Confidential Overview · Prepared for Prospective Investors · Rev. July 2026

One builder, one wholly-owned company: Solar Service Automation.

Solar Service Automation, Inc. — 100% founder-owned — is a live operations platform for solar service companies. It ingests real-time fault alerts from 15+ providers, normalizes them into a unified 64-code taxonomy, auto-dispatches the nearest technician, and auto-generates invoices on job close. This document inventories the venture — economics, moat, ownership — and the work to make it acquisition-grade.

01

Corporate structure

A single company, wholly owned by the founder — no holding structure, no outside cap table.

Wholly owned

Operations platform · 100%
Darrin Abell — 100%. Live platform with a design partner (Precision Electric Co., Lakeside CA). Clean single-entity exposure: one company, one cap table, one owner.
An investor buys into Solar Service Automation, Inc. directly — 100% founder-owned, with no federated ownership or cross-entity dependencies to unwind.

Position sheet

The venture as a diligence record: description, value proposition, moat, pricing, profitability, ownership, stack and open items.

Economics & return thesis

Illustrative, conservative revenue ranges grounded in the company's published pricing. Not audited; not a forecast of results.

Near-term cash engine

  • SaaS subscriptions — Starter $499 / Growth $1,499 / Enterprise $1,999 per month, converting from the design partner
  • Platform fee — 10% of the service company's $29.99/system monitoring revenue (~$3/system/mo), recurring on every monitored system

Why it compounds

  • The 64-code registry — cross-provider normalization (15+ mappings) is the hard, defensible asset
  • Switching cost — deep webhook integrations and the pre-authorized fixed-price MSA model lock accounts in
  • New provider integrations extend the moat at marginal cost ≈ founder time, not capital

Read this as ranges, not promises. Figures are conservative management estimates derived from the company's published pricing and stated traction metrics; they are unaudited and are not a forecast of actual results. SaaS figures assume modest account counts converting from the current design partner.
04

Technology & infrastructure

The platform runs on a single AWS EC2 instance plus managed services — lean by design, which is both the cost edge and the diligence risk.

Web / app server

98.88.183.223 · ssh: ubuntu · nginx
  • Hosts the SSA web app (app.ssa.m8n1ac.com) and marketing site (ssa.m8n1ac.com)
  • Next.js served via systemd behind nginx; TLS via Certbot
  • Builds on-server via VS Code Remote-SSH

Managed services

off-EC2 dependencies
  • Supabase — Postgres + PostGIS, RLS tenant isolation, Deno Edge functions
  • Twilio — SMS dispatch to technicians
  • Expo — technician mobile app + push notifications
  • Stripe — automated invoicing on job close

⚠ Diligence — technology to shore up before a buyout

Resilience
A single web/app EC2 hosts the production platform — a single point of failure. No documented HA, automated backup, or DR runbook for that box.
Secrets & IaC
Confirm centralized secret storage/rotation vs. per-server env files; codify infra (Terraform/Ansible) so the stack is reproducible and valuable.
Tenant isolation
Supabase RLS is the isolation model — document and audit it for buyer confidence.
Observability
Confirm uptime/error/data-quality monitoring across the instance and managed services.

The raise

Capital hardens the platform and converts the near-term revenue ventures — it does not fund ten ideas at once.

Why the return compounds
  • 01
    The registry compounds. The 64-code cross-provider normalization registry (15+ provider mappings) deepens with every integration — the hard, defensible asset.
  • 02
    Recurring revenue on every system. SaaS subscriptions plus a 10% platform fee on monitoring revenue — every monitored system pays, every month.
  • 03
    Design partner in place. Precision Electric Co. is live on the platform, converting from pilot to paid.
  • 04
    Lean cost base. One EC2 instance plus managed services runs the platform; capital hardens the stack rather than paying for scale that isn't needed yet.
