PermitSolar is a platform designed to streamline and automate the document management and regulatory paperwork process for solar companies. It provides an intuitive interface to manage projects, automate document creation, and ensure regulatory compliance.

The platform is tailored for administrative staff in solar companies, simplifying the previously time-consuming task of filling out regulatory documents by hand. PermitSolar saves time and effort, allowing companies to focus on what matters most – delivering quality solar solutions to their customers.

Key features

PermitSolar is built around three main sections:

These sections work together to provide an efficient, user-friendly experience for managing solar projects and automating regulatory document creation.

Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base is where users begin their journey with PermitSolar. When logging into the platform, users are greeted with a welcome screen that offers a brief walkthrough of the platform and an optional guided tour via tooltips. Users can navigate to the main sections from here.

Creating projects

In the Knowledge Base, users create project folders for each solar project. Each project corresponds to a solar customer or installation, making it easy for solar companies to manage multiple projects. Inside a project users can upload all relevant project data, such as PDFs, images, technical drawings, or unstructured data. This data is essential for filling out regulatory documents later.

Project Status Tracking

Users can delete or rename projects and use filters to easily find projects at different stages of completion.

Document Hub

The Document Hub allows users to search for regulatory documents that are already available on the platform. These documents can be filtered by type (permit application, energy report, etc.) or region (Zurich, St. Gallen, etc.).

If the required document is not available, users can contact PermitSolar support to add it. In the future, users will be able to upload additional documents and train the AI to handle new document types through a simple interface.

Automation Hub

Once project data is uploaded, users can move to the Automation Hub to automate the creation of regulatory documents. In this section, users select the project and document type they wish to automate. The AI then populates the document fields based on the uploaded project data.

Review and approval

After the AI fills out the documents, users can review and approve or edit each populated field. For each field, there is an AI confidence score indicating the accuracy of the AI's input. Additionally, users can view the source of the data used by the AI for verification purposes. After reviewing, users can confirm the document as complete and generate it.

Generated documents are saved in the project folder in the Knowledge Base, with the status set to "AI generated." Users can then download, print, or share the document directly from the platform.
