How much soft-cost waste could your team be carrying?

Solar teams bleed revenue through disconnected tools, manual permit tracking, and coordination overhead. This calculator models the size of that leak so your team can see where better operating data would matter most.

Scenario model only. It is not a Solar1 customer-result claim.

Your numbers

Adjust to match your team

Soft-cost leak is modeled at 2.3% of project value per active project per team member. The recovery line uses a 68% scenario so you can pressure-test what better operating data might be worth.

Where the 2.3% comes from

The calculator uses a conservative planning assumption: a small share of project value can disappear into permit rework, invoicing delays, and manual data re-entry when each department runs in a different tool.

Why 68% recovery

The recovery estimate is a scenario, not a customer-result claim. It shows what becomes possible when permit status, milestone billing, and job-cost updates live on one record instead of in separate spreadsheets.
