Zaras for Solar
Site assessments, approved plan sets, and the interconnection that decides when a system counts.
A residential array is not finished when the crew drives away — it is finished when the utility grants permission to operate, and everything between those two dates is paperwork somebody has to chase. There is no monthly series for this trade to point at, and since the federal residential credit expired for expenditures after 2025 there is no deadline to sell against either. What is left is arithmetic, and arithmetic needs a record.
What carries the job: the assessment the approved plan set the date the meter turned.
An assessment filed once, a utility application chased for weeks, and the date a system finally counts — three different jobs, one operating record.
Assessment filed
Roof, shading, and service recorded once, in the place the design and the utility application will both read from.
Permission to operate
The date the system actually starts counting, recorded against the job.
Solar money comes from two engines — the assessment that everything downstream cites, and the interconnection clock that runs on long after the crew leaves. Every time the interconnection clock stalls, what unsticks it is something already sitting in the assessment file. Zaras runs both from the same record.
Recorded once, cited for the rest of the job.
The half of the job that runs after the crew leaves.
The record, not the whiteboard — every system from the assessment to paid, with nothing re-keyed into a second system.
Site assessments — roof, shading, and service recorded once and cited by everything downstream.
Approved plan sets and permits — the plan set the authority actually approved, not the one drawn first.
Equipment records by serial — what went on the roof, tracked for the warranty.
Utility applications tracked to PTO — submitted, tracked, and chased until permission to operate lands.
Inspection dates — recorded on the job, findable months later.
First-month production against the estimate — the arithmetic the customer agreed to, checked against what the system actually did.
Deposits and financing records — the payback math and the paperwork that backs it, on the same record as the install.
Invoicing, payments, QuickBooks sync — billing pulls straight from the record the assessment opened, no separate system to reconcile.
Assessment → design → permit → install → interconnect → paid — every system, one record.
Plans and prices are public on the pricing page — no sales call to get a number.
Yes. Invoices and payments flow straight into QuickBooks — no double entry, no bookkeeper fights.
It’s yours, both directions. Customers, open utility applications, and PTO dates come in with you when you join — and everything exports, any time.
Yes — commercial arrays with per-site assessment records and NET-terms billing live on the same record as your residential book.
