Somewhere there’s a folder of photos nobody can match to a serial.
Which inverter is this one?
An illustration, not a real customer’s photos.
Someone zooms into a blurry plate, squints at a serial number and types it into a spreadsheet. Then does it again for the next machine.
One wrong character, and the paperwork bounces.
The payment waits. The client waits. And you spend your week explaining a folder of photos instead of the job you did well.
Whatever they photograph now is the paperwork you will need later. Try this on your last job.
There is a quieter wayTick each one you could answer yes to.
If you hesitated, that is the gap.
Baton, solar handover packs from nameplate photos. Nothing new for the crew to carry.
They use a phone browser. No app, no login, and it keeps working with no signal.
Two AI models read each plate. Then a person checks the serial number against the photo.
The office gets a PDF, an Excel file and a CSV, saved in their own Google Drive.
Checked against the photo by a person
A sample plate, as a crew sees it on site.
Every machine gets a line and a photo of its plate, so the people who sign it off can see what was installed.
Baton does not write certificates or regulator forms. It never touches the paperwork that needs a licensed signature.
Try it on your first 3 projects, free. Pro is $49 a month for the whole company, not per seat.
