# WELCOME!

## Welcome to solarVis <a href="#welcome-to-solarvis" id="welcome-to-solarvis"></a>

SolarVis helps you manage the **entire pre‑sales lifecycle** of a solar project from the first customer interaction to a finalized proposal.

It brings together lead management, system design, feasibility calculations, and proposal generation into a single, connected workflow.

Instead of switching between separate CRM tools, design software, and Excel files, solarVis combines everything into one structured system. Every piece of information you enter is reused across:

* Technical system sizing
* Energy production and feasibility calculations
* Financial analysis and pricing
* Customer-facing proposal documents

This connected approach ensures consistency, reduces duplicated work, and minimizes costly mistakes.

SolarVis is designed for teams working in the solar and sustainable energy sector, including:

* Solar installation companies
* EPC companies
* Sales teams preparing solar proposals

## How solarVis Is Structured <a href="#how-solarvis-is-structured" id="how-solarvis-is-structured"></a>

SolarVis is organized into modular pages that reflect the natural flow of a solar project.

Each module focuses on a specific step and automatically feeds data into the next step. This reduces manual input and keeps projects aligned across teams.

You can be logged into your solarVis account in only one active session at a time. If you or someone else signs in from another session to your account, you will be automatically logged out of the current session.

For the best performance and user experience, we recommend using **Google Chrome** when accessing solarVis.

## The Typical solarVis Workflow <a href="#the-typical-solarvis-workflow" id="the-typical-solarvis-workflow"></a>

Most users follow a simple, repeatable process:

1. Capture or create a **lead or contact**
2. Convert the lead into a **project**
3. Define **project details and location**
4. Design the **PV system and optional components**
5. Review **feasibility and financial results**
6. Prepare and share a **professional proposal**

Each step builds on the previous one. Information entered once is reused everywhere, keeping your project consistent and up-to-date.
