Solar Installation Route Planning Software
Solar installation companies lose hours every week to poorly planned routes. Drivant optimizes crew routes across site surveys, permit offices, and multi-day installation projects so your teams spend more time on rooftops and less time on the road.

Solar operations waste time on the road
Between site surveys, permit runs, and installation days, your crews spend too many hours driving instead of installing panels.
Scattered Job Sites
Installations span entire metro areas. Without geographic clustering, crews drive past each other's job sites, burning fuel and daylight on windshield time.
Multi-Day Project Complexity
Large installations span multiple days with different crew requirements each day. Coordinating who goes where and when turns into a spreadsheet nightmare.
Permit Office Scheduling
Building permits require in-person visits during limited office hours. Fitting permit runs into an already-packed crew schedule without wasting half the day is a constant challenge.
Heavy Equipment Transport
Panel delivery trucks, cranes, and tool trailers cannot take every road. Standard car routing sends heavy vehicles down restricted streets, wasting time on detours.
Built for solar installation workflows
Import your project list, set crew schedules, and let Drivant build the most efficient routes for every team.
Import Project Lists
Drop in Excel or CSV files from your CRM, project management tool, or sales pipeline. Drivant auto-detects addresses, customer names, project stages, and appointment details. No reformatting needed.
Geographic Crew Clustering
The optimizer groups nearby job sites together so each crew works a tight geographic zone. Site survey teams, install crews, and inspection runs all get efficient, clustered routes.
Schedule With Time Windows
Set homeowner availability, permit office hours, and crew start times. The optimizer respects every constraint and builds routes that fit the real-world schedule.
Export Crew Route Sheets
Generate print-ready route sheets with stop sequence, addresses, project notes, and ETAs. Export to Excel, CSV, or GPX for GPS navigation. Every crew gets exactly what they need for the day.
One platform, every solar operation
From the first site survey to the final inspection, Drivant routes every phase of your solar projects.
Site Surveys
Route assessors through prospective homes efficiently, hitting every appointment window while minimizing drive time between sites.
Permit Runs
Plan routes through municipal offices, fitting permit submissions and pickups into crew schedules without wasting half the day.
Panel Installation
Route install crews and equipment trucks to job sites in optimal order, accounting for heavy vehicle restrictions and multi-hour job durations.
Final Inspections
Coordinate inspector and crew schedules for final sign-offs, routing efficiently across completed installations for system activation.
A typical day with Drivant
It is Monday morning and Jenna, operations coordinator at a 40-person solar installation company, opens Drivant to plan the week. She imports 18 new site survey appointments from the CRM export and 12 scheduled installations. Drivant geocodes every address and clusters them on the map by zip code.
She creates three route types: a site survey route for the two-person assessment team, two installation crew routes for the panel teams, and a permit run that threads through three municipal offices between 9 AM and noon. The optimizer respects every homeowner availability window and office hour constraint, and each route finishes well before sunset.
Wednesday afternoon, a customer reschedules their install from Thursday to Friday. Jenna moves the stop, re-optimizes both days, and the change propagates in seconds. She exports each crew's daily route sheet to Excel with addresses, homeowner phone numbers, project notes, and ETAs. The install teams pick up their printed sheets each morning and hit the road without a single scheduling question. What used to take two hours of whiteboard planning now takes fifteen minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Drivant for solar installation routing.
Can Drivant plan routes for multi-day solar installation projects?
Yes. Create separate routes for each day of a multi-day project or plan different crew routes across multiple job sites. Save projects with all routes included and adjust day-by-day as schedules change.
How do I route site survey crews efficiently?
Import your list of prospective sites from a spreadsheet, set appointment windows for each homeowner visit, and let Drivant optimize the sequence. Survey crews spend less time driving and more time evaluating rooftops.
Can I include permit office stops in my installation routes?
Yes. Add permit offices, inspection sites, and supply warehouses as stops on any route. Set time windows to match office hours and the optimizer will sequence them alongside residential installation stops.
Does Drivant support heavy vehicle routing for equipment trucks?
Yes. Drivant supports HERE truck routing on Pro plans, which accounts for vehicle weight, height, and road restrictions. Your panel delivery trucks and crane vehicles get routes that avoid low bridges and weight-restricted roads.
Can I import my sales pipeline or CRM data into Drivant?
Yes. Import Excel or CSV files from your CRM, project management tool, or sales platform. Drivant auto-detects addresses, customer names, and project details. No reformatting required.
What export formats are available for crew route sheets?
Export routes as Excel spreadsheets with full stop details, CSV for integration with other systems, GPX for GPS devices, or print-ready manifests with stop sequence, addresses, appointment windows, and ETAs.
Can Drivant route site survey teams and installation crews on the same project?
Yes. Create separate routes within the same project for each team type. The survey route covers prospective assessments while the installation routes handle active job sites. Each crew gets their own optimized route sheet with relevant stop details.
How does Drivant handle homeowner reschedules without rebuilding the whole week?
Move the stop from one day's route to another, then re-optimize both affected routes. Drivant adjusts the stop sequence on each day to maintain efficiency. Only the changed routes need to be re-exported, so the rest of the week stays untouched.
Is Drivant useful for solar companies that also do battery storage installations?
Yes. Any job that requires a crew to visit a location on a schedule can be routed in Drivant. Set different service durations for panel installs versus battery installs, and the optimizer accounts for the longer on-site time when calculating arrival windows for subsequent stops.
