Tech Stack
Pylon (Design) ↔ HubSpot CRM ↔ [T&H Custom Integration] ↔ ServiceM8 (Field Ops)
Demand was accelerating. Their team was small. And the systems they were relying on to manage that growth were held together with spreadsheets and email.
Before T&H, every single install required Uncommon Solar's team to manually bridge three disconnected systems: Pylon held the technical design data (panels, batteries, site layout). Spreadsheets tracked the job pipeline. Emails communicated the specs to the installers. Every job required someone to manually extract data from Pylon, enter it into a spreadsheet, and then email the technical details to the field team — 30 minutes of admin work, per install, every time.
With 16 installs scheduled in a typical week, that 30-minute manual handoff was consuming 8 hours of staff time — a full working day — every week. That's time that could have been spent on sales conversations, customer relationships, or quoting new business. Instead, it was being lost to data re-entry that the right system would eliminate entirely.
Without an integrated system, Uncommon Solar faced a hard ceiling on growth. You can't scale a solar installation business on spreadsheets and email. Every new installer, every new job, every new region added complexity that the existing process couldn't absorb.
The risk wasn't just inefficiency.
HubSpot as the Backbone

Pylon ↔ HubSpot — Quote Faster, Win More
Pylon is where Uncommon Solar designs their solar systems. It's the source of truth for every technical specification — the panel model, the battery type, the inverter, the site layout. Before T&H, that data had to be manually extracted and re-entered into the quoting process. Now, the Pylon ↔ HubSpot integration means the moment a system design is completed in Pylon, it flows directly into the HubSpot deal. The quote is generated faster. The data is accurate from the start. And the sales team can follow up with a polished, technically precise proposal without touching a spreadsheet.

HubSpot ↔ ServiceM8 — Zero Manual Handoff to the Field
The moment a customer accepts a quote in HubSpot, a complete job is automatically created in ServiceM8 — including the client's details, the site address, and critically, the full technical specification that came from Pylon. The installer opens their ServiceM8 mobile app on-site and sees exactly what they need to install, in exactly the right location, with exactly the right equipment.

The Post-Install Engine: From Completed Job to Long-Term Customer

- Solar Panel Cleaning
- Additional Panel Installation (system expansion)
- EV Charging Station Installation
These aren't cold outreach campaigns. They're timely, relevant offers delivered to customers who have just experienced a great install — at the exact moment they're most receptive to expanding their solar investment.
