Hi {{first_name}},

I know that at a smaller solar company like {{company_name}}, the design and permitting work often falls on a few key people. That means every hour spent chasing AHJ requirements or redoing structural calcs is an hour not spent on the next project.

I have been talking with solar designers and engineers at companies your size, and the biggest frustration I hear is the time lost to repetitive documentation and back-and-forth with permitting offices. Many of them have cut that cycle in half by automating the parts that do not actually require engineering judgment.

If you are curious about what that looks like in practice, I put together a short walkthrough that takes about five minutes to review. Would it be helpful if I sent it over?

No strings attached, just thought it might save you some time.

Either way, keep up the good work at {{company_name}}.
