Homeowners who buy rooftop solar can track both the installation process and PV panel performance once their system is online with a free app<\/a> from three-year-old software technology startup, Bodhi<\/a>. The app makes buying into rooftop solar much more user-friendly.<\/p>\n

Austin-based Bodhi<\/a>, which just announced the closing of $4 million in financing led by Boston-based Clean Energy Ventures<\/a>, a venture capital firm that funds early-stage climate tech innovations, claims it has built the solar industry\u2019s first fully customized customer experience platform. <\/p>\n

There are a number of apps<\/a> that monitor rooftop solar performance after installation, but Bodhi\u2019s monitors the installation process, too. (If you have used another app that tracks solar installation, let us know in the comments section what it is and whether you liked it.) <\/p>\n

Bodhi\u2019s app integrates with a solar provider\u2019s customer relationship management (CRM) and project management tool and keeps customers updated with a personalized project tracker and automated updates via text, email, and in the app. Bodhi works with such solar providers as SunCommon<\/a> and A.M. Sun Solar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
