GreenLancer to use SolarGrade software to digitize and standardize field operations for its fast-growing solar repair and remediation services
GreenLancer is raising solar quality standards across the U.S. by implementing SolarGrade software for its residential and commercial solar field services. By managing field operations and reporting in SolarGrade, GreenLancer aims to bring incomplete and underperforming systems online quickly.
“We chose SolarGrade because their team’s deep understanding of solar PV quality is embedded within their intuitive software platform,” commented Pat McCabe, COO of GreenLancer. “Unlike every other app we tested, SolarGrade is purpose-built for solar field technicians and office teams to complete service calls correctly.”
Since the launch of its nationwide home solar repair services in August 2025, GreenLancer has built a network of nearly two hundred field service partners to support “orphan systems” whose original installers are out of business, leaving owners without support to finish the installation or provide ongoing solar operations and maintenance (O&M). Demand for GreenLancer’s solar field services is surging from homeowners, businesses, and financiers acquiring complex orphan portfolios with incomplete systems at varying stages of construction.
“Fast, accurate fieldwork is critical for businesses and homeowners with orphan PV systems that are not yet operational. At the same time, every jurisdiction and financier has complex requirements that must be satisfied before systems are commissioned and approved for operation,” said Lauren Durbin, Director of Field Services at GreenLancer. “We chose the SolarGrade app because it helps enforce those requirements while still maintaining speed and consistency in the field.”
Delivering construction, commissioning and interconnection services for incomplete PV systems in all fifty states is an administrative and technical challenge. Documentation for key components, warranties, and permits is often unavailable or erroneous, which delays fieldwork and increases costs. Similarly, solar O&M is challenging for aging projects that lack complete service records. Capturing all the photos and data required during each service call is vital to returning orphan systems to full production and profitability.
“When solar and storage fieldwork is overlooked and poorly documented, costly failures and mistakes are common. SolarGrade eliminates these oversights,” commented David Penalva, CEO and cofounder of SolarGrade. “As GreenLancer’s solar field operations software provider, we applaud and support their work to transform orphan systems into high-performing assets that stand the test of time.”
