Solar thermal · SPH & DHW

Built for thermal, not bolted onto a PV-only tool.

Solar pool heating and solar hot water are not edge cases in SolarProjeX — they're first-class equipment types with their own fields, forms, and diagnostic workflow, running on the same platform as PV.

Most solar service software assumes every roof is PV. Yours doesn't have to.

A lot of field service software built for solar treats PV as the whole business and forces pool heating and hot water systems into generic "other equipment" fields. SolarProjeX tracks solar pool heat (SPH) and domestic hot water (DHW) as distinct system types from day one, alongside PV — each with the fields that actually matter for that equipment.

Techs get guided diagnostic workflows for common thermal failure modes: confirming the actuator is actually in the open-to-solar position and not stuck in bypass, walking flow rate, panel condition, temperature differential setting, and run time when a system runs but underheats, and checking the differential controller set point for the local climate. It's the same troubleshooting logic a seasoned thermal tech uses, built into the job.

  • SPH and DHW tracked as their own equipment/system types, distinct from PV
  • Guided diagnostic checklists for flow rate, actuator position, and temperature differential troubleshooting
  • Customer equipment records carry thermal-specific fields, not generic notes
  • Same dispatch, forms, paysheets, and reporting as your PV jobs — one platform, not a bolt-on
  • Runs alongside PV production monitoring for accounts that install both

Built for the trade

Thermal-specific, not PV with extra notes fields.

☀️

SPH & DHW as system types

Pool heating and hot water systems get their own equipment records — not a PV record with "thermal" typed into a notes box.

🧭

Guided diagnostics

Built-in troubleshooting flows for the failure modes techs actually see: actuator stuck in bypass, low flow rate, a differential set point that's wrong for the season.

🧾

One report, either trade

Branded customer reports work the same whether the job was PV, SPH, or DHW — no separate template to maintain.

🔧

One platform

Dispatch, paysheets, permits, and payments work identically across PV and thermal jobs — your office doesn't run two systems.

Frequently asked questions

Does SolarProjeX handle solar pool heating and hot water, or just PV?

All three. SPH and DHW are tracked as their own equipment/system types with fields and diagnostic workflows built for thermal, not generic add-on fields on a PV record.

Can one tech run both a PV job and a thermal job in the same day?

Yes — dispatch, forms, and paysheets work the same across job types, so a mixed PV/thermal crew doesn't need two different tools.
