ABOUT

Sarvadhi X Solnce: We Made Solar EPC Smarter, Faster, and More Affordable For End Users

Solnce Energy is a solar EPC company dedicated to making solar energy accessible and affordable for residential and commercial clients. From system design to installation, they handle the entire solar project lifecycle while ensuring seamless vendor coordination and compliance with government policies.

Despite working with multiple IT firms, they couldn’t find a solution that truly understood the complexities of the solar EPC industry. Frustrated by the time and budget wasted on ineffective systems, they approached Sarvadhi with one last hope. 

They didn’t just need another software provider—they needed a partner who could simplify their operations, automate critical processes, and build an ERP Solution that could scale with their vision.

Challenges

Expanding from a state-level business to a nationwide solar EPC provider presented significant challenges:

1

Untangling Complex Workflows

Solnce was navigating an evolving business model, and they were still defining their internal workflows. Without a clear structure, scaling operations efficiently was a challenge. Our first goal was to bring clarity and build a system that could adapt to their processes as they evolved.

2

Building a Smart Bidding System

Solar projects required two distinct bidding models: automated bidding for residential customers and live, real-time bidding for industrial projects. The challenge was to create a seamless and efficient system that could handle both while ensuring fair competition among vendors and transparent pricing for customers.

3

Keeping Up with Ever-Changing Solar Regulations

Government policies, subsidies, and tax benefits in the solar industry frequently change, impacting project costs and compliance. We needed to develop a dynamic solution that could automatically adapt to regulatory updates without requiring manual intervention or complex system changes.

4

Designing a Dynamic Pricing Model

Payment structures in solar projects varied significantly. Some customers paid in installments, others preferred full upfront payments, and vendors had different pricing models based on project scope. The system needed to support all payment preferences while ensuring accuracy and flexibility in financial tracking.

5

Managing Massive Project Data Effortlessly

Solar projects involve extensive documentation, including quotations, vendor details, compliance paperwork, and payment records. Without a centralized system, tracking and managing these crucial details was inefficient. The challenge was to build a scalable ERP solution that could streamline project data management and improve operational efficiency.

6

Automating Location-Based Pricing

Solar project costs fluctuate based on geography due to varying government subsidies, vendor availability, and installation charges. To eliminate the complexity of manually adjusting prices, we needed to implement an automated location-based pricing system that ensured customers received accurate quotes based on their region.

To overcome these hurdles, Solnce joined hands with Sarvadhi to develop centralized EPC software for solar, integrating automation, dynamic pricing, and compliance management into a single, scalable solution.

The development process was carefully planned and executed in phases to ensure efficiency and scalability: 

1

Understanding the Pain Points

Before writing a single line of code, we sat down with the Solnce team to understand their biggest struggles. From a complex project management system to pricing inefficiency, we mapped out the gaps that needed to be filled.
2

Bridged the gap with a Prototype

Instead of jumping straight into development, we built an interactive prototype. This helped Solnce visualize the system in action, refine features, and make smarter decisions before investing in full-scale development.
3

Building the Core – The MVP Development Stage

To get Solnce up and running quickly, we focused on the most critical features first. We developed an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that included a functional ERP system along with Customer and Vendor Apps to streamline operations.
4

Automation in Bidding and Pricing Management

Manual bidding and pricing adjustments were a huge headache. So, we automated the entire process—eliminating errors, saving time, and making pricing dynamic and accurate.

Solutions

1

Auto Bidding System For Residential Solar Projects

We developed a smart auto-bidding system where customers can enter their requirements, and the system does the rest—running a bidding process among vendors and presenting results in under a minute.

  • Instant Price Comparison: Customers see bids in an easy-to-read graphical format.
  • Predefined Vendor Pricing: Vendors set pricing rules and drop-price bids dynamically.
  • Zero Manual Intervention: Customers can select the best vendor instantly.
2

Live Bidding For Industrial Solar Projects

For large-scale industrial projects, we built a real-time bidding platform where vendors compete live.

  • Admin-Managed Bidding: The admin invites vendors and controls bid settings.
  • Dynamic & Transparent Process: Features like bid extension time, drop amounts, and start/end time customization.
  • Graphical Insights: Admins can track bids in real time for better decision-making.
3

Seamless Adaptation to Changing Solar Policies

Solar policies, including subsidies, tax rates, and pricing regulations, change frequently. To keep Solnce Energy ahead, we built a dynamic policy management system that allows instant updates without technical intervention. Admins can modify subsidies, pricing, and tax parameters directly from the dashboard

4

Dynamic Pricing & Payment Flexibility

Managing payments in solar projects is complex, with customers having unique payment terms, methods, and schedules. Some prefer full upfront payments, while others opt for staged payments via online transfers or cash. To streamline this, we developed a dynamic pricing module that automatically adjusts payment schedules based on customer preferences. The system seamlessly tracks milestones, supports all payment combinations, and generates accurate receipts at every stage—ensuring a hassle-free, transparent, and efficient payment process.

5

Location-Based Pricing for PAN India Expansion

Solar pricing and regulations vary across states and even cities, making manual management impractical. To solve this, we built a location-based pricing system that automatically adjusts rates and vendor options based on the customer's PIN code. Whether in Mumbai or a small town in Rajasthan, customers get accurate, region-specific pricing instantly. This automation eliminated errors, streamlined operations, and made scaling across India effortless for Solnce.
