GoHighLevel for Window Cleaning and Solar Panel Cleaning: Automate Pane Counts, Routes, Weather, Maintenance
TL;DR
Window and solar cleaning lose profit when quotes lag, routes zigzag, and wind or rain force last minute changes. GoHighLevel captures every lead, counts panes with photo prompts, prices by pane and ft²/m², batches routes by zone, applies weather logic, collects payments, triggers reviews, and books maintenance plans. Less admin, tighter days, higher repeat rate.

Route and schedule logic that protects margin
- Cluster jobs by postcode, aim for 10 to 15 km zones per crew per day.
- Enforce buffers of 15 to 25 minutes between jobs.
- If a crew does not accept in 2 minutes, auto route to the next available crew in the zone.
- Wind above threshold or rain probability high inside 24 hours, batch move the day, send first pick reschedule links.
- Block interior only jobs during severe weather, offer exterior only swaps on clear afternoons.
- Keep a short job hotlist, small residential exteriors near each zone to fill gaps.
High impact automations

- Pane helper inside the form, quick guide to count panes from photos.
- Quote chasers at 12 and 36 hours with quick Q and A link.

FAQs
How do I stop scope creep on site
Collect pane counts and photos up front. Quote tracks, screens, and stain removal as separate lines. Require tap to approve.
What weather rules should I use
Set wind and rain thresholds. Batch move impacted days 12 to 24 hours in advance and offer first pick links.
Do I need deposits
For large residential or commercial, take 10 to 20 percent. For small homes, balance on completion is fine.
How often should I schedule maintenance
Windows every 90 to 120 days, solar every 6 months. Set reminders and offer small bundle savings.
Can I sell interior only or exterior only
Yes. Offer both, explain that exterior cleans benefit most from water fed poles, interiors require access notes.
