Emmitt welcomes Jill and Logan from AlertHub, a platform built to help residential solar companies pivot from installs to service. They aggregate inverter alerts across major brands, layer in a homeowner portal and payments, and streamline RMAs—so small teams can manage bigger fleets with fewer truck rolls. We unpack the origin story (from edtech to solar), policy headwinds, pricing and onboarding, and a live case where proactive alerting led to a fast fix and fresh referrals.

Key Takeaways:
• Multi-brand alert aggregation in one dashboard
• Proactive > reactive: fewer truck rolls, happier homeowners
• Built-in homeowner portal, service plans, and payouts
• Simple onboarding; subaccounts for outsourced monitoring
• Residential focus now; commercial support on deck
• Supported today: Enphase, SolarEdge, APsystems, SMA (with more coming)
