Where solar billing breaks down
The day-to-day friction every solar owner recognizes.
Solar deposit collection slow
$10K+ deposit by check takes 5-7 days. ACH lands next-day for 0.8% capped at $5.
PPA + lease invoice complexity
PPA agreements have monthly billing tied to kWh produced. Need flexible recurring + variable amount support.
Monitoring contracts not auto-billed
Annual monitoring contracts need automatic renewal billing or they slip.
How Smarfle handles solar billing
Recurring billing, auto-charge saved cards, Stripe Connect with 0.5% platform fee, automatic overdue reminders.
Recurring billing on auto-pilot
Set up monthly, quarterly, or annual service plans. Customer signs up once, Smarfle bills the same card every cycle, no manual invoicing required.
Save card on file
Stripe Customer + saved payment method per client. After their first payment, future charges run off-session — no link to click, no card to re-enter.
Auto-charge saved cards
Daily cron auto-charges saved cards for recurring invoices. Owner gets confirmation email when payment lands; client gets a receipt. Failed cards trigger an email asking the client to update.
Stripe Connect (your account, not ours)
Money goes straight to your bank via Stripe Connect Express. We charge 0.5% platform fee on top of Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢. ACH for invoices over $1k drops to 0.8% (cap $5).
Automated overdue reminders
Smarfle auto-marks invoices overdue past due date and sends email reminders to the client. Workflow automation can fire SMS reminders too.
