Solo Unveils Solo Studio

On January 26, 2026, Solo, a frontrunner in proposal management for home energy contractors, introduced a revolutionary self-serve design platform named Solo Studio. This innovative tool empowers solar and home energy experts to take full command of the proposal creation process, marking a serious shift in how they can design, price, and close deals across various sectors including solar installations, battery storage solutions, roofing, HVAC systems, and more.

A Shift Towards Control and Efficiency

Solo Studio enriches Solo's previously established proposal engine and integrated financing marketplace with cutting-edge in-house design capabilities. This combination enables contractors to generate precise, finance-ready proposals at their own pace, ensuring they maintain the high standards of quality and trust that Solo has built a reputation for. As CEO Tom O'Keefe states, "Our customers asked for more control, and Solo Studio delivers exactly that."

The platform is especially beneficial for a range of contractors, from large engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms managing hundreds of designs weekly to burgeoning teams eager to streamline costs and expedite their processes. Solo Studio ensures that every stakeholder remains connected through its comprehensive financing and compliance ecosystem.

Expanding Horizons in Home Energy Markets

In addition to introducing Solo Studio, Solo is extending its overall platform capabilities, positioning itself as a key component in the broader home energy market's sales enablement. With Solo Studio, contractors can now effortlessly create bundled proposals that encompass solar energy, battery storage, roofing, HVAC installations, and various energy-efficient enhancements all within a single, streamlined workflow. Upcoming vertical-specific templates, which include specialized resources for battery, roofing, and HVAC systems, will soon enable contractors to maximize their revenue potential across multiple service lines using just one tool.

Tim Price, Chief Revenue Officer, emphasizes the growing convergence within the home energy sector: "Homeowners desire a comprehensive discussion regarding solar power, backup systems, and energy efficiency. Solo provides contractors with the capability to approach these topics confidently, backed by accurate designs and financing solutions applicable across various product categories."

Fortifying Financial Integrations

Moreover, Solo has enhanced its Marketplace—essentially its integrated financing center—allowing new lender partnerships to be established within just weeks instead of months. This swift integration provides contractors immediate access to various loan, lease, and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) options. Additional features, such as real-time credit evaluations and comparative payment highlights, support an efficient in-home sales experience, permitting sales representatives to finalize deals promptly with pre-approved financing.

Legal Recognition of Innovation

Proof of Solo's technical leadership lies in its recent acquisition of two U.S. patents concerning its web-based proposal creation technology from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. These patents emphasize Solo's commitment to innovation and excellence:

1. Patent No US 12,353,803 B2: This patent protects a system utilizing three-dimensional point cloud data to automatically analyze rooftops, simulate sun exposure, and generate interactive solar installation proposals with optimal panel placements.
2. Patent No US 12,412,005 B2: This patent recognizes a system designed to create three-dimensional models of various sites using point cloud data and imagery, which aids in accurately representing project proposals such as solar installations.

These accolades underline Solo's continuous efforts to expedite and improve the accuracy of the proposal process, providing contractors with a genuine competitive edge in the ever-evolving energy market.
