A narrow voice agent scoped to shift handover alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at solar owner-operators, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Solar Handover Recorder is a voice agent aimed at solar owner-operators, covering shift handover. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (95) and held back by moat (35). Typical pricing is $9.8k–$146k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$38k.
Solar teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. Every solar team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A voice agent that handles shift handover end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
