Nova Metrics
Solar Intelligence
One system covering the full job lifecycle: design the system, generate the proposal, run the install, hand it over, and clear the municipal SSEG paperwork. Built specifically for South African residential and small commercial solar, up to 100 kW DC.
Solar, battery, and inverter sized directly from a client's load profile, not a rule of thumb. Every design runs through multi-gate validation before it's accepted: DC/AC ratio, battery depth-of-discharge, autonomy runtime, and inverter compliance are all checked against Nova Metrics design rules and the type-tested inverter register before the numbers reach a proposal.
25-year projections built on NERSA-aligned tariff escalation, panel degradation, and battery replacement cost. On commercial proposals, NPV and IRR are calculated at a 12% discount rate, not a marketing number. Every figure is marked clearly as an indicative estimate, because that's what it is.
The engineering runs first. The proposal narrative is written around numbers that have already passed validation, then delivered as a branded PDF with your logo, your colours, and your contact details on every page. Sent by email, or by WhatsApp with a ready-written message and link, with email opens, views, and downloads tracked automatically.
Once a proposal is accepted, the job moves into a structured workspace: site visit, install prep, installation checklist, sign-off, and handover. Every stage unlocks once the previous one is complete, which gives you a clean audit trail from first contact to signed handover.
SSEG approval isn't one national process — every municipality runs its own requirement list, its own checklist, and often its own submission portal. Nova Metrics resolves each job to the client's real municipality and shows the real, sourced checklist for that municipality, rather than a generic template applied everywhere. Where a municipality's process isn't confirmed yet, the platform says so honestly instead of guessing.
Live today: City of Cape Town, City of Ekurhuleni, Drakenstein, George, Knysna, Mossel Bay, Overstrand, Saldanha Bay, and Stellenbosch. City of Johannesburg and City of Tshwane are available but are being re-verified against their current official processes.
When a site visit turns up something the original proposal didn't account for, a new revision is generated with the exact delta calculated against the accepted specs. The client gets a secure approval link, and the job stays locked until they respond. Nothing proceeds on an unapproved change.
