SiteCapture

06/18/2026

"For Solar EPCs, our livelihood is beholden to not only the quality of a photo, but the composition of the photo, the shape, even the angle... SiteCapture is the tool we use to meet the stringent requirements of our financing partners."

Many solar installers underestimate the depth of milestone review.

Financing partners are underwriting the system, not just spot-checking it. Every milestone packet is a small audit, and the reviewer needs unambiguous proof that the system is built, configured, and labeled the way the contract says it is.

That means precise photo documentation requirements for every milestone submission. A blurry photo, the wrong angle, an incomplete label, or other small errors can trigger rejections that cost solar installers dearly:

- Expensive extra truck rolls just to retake photos
- Hours wasted searching for the right photos to resubmit
- Weeks of delayed cash flow
- Lower financing partner status
- Customer satisfaction issues

Milestone funding rejections are throttling too many solar businesses, and SiteCapture's field ops platform is here to fix that, with:

- Prebuilt mobile form templates mapped to your financing partner’s milestone requirements to ensure lender-ready documentation the first time

- Required fields that block completion until all critical items are captured before crews leave the site

- Example photos and capture guidelines embedded directly in the form

- Automatic photo organization that makes finding the right photos a breeze

- Direct integrations with financing partners like Palmetto LightReach that makes submitting milestone packets as easy as 2 clicks

During peak season, Fastrac Energy Services, a leading Gulf Coast solar EPC, manages 40+ projects a week.

They shared how SiteCapture helps their ops team handle a workload of a team 2-5x their size and keep projects moving on schedule through site surveys, installs, and lender milestones:

→ Conditional logic, NEC-labeled sections, and example photos that standardize high quality documentation across experienced crew members and new hires alike

→ Blurry photo warnings that catch bad images before they become a repeat truck roll

→ Milestone packets submitted to Palmetto LightReach in just 2 clicks, replacing the time-consuming photo download-and-upload routine

The result: faster funding, far fewer truck rolls, and every project organized throughout a hectic busy season.

"If SiteCapture went away tomorrow, it would be disastrous. Truck rolls would quadruple. Errors would increase exponentially... The manual work SiteCapture absorbs keeps our team focused on higher-value projects."

- Justin Duncan, Director of Design and Engineering at Fastrac Energy Services

Thanks to Justin and the Fastrac team for sharing how they keep crews efficient and funding on schedule across Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi!

This week the SiteCapture team got off Slack and onto the pickleball courts for our annual offsite in sunny Berkeley! ☀️ 🏓

Always a blast to get our team, partners, and families together in person.

After Big Dog Solar implemented SiteCapture, site survey time was cut in half, first-time Palmetto LightReach approvals jumped, and repeat truck rolls for missing photos dropped sharply.

"With SiteCapture and your Palmetto LightReach integration, our milestone funding process is 1000% better than it was a few months ago."
- Alec Nelson, IT Systems Administrator at Big Dog Solar

The Mountain West installer now runs every site survey through SiteCapture templates with conditional logic, required photos, and example shots built in, so technicians capture exactly what the financier needs before they leave the job.

Milestone reports go out clean, approvals come back faster, and Big Dog gets paid on the timeline they planned around.

Big thanks to Alec and the Big Dog Solar team for their partnership and for sharing how they're scaling across Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Oregon!

TPO financing is becoming critical for residential solar, but most installers are still treating documentation like an afterthought.

That gap is getting expensive.

After OBBBA, margins are tighter and cash flow matters more than ever. At the same time, TPO now drives a significant share of residential solar, and financing partners require fast, accurate, and complete documentation to release funds.

The result is simple:
Incomplete or inconsistent field data = delayed approvals and slower cash flow.

The companies that win in this environment are doing a few things differently:
• Standardizing field documentation from day one
• Capturing lender-ready photos and data in real time
• Eliminating rework and resubmissions before crews leave the site
• Integrating field workflows directly into financing systems

We’ve seen firsthand how tightening documentation discipline can materially improve outcomes, including reducing funding timelines from weeks down to just days in some cases.

This is no longer just an ops problem. It’s a revenue and cash flow lever.

If you’re running solar operations right now, it’s worth pressure testing your current process.

- Where are approvals getting stuck?
- How often are you resubmitting?
- How much is that actually costing you?

AI is finally starting to solve one of solar's most stubborn soft cost problems: project documentation, photo verification, and quality control.

Our Founder & CEO, Kamal Shah, sat down with Solar Power World to discuss why generic AI tools fall short on solar jobsites, and what happens when AI actually understands plan sets, TPO financing requirements, PTO workflows, and the reality of a rooftop installation or O&M work order.

"Context-aware AI automation, equipped with true knowledge and understanding of specific industries and use cases, is no longer a luxury. It is quickly becoming a strategic requirement for any organization looking to improve quality, operate efficiently, and scale reliably."

Some numbers worth keeping in mind:

💸 Soft costs are roughly 38% of residential solar installation costs (per the U.S. DOE benchmark). For many installers, that's the largest remaining profitability lever.

⏳ TPO financing now drives more than half of U.S. residential solar. When documentation is missing or non-compliant, milestone funding is significantly delayed.

🚛 According to Solar Power World, avoiding a single return truck roll saves about $475. For a typical solar team, that adds up to more than $17,000 a year.

That's where SiteCaptureAI comes in. It checks photos against plan sets in real time, pulls equipment data right off labels, and alerts crews about problems before they leave the jobsite.

We recently crossed an important milestone at SiteCapture: more than 500,000,000 project photos captured on our platform. 📸 🎉

Those photos represent over 10,000,000 jobs completed and more than 5,000 companies that rely on SiteCapture to document, verify, and manage work in the field.

We view this milestone as a reflection of the trust our customers place in us to support critical workflows across their operations. Every photo, form, and completed job represents real work in the field and real outcomes for your teams and your business.

Our focus remains on helping field service organizations operate with greater consistency, efficiency, and visibility as they grow. As the demands and complexity of field operations continue to increase, we are committed to building the tools our customers need to scale effectively without compromising quality.

Thank you to all of our customers and partners who have trusted SiteCapture to support your operations. We look forward to continuing to build alongside you!
