Built for quick service calls, not multi-phase solar jobs.

Housecall Pro is a polished, low-cost tool for booking and running short home-service jobs across trades like HVAC, plumbing, and cleaning. It is not built for solar, has no production monitoring, and several tools solar teams rely on, like sales proposals and GPS, are billed as separate add-ons.

SolarProjeX treats solar as the whole job: multi-phase installs, SolarEdge and Enphase monitoring, branded reports, field payments, and crew paysheets included rather than unbundled, on a platform built by a solar contractor.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can Housecall Pro handle solar installs?

It handles short service calls well, but solar installs are multi-phase, and there is no solar workflow or production monitoring. Key tools like proposals and GPS are paid add-ons.

What is included with SolarProjeX that costs extra elsewhere?

Branded reports, field payments, crew paysheets, reviews, and customer SMS are part of the solar workflow rather than separate add-ons.
