Solar Scheduling Shouldn't Be the Bottleneck
If any of these sound familiar, you don't need more spreadsheets. You need one app that carries each system from the signed quote through install and commissioning to the service plan after it.
Multi-Day Installs Fall Behind Schedule
A 2-3 day residential install gets rained out on day one. Now every project behind it shifts, and your scheduler is on the phone for an hour untangling the calendar.
With FSM Navigator®:
Multi-day job scheduling with cascade visibility. When one project shifts, you see the downstream impact on the board. Reschedule affected jobs in a few clicks instead of a dozen phone calls.
Maintenance Visits Get Lost in the Backlog
You've got hundreds of systems that need annual panel cleaning. Install season hits, and suddenly maintenance gets deprioritized. Customers call when output drops, and you're playing catch-up.
With FSM Navigator®:
Recurring maintenance jobs auto-generate on your schedule. They don't disappear behind new installs. Set lead times, get alerts, and balance workload between new projects and existing customers.
Permit and Inspection Coordination Is a Mess
Utility approval, city permits, final inspections — each project has 3-4 milestones that depend on external parties. Tracking them in spreadsheets means one slip delays the whole project.
With FSM Navigator®:
Keep permit numbers, approval status, and inspection dates in custom fields or notes on the job, and attach permit documents to the work order on Enterprise. Everything stays linked to the project so your crew has everything they need on-site.
One App from First Call to Renewals
A solar company sells a system once and services it for decades. FSM Navigator runs the whole arc in one app, from site survey request to annual inspection, for teams from 2 installers to 200 and beyond, with no user limit on paid plans.
- Get the customer. Homeowners request a site survey from your online booking page, and each request waits for your approval. After the install, every customer is asked for a rating, and everyone who rates can leave you a Google review. (Pro and Enterprise)
- Win the work. Keep your equipment, labor and materials in the pricebook, then send a quote with good, better and best system options. The homeowner e-signs it and pays the deposit online, and the signed quote becomes a job, or a work order on Enterprise, at the agreed price and tax. (Pro and Enterprise)
- Do the work. Intelligent dispatch assigns installers and service techs by skills, workload and availability (auto-assignment on Pro and Enterprise). Job forms carry the commissioning checklist, and the customer signs at completion (Pro and Enterprise). The iOS and Android app works offline on every plan.
- Get paid. Invoice from the finished job on every plan. On Pro and Enterprise, customers pay by card or bank transfer (ACH) in their portal, a paid deposit is credited to the invoice automatically, and invoices sync to QuickBooks Online.
- Keep the customer. Service agreements with a service address schedule their own cleaning and inspection visits, and membership plans give members their pricing and can charge the card on file automatically (Pro and Enterprise). On Enterprise, an agreement can cover the panels and inverters on site, and the renewal carries that equipment forward.
- Run the business. Job profitability shows the margin on every completed job against labor, parts and mileage (Pro and Enterprise). Work orders for multi-phase installs, inventory and assets are on Enterprise.

Does FSM Navigator work for installations and maintenance?
Yes. Whether you run multi-day residential installations, commercial rooftop projects, or recurring panel maintenance, FSM Navigator handles all of it. You can set SLA timers per customer or per job, give every job a priority level, and adjust the labor rate on each invoice. Many solar companies manage new installs, warranty work, and ongoing maintenance from a single account without any friction.
Is there a free solar scheduling app?
FSM Navigator's Free plan includes full scheduling and dispatch for up to 5 users — forever. Paid plans (Pro and Enterprise) include a 14-day free trial. You get a schedule board that updates automatically, a mobile app for your crews, push notifications for job updates, and basic invoicing at no cost. It's not a stripped-down demo — it's a real tool that small solar companies run their businesses on every day.
Can I track permits and inspections per job?
Yes, as work-order steps and attachments. On Enterprise, add the permit and inspection as steps on a work order and attach permit documents and approval letters. On Pro, record permit numbers, approval status, and inspection dates in custom fields or notes on the job. Everything stays linked to the project so nothing gets lost. When the inspector arrives, your crew has everything they need on their phone.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks?
Yes. The Pro plan includes a direct QuickBooks Online integration. Turn on automatic sync and invoices, customers, and payments flow over every 15 minutes — your bookkeeper stops dealing with manual data entry and your books stay current.

FSM Navigator automatically detects when a technician becomes unavailable and reassigns their active jobs to the next best available technician based on skills, location, and workload. Zero manual intervention required.
