Solution

Quote solar jobs and sync to Xero automatically

Stop wasting hours manually entering quotes and invoices into Xero. You're already juggling site visits, permits, and installation schedules — the last thing you need is recreating the same data twice because your quoting system and accounting software don't talk to each other. Our solar quoting tool with Xero integration eliminates double data entry, so you can focus on winning more jobs instead of drowning in paperwork. When you win a $15,000 solar installation, that data flows from quote to invoice to your books automatically.

Double handling every quote

You're creating quotes in one system, then manually re-entering everything into Xero for invoicing and accounting. It's time-consuming, prone to errors, and frankly a waste of your expertise that should be spent on growing the business. Take last week — you probably spent 3 hours transferring quote details, customer info, and line items into Xero just to get invoices out. That's 3 hours you could have spent quoting two more jobs. Multiply that by every job you win, and you're looking at a full day lost to admin every week.

Inconsistent pricing across jobs

Without integrated systems, different team members quote different prices for similar jobs. This inconsistency hurts your margins and creates confusion when customers compare notes with neighbours who got different quotes. Your apprentice quotes a 6.6kW system for $8,500 while your foreman quotes the same setup for $10,200 because they're working from different price sheets. When word gets around the neighbourhood, you end up defending why Mrs Johnson paid more than Mr Smith next door. Integrated pricing keeps everyone on the same page and protects your reputation.

Lost quotes and follow-ups

When your quoting and accounting systems don't talk to each other, potential jobs slip through the cracks. You lose track of which quotes need following up, and promising leads go cold while you're buried in admin work. That $12,000 installation you quoted three weeks ago — did you follow up? Is it sitting in your quote folder while the customer went with someone else because they stayed in touch? Without automatic tracking, you're flying blind on your pipeline and missing revenue that's already within reach.

Step by Step

How This Actually Works

Monday morning used to mean sorting through quote folders and manually entering last week's won jobs into Xero. You'd spend the first two hours of your day recreating quotes as invoices, checking panel quantities, and hoping you didn't miss any line items. Now your Monday starts with coffee and checking which quotes converted over the weekend — everything's already in Xero waiting for you.

When you quote a 8.2kW installation with premium panels and micro-inverters, every component and labour hour automatically flows into your pricing database. Win the job, and that quote becomes a professional invoice in Xero within minutes. Your customer gets their invoice faster, you get paid sooner, and your accountant sees clean, consistent data come BAS time.

The real game-changer happens three months later when you're reviewing which types of solar jobs actually make money. Instead of guessing, you can see exactly which panel brands, system sizes, and installation types deliver the best margins. That data helps you quote smarter, not just faster — turning your experience into profitable insights that compound over time.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with my existing Xero chart of accounts for solar installations?

Yes, QuoteWolf maps to your current Xero setup including custom accounts for panels, inverters, installation labour, and STC revenue. Your existing chart of accounts stays intact — we just populate it automatically instead of you typing everything twice.

What happens to my solar pricing database when I integrate with Xero?

Your pricing stays exactly where it is, but now everyone quotes from the same database. When you update panel prices or labour rates, every team member sees the change immediately. No more explaining why different customers got different prices for identical systems.

Can I still generate separate invoices for design deposits and installation completion?

Absolutely. You can split invoicing however your solar business works — design fee upfront, 50% deposit on contract signing, and final payment on commissioning. Each invoice automatically syncs to Xero with the correct job tracking codes and GST treatment.
