I used to managed a solar company. I know what it’s like..
It feels like spinning a thousand plates at once: installs, surveys, DNOs, staff, logistics, marketing.
I remember the chaos — leads coming in from five different platforms, nothing properly tracked, and no clear way to see what was working.
We had apps for quotes, apps for calls, Google Sheets for follow-ups, and inboxes overflowing with untagged enquiries. It was messy, expensive, and very stressful.
It's impossible for you to have your eye on everything and everyone.
In the end we hired a software specialist to come into our business and map out our entire sales and marketing process.
He and his team went away and built a CRM designed specifically to meet the exact challenges we faced as a solar company trying to scale.
It cost over £25k+ and took six months to build.
But once we launched, that’s when everything changed!
Suddenly, I had full visibility. I could see lead sources, sales rep activity, conversion rates, pipeline value — all in real-time.
With that clarity came a massive increase in efficiency.
The systems, processes and automations that we implemented are ultimately what allowed us to scale from one install team installing 2 installs a week to three install teams installing three a week each!
This was nearly ten years ago.
Over the past ten years of being in the solar industry I have seen literally hundreds of solar companies go into liquidation.
Most of these contractors didn't go under because of poor installations, they got into trouble because they didn't have the right systems in place to handle growth.
It's understandable.
Chance are, you are either an electrician or a roofer trying to get off the tools. Building software and sales systems isn't what you're used to.
That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help high quality contractors avoid the potentially fatal pitfalls of poor systems by implementing a custom built CRM

"£120M in new project enquiries within 12 months!"
"We had a meeting with Rory to discuss setting up a sales funnel and CRM system. The team at Grid Pilot wrote the sales copy, created the web page and customised Grid Pilot to track and monitor everything. Within a 12 month period we had generated over £120M in new project enquiries." CEO, Solfit - Ewen Estill
"The AI element alone has been an unbelievable addition to our business "
"So much of Grid Pilot is automated now! It’s like having a full-time office team handling the sales and follow-ups." Owner, Temple Solar - Ed Frost
"New customer enquiries no longer get missed or forgotten about"
"Our sales process was very inefficient, lots of leads were getting forgotten about, calls weren't being made. It was costing us a fortune in lead gen. Grid Pilot tracks everything. I finally feel like we have control over our sales pipeline. Thank you." Owner, Solar X-Press - David Hurst
"Organised, Predictable, Growth"
"The CRM didn’t just help us grow, it helped us grow properly. Every job booked in, every quote followed up, nothing missed. I can't imagine what would have happened if we'd tried to grow using our old systems, if you can call them that lol." Director, David Norman - Deege Solar
"Brilliant, we finally have visibility and order."
"Managing a team of over 30 engineers and delivering multi-million-pound solar projects means I don’t have time for disjointed systems or missed follow-ups. Before Grid Pilot, we were constantly chasing spreadsheets and patching together data from five different platforms. It was workable — but it wasn’t scalable.
Since implementing Grid Pilot, everything changed. I now have full visibility of every quote, every lead, every sales rep — in real time. Our conversion rate has jumped, admin time has dropped, and the team is operating at a level of clarity we’ve never had before.
This system has become the backbone of our operation. If you’re serious about growth and leading from the front, I can’t recommend it enough." Director, Neil Sinclair - Flow & Ebb
