Leads

The page collects and manages all incoming sales opportunities, allowing you to track prospects from first contact through qualification and conversion into active projects.

Purpose of This Page

The Leads page serves as the entry point of the sales and qualification process in solarVis.

It is designed to help sales and project teams:

  • Collect and organize potential customer information

  • Qualify sales opportunities based on location, energy usage, and system type

  • Track lead progress through defined sales stages

  • Assign leads to users, teams, or partners

  • Identify where leads come from (Lead Generator module or manual entry)

  • Convert qualified leads into projects that continue in the design and proposal workflows

By managing leads centrally, teams maintain visibility, consistency, and traceability across all early customer interactions.

What You Can Do Here

On the Leads page, you can:

  • View all leads using table, grid, or kanban views

  • Create new leads manually or analyze leads coming from the Lead Generator

  • Assign leads to users, teams, or partners

  • Search and filter leads using multiple criteria

  • Import leads in bulk or export lead data to Excel

  • Open detailed lead records for review and add activities, notes, and documents

  • Convert qualified leads into projects

How Leads Work

Leads can be created in multiple ways within solarVis:

  • Manual creation by users from the Leads page

  • Automatic creation via integration, which is called the solarVis Lead Generator module embedded on company websites

Each lead includes essential information such as location, facility type, grid connection type, contact details, energy consumption data, and optional system interests.

Lead Source Identification

Every lead has a Source value that indicates how it was created.

This information is visible in the Source column.

Available lead sources include:

  • Company LeadGen

    Leads are generated automatically through the solarVis Lead Generator module on the company website.

  • Manual (Entities)

    Leads are created manually by internal users or teams directly inside the platform.

This distinction helps teams understand lead origin, evaluate lead quality, and analyze performance across different acquisition channels.

Leads Page Structure

It outlines how leads are organized, viewed, filtered, and managed throughout their lifecyclefrom initial capture to conversion into a project.

Lead Views

Leads can be viewed on this page in three different ways:

Table View

The Table View displays all leads in a table format.

Each row represents a single lead and includes key attributes such as:

  • Assignee

  • Creator User

  • Creator Entity

  • Facility type

  • Grid connection type

  • Location

  • Lead status

  • Source

  • Contacted: Customer has been contacted

  • Assigned: Lead has been assigned to a responsible user or team

  • Site Survey: Assessment is in progress

  • Converted: Lead has been successfully converted into a project

  • Existing leads can be exported to Excel for reporting, sharing, or offline analysis

Creating a New Lead

It can be explained how to enter and configure all required information to create a new lead, ensuring accurate data collection for qualification, analysis, and future project conversion.

General Information

This section defines the core attributes of the lead, including:

  • Lead type (Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Agricultural)

  • Grid connection type (On-Grid, Off-Grid, Zero Injection)

  • Lead name

  • Address and geographic location

  • Assignment to a branch, team, or user

Location can be entered manually, selected from the map, or detected using the current location.

Contact Info

Each lead must be linked to a contact.

You can:

  • Search and select for an existing contact by name or email

  • Add a new contact to link with the lead

This ensures customer information remains consistent across leads and projects.

Electricity Consumption

This section defines the customer’s energy profile.

You can:

  • Enter average monthly consumption manually (kWh)

  • Use bill-based consumption data

Consumption data is later used for system sizing, feasibility checks, and proposal calculations.

Optional Systems

Optional system components can be enabled if applicable:

  • Battery

  • Heat Pump

These selections affect future project calculations and feasibility checks.

Created Lead Details

Click a lead to edit, convert, or analyze it.

Lead Overview Tab

The Overview tab provides a complete summary of the lead, including:

  • Satellite image of the location

  • Full address and coordinates

  • Facility type

  • Grid connection type

  • System interest indicators (panel, battery, heat pump)

  • Linked contact information

  • Creator details

  • Creation date

A Google Maps link is available for direct navigation.

Associated Projects

This section displays projects created by the lead.

Information includes:

  • Project power

  • Battery capacity

  • Total price with and without VAT

  • Price per kWp with and without VAT

This helps compare project outcomes after conversion.

circle-info

Multiple projects can be converted from a single lead. Once the conversion is completed, the system automatically navigates the user to the project page. The project is initially created with the lead name, but the name can be changed later.

Consumption Panel

Displays:

  • Average monthly consumption

  • Consumption profile

  • A visual consumption chart for quick analysis

Notes Panel

Allows internal users to add notes related to the lead.

Notes support:

  • Sales follow-ups

  • Internal communication

  • Tracking communication history

Lead Actions

From the lead overview, users can:

  • Convert the lead into a project

  • Edit lead information

  • Use the three-dots menu to;

    • Assign or reassign the lead

    • Update lead status

    • Archive the lead

Lead Activities Tab

The Activities tab provides a complete, chronological timeline of everything that has happened on a lead since it was created.

Each activity entry records:

  • The type of action performed

  • The user responsible for the action (or system, where applicable)

  • A short, descriptive summary of the action

  • The exact date and time the action occurred

Activities are displayed in chronological order, allowing users to easily follow the progression of the lead over time.

Typical activities recorded in this tab include:

  • Lead creation

  • Lead conversion into a project

  • Lead status changes

  • Assignment or reassignment to a user, team, or branch

  • System-triggered updates related to the lead lifecycle

Sales and project teams use the Activities tab to quickly understand the full history of a lead, and gain context before contacting the customer or moving the lead to the next stage.

This tab ensures transparency, accountability, and traceability throughout the sales process.

Lead Notes Tab

The Notes tab is used for internal communication and collaboration related to a lead.

Notes are internal only and are never visible to customers or external parties.

Each note can include:

  • Free-text content for explanations, comments, or reminders

  • A single file attachment, if needed

circle-info

If you add a file here, it will automatically appear in the Documents tab.

Notes are displayed in chronological order, creating a continuous narrative of internal discussions and decisions.

Common use cases for notes include:

  • Call summaries and meeting outcomes

  • Follow-up reminders and next steps

  • Customer preferences or special considerations

  • Internal alignment and decision documentation

File Attachments in Notes

When attaching files to notes, the following rules apply:

  • Only one file can be attached per note

  • Maximum file size is 10 MB

This keeps notes lightweight while still allowing important supporting material to be captured alongside internal discussions.

The Notes tab helps teams stay aligned and preserves context directly within the lead record.

Lead Documents Tab

The Documents tab is the central location for managing all files associated with a lead.

It ensures that lead-specific documents are organized, accessible, and preserved throughout the sales lifecycle.

Each document entry includes:

  • File name

  • Upload date

  • The user who uploaded the document

  • Download action

  • Delete action

circle-info

Documents are stored independently from notes, making them easier to find and manage as the lead progresses.

The Documents tab supports uploading and managing files such as:

  • Customer-provided documents

  • Consumption bills or technical attachments

  • Any supporting files required during qualification

By centralizing document management at the lead level, teams maintain a consistent and traceable file history across the entire customer journey.

Lead Proposals Tab

The Proposals tab displays all proposals that have been created and sent for the lead after converting it to a project.

It allows sales teams to track proposal delivery, customer engagement, pricing, and acceptance status directly from the lead record.

Proposal List Information

For each proposal, the following information is displayed:

  • Proposal Link

  • Customer (the customer associated with the proposal)

  • Design Name (the system design used to generate the proposal)

  • Sent Date

  • Sent Via

  • Proposal Status

  • Proposal Amount (With VAT)

  • Proposal Amount (Without VAT)

  • Grid Connection Type

  • Is Active / Inactive status

  • View Details;

    • View date

    • Display time (how long the proposal was viewed)

    • View channel (email, SMS, or link)

circle-info

Proposal data will be seen once a lead is converted into a project.

Converting a Lead into a Project

When converting a lead:

  1. A confirmation modal is displayed

  2. The modal summarizes key project details such as:

    • Facility type

    • Grid connection type

    • Address

    • Customer

    • Assigned team or user

  3. After confirmation, a new project is created using the lead data

The project then continues through the design and proposal workflow.

circle-info

When converting a lead into a project, the system gives an error if the lead does not have a location, because solarVis selects regulations based on location.

Editing a Lead

The Edit Lead action allows users to update lead information after creation.

When clicking Edit, the system opens the Edit Lead page, where you can modify the same sections available when creating a new lead.
