Building Pale Blue Dawn to connect solar tools together.

[Steven ☀️ Growth, Solar, & AI @stevensomething]

After 6 months in stealth, I’m thrilled to share Pale Blue Dawn and our AI integration tool Bridgit!

We've already facilitated $22m in volume!

We're starting off transforming the solar industry’s $15.2B market by bridging Web2 with @base, helping solar companies reduce cancellations, streamline installations, and move projects faster than ever.

I turned the exact process (and CV) I used to land a visa-sponsored role in New York from NZ into a free & open tool.

Can't wait to hear your success story 🎉

Used Google's Stream AI to audit my website in real-time - it's wild... and free... and might just be making professional expertise available to everyone 💫

@solar_chase Looks like I've got my 2025 reading list sorted!

@JohnBerger_CEO @marylandmatters Spot on about decentralized energy empowering consumers. The data showing families choosing between utilities and basic needs is heartbreaking. The transition to solar isn't just about clean energy - it's about giving power back to communities. 🌱

@EnergyToolbase Fantastic breakdown of the ACC updates! That DSGS configuration for storage projects is particularly interesting - it's going to be fascinating to see how this shapes installation strategies in 2025. Thanks for making these complex changes more digestible!

[Steven ☀️ Growth, Solar, & AI @stevensomething]

@Scanifly No more change orders or revisions is huge!! Reducing time to install is so important for industry reputation too.

Will reach out, would love to be able to help our installers integrate with y'all.

DMs open to solar companies ready to scale, reduce cancellations, and bring more roofs under the sun.

Also excited to explore other industries looking to connect their tools together through APIs.

Let’s redefine what’s possible and make solar the seamless, trusted choice it was always meant to be. 🌱✨

[Steven ☀️ Growth, Solar, & AI @stevensomething]

We were recently featured on @SolarPowerWorld for our innovative approach.

This is just the start—we’re expanding to more platforms, refining AI-driven PDF parsing, and helping solar companies achieve full-stack integration in record time.

[Steven ☀️ Growth, Solar, & AI @stevensomething]

Why integrate with new infrastructure platforms?

• Instant, automated project tracking
• Transparent financing and compliance
• Immutable records for ultimate trust
• Scaling solutions that can adapt to any market

Our vision is to create a frictionless solar ecosystem where everyone wins.

It’s not just about speed—it’s about giving everyone involved real-time visibility.

Customers know exactly where they stand. Installers see what needs doing next. Sales reps get immediate insights. Financing, permitting, design—everything synchronized, drastically cutting delays.

[Steven ☀️ Growth, Solar, & AI @stevensomething]

In just 3 months, one early adopter:

• Reduced cancellations by 27.6%
• Achieved a 51x return on investment
• Saved 7-figures in potential lost revenue
• Increased installations in 60 days by 8x
• Cut install time nearly in half (105 → 55 days)

Meet Pale Blue Dawn’s solution: Bridgit, our AI supported integration platform that seamlessly connects the entire solar tool stack in days, not months.

By simplifying integration and automating critical steps, we’re turning solar’s biggest inefficiencies into opportunities for growth.

[Steven ☀️ Growth, Solar, & AI @stevensomething]

The result? ~50% of signed contracts never reach installation.

That’s $8.2B in unrealized revenue every year.

All because of cumbersome workflows, fragmented tools, and a lack of reliable communication between companies and

[Steven ☀️ Growth, Solar, & AI @stevensomething]

The opportunity is massive:

• 800,000 residential solar installs/year
• 10,000+ solar companies
• $19,000 average installation
• $15.2B+ in potential market
• 70% of costs tied up in operations

But today’s solar landscape is messy—93 disconnected tools, zero transparency, and frustrated customers.
