The Platform

One platform.
Every part of the deal.

Everything you need to design, price, and send solar proposals — in one platform.

Designed in alignment with South African engineering standards — including NRS 097-2-1 inverter compliance guidance, NERSA SSEG registration requirements, LiFePO4 battery design parameters, and 25-year yield modelling — then automated into a branded, client-ready PDF with engineering-grade financial projections.

System Sizing Engine
Applies strict engineering thresholds to size solar arrays, batteries, and inverters from actual load profiles. Outputs are validated against South African performance benchmarks and optimised for yield, compliance alignment, and cost efficiency.
🔋
Battery Intelligence
Selects the optimal LiFePO4 configuration through multi-gate engineering validation: capacity headroom, depth-of-discharge targets, and autonomy runtime — prioritising designs that maximise battery cycle life. Industry-standard round-trip efficiency applied throughout.
💰
Financial Modelling
Engineering-grade 25-year financial projections using NERSA-aligned tariff escalation scenarios, NPV and IRR analysis, industry-standard O&M and insurance provisions, and full battery lifecycle cost modelling. All outputs are indicative estimates subject to actual site conditions.
📄
AI Proposal Engine
Every output feeds an AI-generated, branded PDF proposal. System specs, financial projections, NERSA SSEG alignment status, environmental impact, and AI commentary — one click, client-ready.
📊
Proposal Portal
Review, download, and email proposals from a dedicated installer dashboard. Client pipeline, proposal status, and engagement tracking — all consolidated in one place.
📈
Pipeline Analytics
Conversion funnel, follow-up intelligence, financial portfolio view, environmental impact aggregation, and inverter compliance alignment analysis — across your entire client base.
Decision Engineering

Designed to produce the
right answer every time

Every number in a Nova Metrics proposal is derived from structured engineering models — not rules of thumb or spreadsheet estimates. Defensible, repeatable, and aligned with South African standards by design.

01
Load-based solar sizing
Solar is sized to cover daytime consumption plus overnight battery recharge — not a rough multiple of peak load. Required energy is calculated using industry-standard performance ratios and system availability benchmarks appropriate for the South African context, then matched to the most suitable panel configuration from your live catalogue.
Solar Array
02
LiFePO4 battery design validation
The platform applies strict multi-gate engineering checks before accepting a battery configuration: capacity headroom relative to the evening load requirement, depth-of-discharge within design targets for LiFePO4 longevity, and guaranteed autonomy runtime. Designs are optimised to maximise battery cycle life. Industry-standard round-trip efficiency is applied throughout.
Battery
03
NRS 097-2-1 alignment check
The inverter is sized with an engineering safety margin applied to peak load. The DC/AC ratio is validated in alignment with NRS 097-2-1 parameters — ensuring the design supports compliance with South African grid interconnection requirements. Every uploaded inverter is also automatically cross-referenced against the South African Master Inverter Compliance Register (2,440+ certified models).
Inverter · NRS 097-2-1
04
365-day net yield modelling
Annual production estimates apply performance ratios, system availability factors, and panel degradation assumptions aligned with South African industry norms. Location-specific irradiance data is drawn from a database covering 150+ South African locations. Specific yield is benchmarked against national performance references as a quality indicator.
Yield
05
Engineering-grade financial projections
25-year indicative projections are built using NERSA-aligned tariff escalation scenarios, industry-standard discount rates for NPV analysis, IRR modelling, and full lifecycle costing — including maintenance provisions, insurance estimates, and battery replacement assumptions. All financial outputs are estimates and will vary based on actual site conditions, tariff changes, usage patterns, and financing structure.
NPV · IRR · Financials
06
Engagement pipeline intelligence
After a proposal is sent, the platform tracks email opens, proposal views, PDF downloads, and estimated time-on-page — subject to user consent and applicable privacy policies. Installers see a follow-up priority signal — Hot, Warm, Cold — so they know exactly who to contact and when.

Proposal Engine

A proposal that
closes the deal

The moment you hit Generate, the platform sends every calculated figure to our AI pipeline. It writes the technical narrative, financial commentary, and call-to-action — then renders it into a branded PDF with your company identity.

Clients receive a document that reads like it was prepared by a professional engineering firm — because it was built on exactly that standard of structured, repeatable data.

  • Branded with installer logo and colours
  • System specs, NPV/IRR indicative financials, and environmental estimates
  • AI-written commentary in every section
  • NERSA SSEG alignment status indicated automatically
  • Delivered in seconds, engagement tracked automatically

Important Information & Disclaimers

Financial projections. All financial outputs produced by Nova Metrics — including estimated savings, payback periods, NPV, and IRR figures — are indicative projections only. They are based on the inputs provided by the user, modelled tariff escalation scenarios, and industry-standard assumptions. Actual results will vary based on real-world site conditions, actual electricity consumption, utility tariff changes, system performance, financing structure, and other factors outside Nova Metrics' control. These outputs do not constitute financial advice, and Nova Metrics makes no representation or warranty as to their accuracy or completeness. Users should seek independent financial and technical advice before making any investment decision.

Regulatory alignment. Nova Metrics designs systems in alignment with NRS 097-2-1 and NERSA SSEG guidelines as understood at the time of platform development. The platform references the South African Master Inverter Compliance Register for informational purposes. Nova Metrics does not certify regulatory compliance on behalf of any installer, client, or installation. Regulatory requirements may change, and it remains the sole responsibility of the installer to confirm compliance with all applicable standards, municipal requirements, and utility connection conditions before any installation proceeds.

Data & privacy. Proposal engagement tracking (including email open detection, document views, and download activity) is subject to applicable privacy legislation, including POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act, No. 4 of 2013), and requires appropriate user consent. Installers are responsible for ensuring that their use of engagement tracking features complies with all applicable data privacy obligations and their own privacy policies.
