update. If you've been searching for a solar installer app, this works the same way, minus the app store. Add it to your home screen and it opens just like an app.
