Within minutes, PV Powerhouse produces project layout information, sample installation drawings, a stamped structural acceptance letter, and a complete parts list. The parts list can then be exported to the company's eCommerce shopping site for convenient ordering. According to the company, systems ordered online are produced and shipped out within two business days.
"The recent updates to PV Powerhouse allow installers to design commercial-scale flush mount systems, automatically generate stamped letters, and see two-day turnaround times," stated Angela Kliever, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Schletter. "We've made PV Powerhouse the most powerful tool available on the market for flush mount systems while keeping in mind ease-of-use with average design times taking less than five minutes."
