Zoho Inventorysolar-SKU mastery for U.S. warehouses.
Track every panel, microinverter, battery and rapid-shutdown device by serial number, from the vendor PO in Sacramento to the install on a Houston rooftop. UL-listing flags. Truck stock as a warehouse. Tesla Powerwall and Enphase warranty auto-registration. All on the same Zoho data model as your CRM and FSM.
The solar inventory journey, wired up, end to end.
Six stages, every one of them serial-aware. Your warehouse manager stops chasing pallets. Your install crews stop guessing which truck has the IQ8+ Combiners. Your finance team stops reconciling spreadsheets at month-end.
Purchase orders to Enphase, REC, Tesla, in one click.
When your forecasted pipeline trips a reorder point, Zoho Inventory auto-drafts the PO to the correct vendor (Enphase for microinverters, REC or Q CELLS for panels, Tesla for batteries, CED Greentech for BOS). Approver signs in CRM. Vendor portal receives the EDI or PDF immediately.
Receiving dock scans every serial, fast.
Truck backs up at your Glendale or Dallas warehouse. Receiver scans the master pallet label, then triggers an ASN-driven serial intake, barcodes flow into Zoho Inventory in seconds. Mismatched quantities, damaged cartons or wrong revisions get flagged before the truck driver leaves.
Trucks are warehouses too. Loadout is auto-pulled by tomorrow's WO.
Each install truck is a virtual warehouse in Zoho Inventory. The night before, the system reads tomorrow's FSM schedule and stages the exact BOM per WO. Crew arrives at 6:50, scans the picklist, rolls out at 7:30. No "did we grab the rapid-shutdown?" texts at 9 AM.
Serial-tracked install. Every part bound to the customer.
On the roof, crew scans each panel serial as it goes up. FSM ties the serial to the customer's record in CRM. The truck inventory decrements in real time. Five years from now, when that customer calls about panel 11, you know its serial, manufacture date, install date and installer, instantly.
Auto-register every serial with the manufacturer.
The moment the install closes, Zoho Inventory fires off the warranty registration to Enphase Enlighten, SolarEdge, Tesla Energy and the panel manufacturer's API. Your customer's 25-year panel warranty, 25-year microinverter warranty and 10-year battery warranty are locked in, no human typing serials into four portals.
Bad microinverter? RMA in three clicks.
When monitoring flags a dead microinverter on year 4, Desk creates a ticket, FSM dispatches the swap, and Zoho Inventory generates the RMA back to Enphase with the original serial, install date and proof-of-defect photo. The replacement unit ships back, gets received against the open RMA, and the customer's record updates automatically.
What Zoho actually charges you per month.
Zoho's 2026 U.S. list pricing for Inventory. Pricing is per organization, not per user, most U.S. solar customers land on Professional or Premium.
Trucks count as warehouses in Zoho Inventory. If you run 6 install trucks + 1 physical warehouse, you need Premium or higher. We size it for your real footprint, not a sales-led upsell.
Three Inventory rollout packages. Pick yours.
One-time implementation. Defined scope. Defined go-live. After we hand over, you only pay Zoho's monthly license.

Six Inventory features that matter for U.S. solar.
Pre-built solar taxonomy
800+ SKUs already configured, REC, Q CELLS, Silfab panels; Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla inverters; Powerwall, Encharge batteries; rapid-shutdown, conduit, racking, BOS. You start populated, not empty.
UL listing flags
Every SKU carries its UL listing (UL 1703, UL 1741-SA, UL 9540 for batteries). If an AHJ inspector questions a component, the listing certificate is one click away.
Serial + batch tracking
Every panel, microinverter, optimizer and battery is tracked by manufacturer serial. Bound to the customer at install. Available for warranty claims, RMA, panel-level diagnostics, for 25 years.
Truck stock = warehouse
Each install truck is a virtual warehouse. Loadouts pre-staged the night before. Crew picklists in the mobile app. Spares on the truck don't disappear into a "where is it?" black hole.
Vendor BOMs
Residential 8 kW + Enphase: a defined BOM. Commercial 250 kW with SolarEdge: a different defined BOM. Battery-attach: another. Sales rep picks the system type, PO + truck loadout build themselves.
Warranty + RMA flows
Auto-register warranties with the manufacturer API at install close. Auto-generate RMAs with serial + defect photo at failure. Track replacement-in-transit. Done in three clicks, not three days.
Why solar warehouses pick us.
We bring 800+ pre-built solar SKUs.
Day 1 of your project, our SKU library imports into your tenant, panels, inverters, batteries, BOS, racking, conduit, MC4s. You don't waste 40 hours typing SKUs. You start with everything in.
Real warranty API integrations.
We don't promise "we'll integrate someday." Our Enphase Enlighten, SolarEdge mySolarEdge and Tesla Energy warranty endpoints are live in production at 180+ customers. They've fired 400,000+ auto-registrations.
Trucks-as-warehouses is the default.
Other inventory consultants struggle to model your install fleet. We architect it on day one, each truck a sub-warehouse, picklists driven by tomorrow's FSM schedule, spare-parts auto-replenish on return.
U.S.-based, fixed-price, defined go-live.
Glendale, CA team. English-speaking implementers who know UL, NEC and the difference between a 200A and 400A main service panel. Sprint at $4,200, Pro at $9,800, Multi-WH at $18,200. Real dates.
The honest FAQ.
How do you handle multiple physical warehouses?
Is a truck really a warehouse?
How does the Tesla Powerwall serial flow work?
What happens with returns to manufacturer?
Can you import our existing serial history?
What about commercial / utility-scale BOMs?
