RE+ 2025 in Las Vegas was a milestone for Solo and the residential solar industry. Over three packed days, our team connected with sellers, installers, and partners across the industry. The booth was busy, the conversations were energizing, and the feedback confirmed something we’ve been hearing repeatedly: the market is hungry for accuracy, transparency, and smarter ways to sell solar.
At the same time, the event reflected the industry’s resilience. Even with mid-year challenges, solar remains the most available and affordable energy supply in the world, and the buzz in Vegas reinforced that the market is ready to move forward.
But if you didn’t make it to RE+, here’s what we shared on the floor, and why it matters for your business.
The Most Trusted Proposals in Solar
Over 6 million proposals and 900,000 installations are powered by Solo. Every proposal is highly accurate, fully editable, and delivered in minutes. Sellers trust our proposals to close deals faster. Lenders trust them to approve financing without hesitation. And homeowners trust them because what they see is what gets built.
We’ve paired AI-powered efficiency with expert verification to ensure every proposal is accurate, compliant, and build-ready. Integrated financing delivers instant quotes from leading lenders, while real-time editing and sales enablement tools allow teams to adapt on the spot. All documentation lives in one place, keeping everything trackable and accessible so handoffs between teams are seamless.
There’s no rework or delays: just clean handoffs and confident deals.
DirectDesign 2.0: Accuracy at Every Step
We also unveiled DirectDesign 2.0, an innovative way to create solar proposals with greater accuracy and control. The refreshed interface and powerful new features help your team move from design to installation with less guesswork and more confidence.
- Tree Management: Add, trim, or remove trees directly in your proposal to model shading conditions and even simulate trimming or removal.
- Street View Integration: Access Google Street View inside DirectDesign to verify placement, height, and width of trees and obstructions without leaving the proposal.
- TSRF-Focused Design: Shade values have been replaced with Total Solar Resource Fraction, giving a clearer, more accurate view of solar potential.
Unlike quick sketches, DirectDesign 2.0 delivers verified, build-ready designs that pass utility, AHJ, and lender checks the first time.Want the full breakdown? Check out What’s New with DirectDesign 2.0 for a complete look at the updated UI, tree management, TSRF, and Street View features.
Battery-Only Proposals: More Ways to Win
Solar systems don’t stop at panels anymore. Storage is now at the center of homeowner demand, and Solo is responding. That’s why we’re preparing to launch our new battery-only proposal feature (coming soon).
This new option gives your team a way to showcase storage savings, performance, and financing as a standalone product, with no panels required. It’s built for current solar owners ready to add storage to their system, as well as for homeowners who want backup power without adding solar.
By offering battery-only proposals, you can meet the market where it’s heading: more flexibility for homeowners, more opportunities for sales teams, and stronger positioning in competitive markets.

What we shared at RE+ shows how Solo is evolving: smarter tools, more accurate designs, and new ways to serve the changing needs of today’s solar market.
Our conversations in Vegas will guide how we refine our roadmap, deepen integrations, and strengthen client engagement. More importantly, they confirmed what we already knew: the industry is asking for trusted, accurate, and simple sales experiences, and that’s exactly where we’re focused.
We’re building for clarity, speed, and trust across every step of the sales process. And we’re just getting started.
