Solvera lets your customers build a complete solar system, panels, inverters, racking, storage, and balance-of-system, with every part matched and a priced bill of materials at the end. It runs on your Shopify store and is built for solar distributors and resellers, not for homeowners drawing panels on a roof.
When a store lists parts separately, buyers assemble the system in their heads and often get it wrong or leave parts out. A system builder assembles it correctly for them, with the right quantities and the parts that are easy to forget.
Customers move from panels through inverters, racking, storage, and BOS, with each step matched to the last. The result is a coherent system, not a cart of disconnected products from your catalog.
Balance-of-system parts, the cables, connectors, rapid shutdown devices, and mounting hardware that bare orders miss, are included by the build rules, so the system is complete.
Racking counts, string sizing, and per-component quantities are calculated from the design, not estimated. The bill of materials reflects what the system actually needs.
The build ends in a single itemized, priced bill of materials drawn from your Shopify products, ready to quote, share, or add to cart.
The failure mode of selling solar as loose products is the incomplete order: panels and inverters in the cart, half the balance-of-system missing. A real system builder closes that gap.

racking counts and per-component quantities come from the design, not the customer's guess
the build ends in a single priced bill of materials, not a pile of separate line items to reconcile
A system builder is most useful when both your customers and your sales team can use the same one.
Customers can build a complete system themselves on your storefront. For larger accounts, a sales rep opens the same build in sales mode, adjusts components and quantities, adds internal-only parts, and sends a branded proposal. The build rules are the same in both, so the system stays complete and correct either way.

Solvera is a commerce system builder for solar businesses. It is not a homeowner roof-layout or shade-analysis tool, and the distinction matters for who benefits.
The difference between listing solar parts and offering a system builder is whether the customer leaves with something complete.

It is a tool that lets a customer assemble a complete, compatible solar system, panels, inverters, racking, storage, and balance-of-system, with correct quantities and a priced bill of materials. Solvera runs this on your Shopify store for distributors and resellers.
No. Solvera builds a complete, compatible, priced system for purchase. It does not draw panels on a roof or run shade analysis. It is a commerce system builder for solar sellers, not a homeowner design tool.
The build rules include the balance-of-system parts and calculate quantities from the design, so the cables, connectors, mounting hardware, and devices a bare order would miss are part of the finished system.
Yes. Customers build a complete system themselves on your storefront and end with a priced bill of materials they can quote, share, or add to cart.

Yes. Solvera is manufacturer-agnostic. Customers can build a system across brands within the compatibility rules you define for your catalog.
