BIPV Platform

The roof is the panel.

SolarSlate is beard.Energy's building-integrated photovoltaic platform. Field execution and software tools built for contractors who install solar roofing systems the right way -- permitted, documented, and built to last 25 years.

What SolarSlate Is

Two pillars. One platform.

SolarSlate runs on two tracks that feed each other: the field execution side, where licensed electricians and roofers install UL 7103-certified BIPV systems, and the software side, where digital tools turn roof geometry into permit-ready documentation and 3D assembly simulation.

🏗️
Field Execution
Licensed installation of building-integrated photovoltaic roof systems. Solar shingles, BIPV panels, and hybrid assemblies installed to code with full permit documentation and interconnection support.
🖥️
Software Platform
Roof Scan Pro captures exact roof geometry as exportable JSON. Assembly Studio consumes that geometry to simulate layered BIPV assemblies in 3D before a single shingle ships to the job site.
The Software

From scan to permit set to simulation.

The SolarSlate software suite eliminates the gap between what a roof actually looks like and what ends up in the permit drawings. Geometry captured in the field drives everything downstream.

✓
SolarSlate Roof Scan ProCaptures precise roof geometry as Schema 2.0 JSON exports with stable plane IDs, verified GLB coordinate alignment, and full dimensional accuracy.
✓
Assembly StudioReact + Three.js layered roof assembly simulator. Imports Roof Scan geometry and lets you simulate the full BIPV assembly before ordering materials.
✓
SolarPlan IntegrationScan geometry flows directly into SolarPlan to generate NEC 2020 Article 690-compliant permit plan sets -- one-line diagrams, cover sheets, system details.
✓
Schema 2.0 ExportsStructured JSON output consumable by downstream tools, estimating software, and the full BeardPowered platform.

SolarSlate installations are performed by licensed electricians and solar installers with hands-on experience on Tesla Solar Roof, Enphase, SolarEdge, FranklinWH, and sonnenCore+ systems.

Field Experience

Built by someone who installs these systems.

SolarSlate is not a software company that hired some installers. It is a licensed electrician and solar installer who built software because the tools available were not good enough. Every feature in the platform was shaped by what actually happens on a roof.
