The best solar ERP in India is the one that follows material from purchase order to rooftop and money from quotation to bank, with serial numbers and project-wise costs, and that your team can set up in days. Compare your options on the checks below. RAYVO publishes this guide, so treat it as a checklist and test every product, including ours, against it.
The kinds of options
- Accounting software such as Tally or Zoho Books: very common in India, strong on GST and books. Stock, serial numbers, projects and the sales pipeline are separate jobs you add around it.
- General ERPs such as ERPNext, Odoo or SAP Business One: flexible and wide, but a solar business has to configure serials, project costing, subsidy and DISCOM steps itself, and setup takes time.
- Solar-specific platforms: built around the solar job from the first lead to after-sales service. RAYVO is one of these. Verify each vendor's current features yourself.
Check 1: stock by warehouse, with transfers
Stock should be held per product and per warehouse, with every transfer recorded.
Check 2: serial numbers from receipt to installation
Scan serial numbers on receipt, issue them to a project, and look up any serial to see its customer and warranty.
Check 3: purchase orders that follow the quotation
An accepted quotation should reserve material and turn any shortage into a purchase requirement, and goods received should update stock in one way only.
Check 4: project-wise profit
Material issued, expenses and payments should land on the project and give a profit figure without a month-end spreadsheet.
Check 5: GST and the books
- HSN codes and CGST, SGST or IGST by place of supply.
- Payments that land on the right invoice.
- A ledger and bank balance that update themselves.
Check 6: warranty, service and AMC
Warranties tied to serial numbers, service tickets and AMC renewals keep the after-sales business visible.
Check 7: setup time and who does it
Ask for a plan that your own team can follow in days, with your product list imported from a spreadsheet, not a consultant project of months.
