GreenSketch Introduces its Next Generation Platform

GreenSketch, the world’s leading end-to-end solar design platform, has launched a new
product update that introduces AI-powered tools, an intuitive new interface, and
streamlined workflows.

These new features are designed to make solar system design, quoting, procurement
and project delivery more accurate and efficient than ever before.

Anson Zhang, Founder and CEO of GreenSketch, says, “Our mission has always
been to simplify and accelerate the solar design and deployment process. With these
new updates, GreenSketch has become both a fully integrated business platform and the
leading battery design platform, enabling solar businesses to work smarter and deliver
even greater value to their customers. ”


Coming Soon: New Features

Introducing Emily SmartQuote: AI-Powered Lead Engagement
GreenSketch will soon introduce Emily SmartQuote – an AI-powered marketing agent
designed to help solar installers capture, engage, and qualify homeowner leads more
efficiently.

Installer benefits include:

  • Automated pre-sales outreach – Engage homeowners instantly without manual follow-ups.
  • Boosted conversion rates – Help prospects visualise their home’s solar potential, increasing trust and interest.
  • Time and effort savings – Let AI handle lead capture and qualification in the background.
  • Exclusive lead ownership – All leads from an installer’s Emily link or QR cod remain fully owned and managed by them.

Smarter Designs to Power Business Growth
GreenSketch’s redesigned interface delivers a cleaner, more intuitive user experience.
The update allows sales, design, and operations teams to complete projects faster.
Design Tools include:

  • Roof Detect – Automatically detects and refines roof outlines with precision.
  • 3D View: Brings your design to life – explore roofs, trees, and shadows from
    every angle to optimise solar layouts with confidence.

A Leading Battery Design Platform
The new Battery Wall Templates feature enables installers to select from pre-set
templates or create their own for future use. Once selected, the system auto-generates a
customisable battery wall layout, dramatically improving design speed and accuracy.

One-Click RFQs and VPP Income Calculations for an Easy End-to-End Process

  • One-Click RFQ for Procurement – Instantly export BOMs, send RFQ emails,
    manage vendor information, and track procurement activity, all in one place.
  • VPP Income Calculation: Installers can now input estimated VPP income once
    a battery is added. The system then displays the projected value directly in the
    proposal, helping strengthen the financial return case for customers and drive
    higher conversion rates.

Better Team Collaboration

Platform users can now invite team members, assign roles, and configure permissions to
improve collaboration and protect sensitive data.

Since its official launch earlier this year, GreenSketch has rapidly grown its user base
and continues to drive adoption across Australia’s solar industry. These latest updates
strengthen its position as a critical tool for installers, designers, and developers.

Ends.
