AI for installation application documents
Short answer
An AI agent at an installation company links the grid operator's requests, the installers' replies and the project files, shows which correction is missing and writes a specific question for the coordinator. A person does the technical assessment and sends the files to the operator. The agent costs from €3,000 net at Syntalith and, with 250 installation cases a month at 15 minutes each, pays back in 2.0 months.

payback of a €3,000 agent with 250 installation cases a month: €2,181 of work today, €660 with checking and the model. Scenario.
26.2%
According to Eurostat (2026), renewables made up 26.2% of gross final energy consumption in the EU in 2025.

„I sent it” does not yet point to a file
The grid operator asked for a corrected attachment to a specific application. The coordinator passed the request to the installer, who replied that the document had been sent. Yet the correspondence holds no correction, and the project folder has only the earlier version. The coordinator searches the inbox, calls the installer and loses half an hour on one case.
The agent shows the operator's request and the installer's reply next to the available file and a list of the places it checked. It proposes a message: „Thank you for letting us know you sent it. In the correspondence and folder for this project I can find the earlier version of the attachment. Please send the corrected file again, or point me to the message in which it was sent”. When the file arrives, the person responsible for the technical side checks that it concerns the right project and correction.

What it costs and when it pays back
- Today
- 250 installation cases × 15 min = 62.5 h (€2,181)
- With the system, a person checks the output in 30% of the time
- €654
- Model, 2 calls per case, Claude Sonnet 5.5
- €5
- Cost of one case
- €8.73 today, €2.64 with the system
- Saving
- €1,522 a month
Payback of €3,000
2.0 months
The volume, the time and the checking share are the scenario's assumptions. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat. Model: 4,000 input and 400 output tokens per call at Anthropic's rates, converted at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.
The count covers the work around a case: searching, reading, writing and passing things on. What remains is the time to check the output, 30% of today's work in the scenario. Before the quote we measure both times on 20 to 100 cases the team has already handled, in a €0 test that takes 5 working days.
A late correction delays the whole project: the operator does not process the application, the customer waits for the connection and the crew cannot close the job. That is why, beside the coordinator's hours, the trial counts the days a case sat waiting for a file that someone had supposedly already sent.
First check the workflow in the operator's portal
Operators offer electronic channels. For example, the Polish operator TAURON Dystrybucja has an online form for registering or updating the details of a micro-installation. If the portal and your internal folder let you find the current documents and the people responsible, an agent is unnecessary. It makes sense when, outside the portal, someone still has to read emails, look for promised files and chase replies from several installers at once.

Where to start
The first scope covers one type of installation case and agreed sources of correspondence. On a finished case we check whether the coordinator finds the right version of the attachment and knows whom to contact. We build this as part of AI agents. For the free process review, a description of one case from recent weeks and the tools it ran through is enough. You do not need to send confidential documents, and you get a written plan within 2 working days.

€3,490
a month for quoting 200 enquiries by hand
Payback: 1 mo.
30 minutes for a first quote for an installation and checking in 15% of the old time are our assumptions. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. Model cost: reading the enquiry in our quoting system (about €0.0008) plus pricing the lines (Claude Sonnet 5.5, about 4,000 + 1,500 tokens), at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026. The extra margin is a scenario: we assume 1 in 60 enquiries quoted the same day ends in an order that a slow reply loses today, with a margin of €574. In the review we count it on your sales process.
