Speak the system spec after a site inspection and FlowSpec drafts the quote into Xero in about 30 seconds, priced from your own Xero items. Panels, inverter, battery, mounting, STC rebate, and labour, all from one voice memo.

Sound familiar?
A residential solar quote runs long: panels, inverter, battery, mounting rails, clamps, flashing, DC isolator, AC isolator, conduit, cable, STC rebate, roof labour, electrical labour, commissioning. You get back to the office and realise the isolator enclosure or the extra conduit run slipped through. The margin tightens where the line was missed.
You priced the Trina 440W panels and the Fronius inverter in Xero weeks ago. Now you are typing those items in again by hand for this job, scrolling through your item list, copying quantities from notes on your phone. The prices are there, just slow to reach.
You ran three roof inspections today and each one needs a detailed quote. That is your evening, typing system specs into Xero while the customers wait and the faster installer gets the nod. FlowSpec is built to get those quotes out the same day.
A real job, start to finish
Here is a 6.6kW residential install: 12 panels, inverter, mounting, isolators, STC rebate, and labour, the way it runs through FlowSpec.
What you say
"6.6kW system for Sarah Chen at 42 Wattle Drive. 12 Trina Vertex S 440W panels, 1 Fronius Primo 5kW inverter, mounting rails and clamps, DC isolator, AC isolator, 15 metres conduit, STC rebate 46 certificates, 6 hours labour."
What FlowSpec does with it
About 30 seconds from the spoken memo to a draft sitting in Xero. The same job typed by hand is an evening session with a spreadsheet and a calculator.
How it works
Talk through the system spec and FlowSpec carries it the rest of the way.
Talk it through like you would on a job sheet. "12 Trina 440W panels, Fronius Primo 5kW, mounting rails and clamps, DC and AC isolator, 15m conduit, STC rebate, 6 hours labour." Record in the driveway after the site inspection or type it out. FlowSpec reads panel brands, inverter models, battery systems, and all the BOS components, so you quote before you reach the next inspection.
Every panel, inverter, battery, mounting bracket, and isolator matches to your own Xero items at your own sell prices. Your labour rate goes on, GST is applied per line, the STC rebate is applied as a credit line, and the client is matched or created in Xero from the name and address you said.
A priced draft quote lands in your Xero account with the right line items, account codes, and tax types. The customer sees a professional quote with every component itemised. Review it, adjust anything you want, and send. It is waiting in Xero by the time you reach the next site, and it learns your phrasing so the next quote reads even cleaner.
Built for how solar installers work
A spoken system spec becomes a Xero quote, priced from your own items, with the client set and the draft ready.
Say "Trina 440" or "Fronius Primo" the way you would on a job sheet. FlowSpec reads panel brands, inverter models, battery systems, mounting hardware, isolators, conduit, and cable, and it remembers the phrasing you use most so each quote reads cleaner than the last.
Every line comes in at your own sell prices, the numbers already on your Xero items. Update a panel price or labour rate in Xero and FlowSpec picks it up. So a 6.6kW system quotes at your margin, on your numbers, with the STC rebate applied as the credit line you already carry.
Say the customer name, phone, and address. FlowSpec matches an existing Xero contact or creates one, so the quote is tied to the right client the moment it lands.
A real Xero draft quote, every line with its account code and tax type, GST applied, STC rebate credited. Skip the double entry and the late copy from notes to Xero. Open it, give it a look, and send.
Works for every solar job
6.6kW to 13.2kW rooftop installs. Panels, inverter, mounting, isolators, conduit, STC rebate, and labour. Describe the full system in one voice memo and FlowSpec prices every component from your own Xero items. Each line is caught the first time, the flashing kit and the extra conduit run included.
Tesla Powerwall, BYD, Sungrow, or Enphase battery installs, whether bundled with a new system or retrofitted to an existing one. Battery unit, hybrid inverter upgrade, switchboard modifications, and the battery STC credit. Talk through the additions and FlowSpec adds them to the quote on your own numbers.
Larger arrays for warehouses, offices, and strata buildings. More panels, string inverters or micro-inverters, longer cable runs, and scaffolding or EWP hire. The material list runs longer and the chance of a missed line rises. FlowSpec catches every component from the voice memo so the quote is complete the first time.
Why solar installers choose FlowSpec
30 seconds talking in the driveway beats 45 minutes typing at the desk. The first quote in the inbox usually wins the install, and yours is already there while the other installer is still building a proposal in their design tool.
Every line priced from your own Xero items, at your own sell prices. The panels, the inverter, the mounting, all on the numbers you have already set and keep current in Xero. When your distributor adjusts a panel price, update it once in Xero and every future quote reflects it.
Talk through the whole system and FlowSpec pulls out every component, the first time. Panels, inverter, battery, mounting, isolators, cable, conduit, labour, and STC rebate. That keeps the margin you priced and avoids the follow-up call when a missed isolator shows up mid-install.
Quotes finished on the drive home from the last site inspection, with the evening yours again. You earned your CEC accreditation for the installs, and FlowSpec hands the admin time back to you.
Where FlowSpec fits
Solar design platforms like SurgePV, Aurora Solar, and OpenSolar handle system sizing, shading analysis, and financing proposals. FlowSpec picks up where the design finishes: you already know what system you are quoting, and FlowSpec carries the priced quote into your Xero account in about 30 seconds. It sits alongside your design tool, handling the Xero quoting so you handle the installs. See how it lines up on the compare hub, and if you hold an electrical licence there is a matching electrician quoting software page too.
FAQ
It depends on what stage of the job you are quoting. Design platforms like SurgePV and Aurora Solar handle system sizing, shading analysis, and financing proposals. FlowSpec handles the Xero side: you speak the system spec, and FlowSpec drafts the quote into Xero in about 30 seconds, priced from your own Xero items, with the client matched or created. For a solar installer who already knows the system they are quoting and runs Xero, FlowSpec carries the priced quote into Xero faster than typing it by hand.
Yes. FlowSpec reads panel brands and wattages, inverter models, battery systems, mounting rails, DC and AC isolators, conduit, cable runs, and labour categories. Say "12 Trina 440W panels" or "1 Fronius Primo 5kW inverter" the way you would on a job sheet, and FlowSpec matches each line to your own Xero items. It learns your phrasing over time, so the terms you use most become the ones it knows best.
Yes. If you carry your STC rebate as a Xero item (most solar installers do, as a credit line), mention it in the voice memo and FlowSpec applies it as a line item on the quote. The STC calculation itself (zone rating, deeming period, system size) is yours to determine. FlowSpec prices the rebate line from your Xero item the same way it prices panels and labour.
Yes, and Xero is the heart of it. FlowSpec drafts the quote straight into your Xero account as a real draft quote, with line items, the client matched or created, account codes, and tax types already set. It syncs your Xero items in as your price list, so every quote uses your own numbers. You will need a Xero subscription to use FlowSpec.
Yes. FlowSpec installs to your phone home screen as a web app, so you quote right after the site inspection. Walk the roof, check the switchboard, then record the system spec in the driveway. A draft quote lands in Xero in about 30 seconds. Send it before you reach the next inspection, and the customer has your quote while the other installer is still writing up their proposal.
Speak the system spec, get a priced Xero draft in about 30 seconds, on your own prices. FlowSpec runs on one all-inclusive, per-seat plan, with every feature included.
