For solar panel cleaners
A solar panel cleaning estimate and invoice app
Count the panels from the driveway and send the price before you set up the ladder.
Settle fits solar panel cleaning because the price comes from the panel count and the roof. Say it out loud and Settle writes a priced estimate from your own rates. Text the estimate from your own phone, the customer approves from a link, and when the job's done they pay by card or bank to your own Stripe account. Sending unlimited estimates and invoices is free. It's iPhone only and doesn't do route scheduling or recurring service plans.
What a solar panel cleaning estimate looks like
From the driveway you say: "Twenty-four panels, single-story roof, pure water clean, plus the trip charge." Settle writes:
| Line | Qty | Price | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solar panel cleaning, pure water | 24 panel | $7.00 | $168.00 |
| Trip charge | 1 ea | $35.00 | $35.00 |
| Total before tax | $203.00 |
Example prices only. Settle uses your own rates, and marks any price it had to guess with an orange dot.
What matters in solar panel cleaning estimates
- Price per panel. Customers can count their panels, so it's a price they trust.
- Show the trip charge. A separate line makes small arrays pay.
- Roof height and pitch. Second-story and steep roofs get their own price.
- Say what cleaning isn't. It isn't an electrical inspection or a repair.
- Bird-proofing is a separate quote. List that you offer it so the customer asks.
What Settle does for solar panel cleaners, and what it doesn't
Count the panels, say the roof and any add-ons, and check any price marked with an orange dot. The estimate goes out from your own number from the driveway, and after the clean one tap turns it into an invoice with a pay link. You see when the customer opens and approves it. Payments land in a Stripe account in your name; Settle takes no cut and never holds the money.
Settle doesn't plan routes, run recurring cleaning plans automatically, or track a crew. There's no Android or web version.
Solar panel cleaning questions
What is the best estimate app for a solar panel cleaning business?
For a one-person panel cleaning business on an iPhone, Settle is free to send unlimited estimates and invoices, writes the estimate from what you say using your own prices, and pays to your own Stripe account.
Should I price per panel or per job?
Per panel with a trip charge or minimum is easy for customers to check and keeps small jobs worth the drive.
Can I bill the same customers every few months?
Settle doesn't do it automatically today. You can duplicate an invoice and text it with a pay link each visit.
Can Settle draft an estimate from photos?
Yes. Take up to 3 photos and Settle uses them, along with what you say, to draft the estimate. The photos stay with the job in the app; they aren't added to the PDF or the estimate page your customer sees.
Quote your next panel cleaning by talking.
Free on iPhone. Unlimited estimates and invoices. 7 days of Pro to try the voice drafts, and you cancel in two taps.
