A narrow retrieval engine scoped to compliance audit alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at solar ops teams, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Solar Compliance Auditor is a retrieval engine aimed at solar ops managers, covering compliance audit. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (90) and held back by feasibility (54). Typical pricing is $3.5k–$74k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $39k–$98k.
Solar teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes compliance audit. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Solar is growing at roughly 24% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
