Saturday · 7:46 p.m. · winding down, the trucks are back
An AI Operations Partner for solar installers, and for the service trades built on the same bones.
Missed calls, slow proposals, the permit chase, the same admin work every week. Examples of what Good Favor builds to take it off your team's plate.
With the residential credit gone, bought leads don't pencil the way they did. We mine your install base and historical job data for what actually predicts a sale: geography, system age, battery and service signals, referral patterns, commercial adjacency. Outreach built from your own installs, not a purchased list.
A voice agent that picks up after-hours and weekend calls, qualifies the homeowner, books the site survey, and writes it back to your CRM. When an existing customer calls about a system that's down, it opens a service ticket instead of losing the call to voicemail.
Milestone tracking across the whole line: site survey, design, permit, interconnection, install, inspection, PTO. The system flags what's stalled and with whom, invoices at each milestone, and keeps your CRM, accounting, and scheduling tools sharing data on their own.
A dashboard that shows margin by job type in real time: residential, commercial, battery, service. Per-job costs that count the second truck roll, the change order, and the week the job sat waiting on the utility. Monthly ROI report tied to baseline metrics, weeks ahead of your close.
Most shops price from one person's head. We move that pricing into a system: solar-specific templates, adder and battery logic, past-job lookups. The proposal goes out the same day whether or not that person is in the office.
SOPs, recorded training, an internal champion equipped to run and extend every system we build. No subscription to us, no dependency on us. We engineer ourselves out of the business on purpose.
10X return is the floor. Every engagement is sized against the dollar value the systems are expected to throw off, and the price is set from there.
10X
We estimate the dollar value the systems will create before we propose them. The price gets set from there. If we can’t see the path to 10X, we don’t pitch the work.
The Diagnostic that opens every engagement is the first deliverable. From there: a working system in your stack, then a trained team running it, then a final phase of advisory time on what's live. Systems land in the right order, too: the pipeline you have gets stable before AI goes on top of it. We engineer ourselves out by design, so the operation runs without us when the engagement ends.
Every engagement names a future owner. We equip one person on your team as the internal champion, document every system, and engineer ourselves out. Engagements end with your team running the systems on its own.
Every system gets a dollar number attached before we build it, against a baseline we capture in Diagnostic. Once it's live, you get a monthly ROI report against that baseline. Numbers in dollars, every month, no sales filter.
Service business owners spend their day inside the work. Most of what we do is help name and organize what the owner already knows the operation needs. We bring the AI. The owner brings the answers about their shop. The Diagnostic that opens every engagement is mostly listening.
Field Notes · Engagement in progress
We’re mid-engagement with a $12M employee-owned solar installer in the Mountain West. The Diagnostic measured roughly a third of office time as automatable and sized $300K+ a year of office work for the systems now being built. Baselines and projections, published as they stand, with results reported monthly once the systems go live.
A good operations hire beats us on most of this table, and costs more than the engagement. The last row is the one we would argue about.

If yours is not here, email is the fastest way in.
If you’re running a solar installation company, or another service business doing $5M to $50M in revenue, and there’s a specific problem eating real money, we’d like to hear about it. Missed calls, the permit chase, a quoting bottleneck, a CRM that ends at closed-won. Tell us the shape of the problem and we’ll come back with a 10X ROI target and what the work would cost. Email is the fastest way in.
