Congratulations! You have decided to explore how mighty powers could help you save time and effort in solar PV installations & team management. This page will support you on your very first steps within MightySolar – we hope it serves you well.
However, support@mightyfields.com is a place to look for more mighty support – don’t hesitate to use it!
You might have different roles that support your field installations – managing the process, executing quality control of fieldwork execution and client communication. Project Managers, Fieldservice Managers, Work Planners, Client Service Managers, Account Managers etc., work in the office and highly depend on the information they get from the field about the installation services.
Let’s examine how MightySolar changes daily routines and saves time and effort for your office-based teams.
MightySolar Office is a web app to oversee and manage solar PV plant field installations. With MightySolar Office, the office-based staff manages the process and executes quality control of fieldwork execution and client communication.

Projects & stages overview
A major advantage of MightySolar is that it provides a centralized location for all your project documentation and information, which helps ensure clarity and organization.
The solar PV project is built in several stages, and with MightySolar Office, you can follow these stages for each given project. These stages are marked as follows:
Site visit
Mounting
Installation
Commissioning
Deficiencies fix
Click on one of the three icons listed in the top right corner of the project list, and you will view your projects in different ways, such as a list, map, or kanban view, each with unique benefits.
Click on any of the project’s “Project Name” to access all information about the project and all the reports performed in each installation stage.

#1 If you use any existing apps (ERP, DS, CRM) from which you would like to access the documentation from the installation sites, note that we can integrate the systems. We can define your specific needs during the Mighty Process Hack – a workshop we will perform before the onboarding. However, you might also consider starting to use the system in an agile/lean way, adding your particular needs afterwards.
#2 The benefits of each manner you can overview the projects:
List view lets you see all your projects in a single, organized list format and provides a quick overview of key project details, easy sorting and filtering of projects.
Map view visually represents your projects and their locations on a map. It is helpful when scheduling a new project for the proper installation team.
Kanban view provides a visual board with columns representing different stages of your projects, allowing you to track progress and identify bottlenecks easily. It allows you to easily switch between different stages/columns based on their progress and status.
Start a project
Click “New” to start a new project. You can find it in the top right corner of the project review screen.
A new tab window will appear so you can add the core information about the project to be Project information board:
Project Name
Project Location
Assets Used
Client’s or Owner’s Name
You might also want to hear this
#1 If your process contains more obligatory information about the project, note that the system is adjustable to your needs. We can define your specific needs during the Mighty Process Hack we will perform before the onboarding.
#2 And besides, if you have the information about projects available in another app (e.g. CRM or ERP), integration can be made so that projects open with one click only.
Move from one stage to another
Each project is moving from the first stage on. The stages of your projects follow as defined in the installation process.
In some stages, projects must be moved manually from one stage to the next (stages Site visit and Mounting); in others, projects are moved automatically when the previous stage is finished (stages Electrical installation, Commissioning, Deficiencies fix).
Click the “Action button” to move the project from one stage to another. You can use the list view and click on the Action button in the 8th row of the list view. Or you can use the kanban view of your projects to have the best overview of the stages and the “Action button” present on each “Project leaflet”.

#1 Each project moves from the first stage to the last. However, in the beginning, when the project has just been created, you can move the project to any given stage.
#2 If your process contains a different set of stages, note that the system is adjustable to your needs. We can define your specific needs during the Mighty Process Hack we will perform before the onboarding.
Assign & schedule tasks
With MightySolar, your installation process has been standardized. All the field workers will have the same data capture procedure (until you decide otherwise – see the text below “You might want to hear this:”). Considering this, the tasks are defined and need to be distributed to the field technicians. You know it is time to schedule a task when the “Action button” “Schedule task” appears.
Click “Schedule task” and open a MightyFields Scheduler, where you will find all your unscheduled tasks on the left-hand side. Scheduling is flexible, like all other features in MightyFields and can be done in 4 different ways. Explore these with your contact person from the MightyFields Team.
When scheduling manually, click on the task and drag it to the proper user. This is especially appropriate when you are new to the app.
When you are happy with your scheduling (you have chosen the proper technician and the time of execution), distribute the task to the field. Doing this sends the task to the mobile device, and the technician receives the notification. The task will appear in their mobile app MightyFields.

#1 If you are in a trial period, schedule it for yourself to switch to the field technician role and test the experience of capturing the data in the field.
#2 If your process contains a different set of information you would like to capture during the installations in the field or a different process, note that the system is adjustable to your needs. We can define your specific needs during the Mighty Process Hack we will perform before the onboarding.
Client communication
Let’s see how MightySolar will affect your communication with clients.
When using MightySolar, you will instantly access all the information from the field. You can either use this information in the reports to your clients or not.
The app is designed in a way that you can:
define which information you would like to report to your clients from each particular stage;
this information can be designed in a branded .pdf report – using visuals and stylistic constants of your brand;
these reports can be sent to the clients afterwards by your office staff and/or by the system right after the work in the field has been accomplished;
the email in which your client will receive the report will also be branded – using visuals and stylistic constants of your brand and sent from your company’s email address.

#1 Details about client reporting and communication will be defined during the Mighty Process Hack we will perform before the onboarding. Note that the system is adaptable to your needs.
#2 All client reports will instantly be available for your office team within each project stage. See Project & stages overview.
Mighty Mobile
Your field technicians, field agents, installers … perform their job seamlessly when they:
execute all the tasks with a high degree of quality and professionalism;
communicate with your internal team (support office team) promptly, openly, professionally; and
communicate with your client in a way that supports the preferred feel of your brand.
With MightySolar, you can affect all of the above to a certain level. Let’s see how.
MightySolar Mobile is a mobile app to support field technicians in their job execution and communication. With MightySolar Mobile, the field technicians access all the relevant information for their work and capture the data about the executed work.
You can access MightySolar Mobile after downloading the app from:
AppStore
GooglePlay
Every user receives their username and access to the password setup page in their inbox from our mighty support team. In case you would forget the password, please follow the link Forgot password below the login area.
View tasks & pre-visit activities
When a task is sent to a field technician, they will receive amobile notification about the date and time of the scheduled visit to the client.
Opening the mobile app, on the first screen, the technicians will find a set of tasks delegated to them. They can see the tasks in date/time or location order, each valid for its specifics.
Swiping the task to the side, the technician can easily access the following shortcuts:
a telephone icon to phone the client and inform them about their visit; and
a navigation icon to let their preferred navigation app navigate them to the installation site.
Get prepared for the visit
Clicking on one of the tasks, the technician can access all the documentation they need to prepare for the visit.
They will access the following:
basic installation data – basic information about the project, assets used, assets needed to bring etc.,
data from previous stages – the executed work during the previous visits to this site,
all other documents you might find helpful for the installer – e.g. solar plant design documentation, specific instructions for new team members, specific instruction from assets manufacturers, on-face photo of the building entry etc.
Capture the data & close
The data capture must be as simple and smooth as possible for the field technician. That is why the mobile capture is designed in a way that:
The technician can only see the fields that they need to fill in depending on the data they have captured by then;
When it is possible, they do not explain and type the data to the device (they instead take a photo, edit it or choose a relevant answer from the list of possibilities);
Almost any kind of data capture is possible, but most appreciated by the users are photo capture/editing, bar code scanning (also with BT readers when needed), signature capture, table editing etc.
The task can be closed once all the obligatory fields have been filled in. Multiple visits to the installation sites often occur not for execution but primarily for poor data capture at the site. This feature assures you to manage your team’s efficiency and the quality of client communication.
On- and offline data capture
Once the task is on their mobile device, the technicians can use the app with or without an internet connection. All the data will also be saved to the mobile device while offline, and the data transfer to the MightySolar Office will happen once the internet connection is established.
If this is your first time using MightySolar?
Consider using it in all the roles:
as an office staff (managing the project, assuring the quality of field installations and client communication);
as a field technician (relying on the mobile app as support to the work that needs to be done in the field and capturing information about the work done); and
as a client (having a clear overview of services they are paying for and documents they sign on the way to installing their own power plant).
This is possible when you:
Start a new project for which you are the client – your name, surname, address, phone number and email address… is the client’s data; and
Schedule tasks to yourself as if you were a field technician – your name will appear among the users in the scheduler. Don’t worry; follow the flow presented above.
This way, you will be able to test the whole flow, including the following:
How the client receives automated email and PDF reports after the visit, and
how the field technician can call the client from the field or be guided to the location from the app.

Construction Project & Field Management App for Utility-Size Solar PV Power Plants
What will change using MightyFields
#1 Plan and review projects in one place
You will set a project plan with a few clicks in your MightyFields web application. All the necessary tasks will be shown on the Gantt chart, and you will be able to quickly adjust the plan to your client’s needs and the realities of your team.
Later, when your team starts working in the field, you will be able to see the plan and the actual progress data in one place and adapt the plan accordingly.
#2 Get detailed reports from a site with few clicks
Site managers and technicians from your (subcontracted) teams will have a mobile app that will lead them through simple data captures to report work done, issues, quality checks, asset disposal reports, etc. They will capture photos, location details, bar codes, etc. In no time, with just a few clicks.
Information will be instantly available in your web app where you have previously planned the project.
#3 Plan and act upon the actual situation
Once you have up-to-date information from the construction site, your project management can become more data-based. Getting the alert about the issue at the site, you can send tasks to the mobile apps of your teams and individuals at the construction site and review the work done.
In other words, you will stop losing time and energy (yours and of your dedicated teams) for bureaucracy and start using it for actual project management. Feels good!
What can you expect as a result?
Control over your milestones
Seeing the plan and the actual progress data in one place gives you a clear overview of your milestones.
You can get instant insight into various data from the construction site, including:
Daily work progress;
Quality control;
Material delivery;
Environmental and Health&Safety.
Higher quality of your work and efficiency of your team
Standardized planning and data capture procedures and more systematic quality controls will add to the quality and efficiency of your team. You will spend less time on data capture and get more accurate and detailed information.
The clarity of progress and open issues at the construction site will allow you to make data-driven decisions. What else do you need?
Structured data for further procedures
Data from the construction site will be available instantly for the following:
reporting to clients (auto-generated reports that you can edit),
warranty claims,
asset disposal procedures,
etc.
Later, when the construction is finished, the same data will serve as an input for asset management and efficient maintenance in the O&M phase of your solar PV power plant.
Easily on-boarded and more motivated (subcontracted) team
Giving your (subcontracted) knowledgeable and skilled workers (in the office and at the site) an app that guides them through all the procedures they need to know, you will:
reduce time spent on bureaucracy,
focus their work on knowledge-based tasks, and
motivate your team to excel at their specialised tasks.
Whether the team is yours or subcontracted, the effectiveness and efficiency will determine your client reports and final project calculations.
Flexible task management for efficient project management.
