  • 3D Shading Analysis
  • Financial Analysis and Projections
  • Installer Job Sheets
  • Two-way SMS and email communications
  • CRM & lead management system

Our interface is modern, well-designed and intuitive. We have received over 1000 user ratings with an average of 4.6/5 stars. Installers like Pylon because the work surface is 2D, which makes it easier to navigate, but you can still place and manipulate 3D objects.

Another reason solar installers choose Pylon, is because it is the only solar design software that you can sign up for and just start using no credit card required.
