Use the REC SunSnap app to create a record of all your REC solar panel installations that you can access and edit from anywhere – even from the rooftop. You can create and view your solar projects, upload photos and even manage users. The REC solar panels in your installation are registered simply by scanning or keying in barcode numbers. Separate profiles can be defined for each installer in your company, so you can see at a glance who has logged which projects. The app’s map overview shows exactly where your projects are located – and you can upload photos to create a gallery of your REC solar successes. If you’re a certified REC Solar Professional, the app also enables you to log the five years’ extra product warranty (a total 25 years) that you’re entitled to offer customers. You’ll then be sent a PDF with the warranty certificate for forwarding to customers. The app is easy: all the functions are accessed via a central dashboard. There’s also a help function for extra. Here’s how to register a project: · Create your account in the app in a few easy steps · Assign a name to your project · Register the panels – scan or enter the barcode numbers · Enter the system owner · Indicate the location – or let the app use GPS data · Key in the start of operation · Upload your photos And that’s all!
