I help $20M+ solar companies build the customer portal I wish I had so they save more time and generate more lifetime value per customer | CEO & Co-Founder of Sunvoy

About

Solar installers spend $1,000s acquiring customers. Then hand them to a manufacturer app the day the system goes live. Customer data splits across five tools. Marketing doesn't know when installs finish. Referral checks take weeks. Revenue slips through the cracks. The 20-year customer relationship becomes a 20-day transaction. I help solar CEOs fix that. I'm Hervé, Co-Founder & CEO of Sunvoy — a white-label customer portal and fleet monitoring platform built for solar installers managing 300+ systems, and former CEO of a solar installation company we scaled from zero to $12M. What we do: → Give your customers a branded app with your logo, not the inverter manufacturer's → Manage your entire solar fleet from one dashboard → Automate referrals, reviews, service calls, and reporting → Turn O&M from a cost center into a 20-year revenue engine → Access all your customer and system data via a single API Why we built it: Joe and I scaled our previous solar company from zero to $12M in revenue and 60+ employees. We lived the CRM chaos, the referral mess, and the ops bottlenecks firsthand. Sunvoy is the tool we wished we had. We built it with a simple principle in mind: Focus on what you do best, automate the rest. As a result: ✅ 50+ solar companies across 3 continents ✅ Customers seeing 24% referral rates and $3.24M in referral-driven pipeline ✅ Support ticket increases of only 7–13% when onboarding legacy customers ✅ Automated monthly reporting: from 4 hours to 4 minutes and so much more… Before Sunvoy, I co-founded Belgium's first solar car in 2005 — designing and racing it 3,000km across Australia. Since then, I've worked across IT consulting, strategy consulting, and business development in multiple businesses. But solar kept pulling me back. Now I'm fighting climate change with code.
