I’ve been in solar sales for years and feel like a have a great understanding of the process start to finish. In my mind the process is:

Close
Site survey
Engineering
Permits
Install
PTO

If I do a site survey engineering comes back quick and then it’s a drag waiting for that approval before we can schedule the install. What’s the real bottleneck? Just waiting on approval and no one knows it’s done? Apparently our crm and canvassing tool is rolling out a feature that checks and notifies the team on the permit status and if it’s approved but would that speed up the process or is the local county always slow to process or does my company suck at follow through?

I’m making good money (on paper lol) but waiting is killing me. Any ops people in here?
