Operational Realities

Technical Limitation

While highly accurate, estimation coverage varies by utility region; however, internal algorithms now supplement gaps in standard Solar API (Sunroof) data.

Growth Bottleneck

High conversion rates at the top-of-funnel create a bottleneck if your CRM isn't configured for instant, automated rep-assignment.
