Solar Project Management Software for Dubai Procurement to Commissioning, Tracked in One Place
Custom solar project management software for UAE EPCs and developers delivering solar projects from design handover to O&M. Built to track procurement and the bill of materials, construction milestones, DEWA approvals, commissioning and handover in one place - so a project that design tools and spreadsheets leave half-tracked is delivered on milestone and on budget. Designed to sit alongside your design tools and accounting, organising delivery, not replacing the engineering design or the books.
Why solar EPC delivery slips on spreadsheets
Design tools like PVsyst and HelioScope cover design and yield, not delivery. So the actual project - turning the bill of materials into procurement, running construction to milestones, getting DEWA design approval, commissioning and handing over to O&M - is tracked in spreadsheets and email, where milestones slip, the BOM and procurement drift apart, and commissioning documents scatter.
Delivery is run on spreadsheets
Milestones, procurement and commissioning live in separate spreadsheets and inboxes, so no one has a single view of where the project is against plan. A slip is seen late, when it is expensive to recover.
BOM and procurement drift apart
The bill of materials from design and what was actually ordered and delivered diverge, so a missing or wrong component is found on site during construction rather than at procurement, stalling the build.
Milestones slip out of sight
Construction milestones are tracked loosely, so a slip in civil works or mounting cascades into electrical and commissioning before it is visible, pushing energisation and payment milestones out.
Commissioning and handover scatter
Test results, SAT documents, as-builts and DEWA approvals are spread across people, so commissioning drags and the handover to O&M is messy, leaving the operations team without a clean record.
EPC delivery tracked from BOM to handover
Four capability areas designed around delivering a UAE solar project from design handover through procurement and construction to commissioning and O&M handover.
BOM to procurement tracking
The bill of materials from design carried into procurement, so what was specified, ordered, delivered and installed stays reconciled and a shortfall is caught at procurement rather than on site. Design and the build stay in step.
Construction milestone tracking
Construction tracked against milestones - civil, mounting, electrical, commissioning - so a slip is visible early and its knock-on to energisation and payment milestones is clear while there is time to act.
Commissioning and DEWA approval
Commissioning, SAT, test results and DEWA design approval and energisation tracked and documented in the project, so commissioning is orderly and the approval steps are not the thing that holds energisation.
Clean O&M handover
As-builts, test certificates, warranties and asset records assembled for a clean handover to operations, so the O&M team inherits a complete record rather than chasing documents after the fact.
Design tools stop at the design; delivery slips on spreadsheets. Custom software is the layer where BOM, procurement, milestones and commissioning are tracked as one project.
How the build is tracking against plan.
A timeline shows the project against plan. Procurement, civil, mounting, electrical and commissioning each have a window, so the project manager sees what is on track and what is slipping.

Talk to us about solar project management software.
A short call surfaces whether custom project management software makes sense for your delivery. Best positioned for UAE EPCs and developers delivering solar projects from design through construction to handover. Working with your project and procurement leads during discovery, we map how delivery runs today and where milestones and BOM slip. If discovery shows a general PM tool serves you, we say so. BY BANKS is an independent software engineering company: we design and build the platform and hand it over, your team operates it.

How solar project management software works in the UAE
The detail behind the headline - from BOM-to-procurement tracking and construction milestones, through commissioning and DEWA approval, to a clean O&M handover.
What changes, in practical terms
A slip in civil works is visible against the milestone plan early, so its knock-on to energisation and payment can be managed rather than discovered at the end.
The detailed questions UAE EPCs ask us
Expand each to see how bespoke solar project management software actually works.
What does solar project management software actually cover?
Who this is for: UAE EPCs and developers delivering solar projects - rooftop, ground-mount or utility-scale - from design handover through procurement and construction to commissioning and O&M handover. Less suited to a pure installer doing small same-day jobs.
Four connected capability areas: (1) BOM to procurement tracking. (2) Construction milestone tracking. (3) Commissioning and DEWA approval. (4) Clean O&M handover.
How is this different from rooftop solar software?
Rooftop software is focused on the C&I distributed segment and the Shams Dubai connection workflow specifically. Project management is the broader EPC delivery layer - procurement, construction, commissioning - for projects of any type, including ground-mount and utility-scale.
They overlap for a C&I rooftop project and connect, but rooftop leads on Shams Dubai compliance while project management leads on procurement and construction delivery. This page is the EPC delivery workflow.
How is this different from PVsyst, Aurora or HelioScope?
Those are design and simulation tools - they produce the system design, layout and yield. They do not track procurement, construction milestones, commissioning or handover.
Project management software takes the design from those tools and manages the delivery of the project around it. We are not replacing the design tools; we are closing the gap between design and a delivered, commissioned plant. Where a general PM tool genuinely fits, we will say so.
How does BOM-to-procurement tracking work?
The design produces a bill of materials, but what is ordered, delivered and installed often drifts from it.
The software carries the BOM into procurement and tracks ordering, delivery and installation against it, so a shortfall or substitution is caught at procurement rather than discovered on site mid-build. Design and the build stay reconciled.
Does it replace Procore or a general PM tool?
It can, where a general construction PM tool is being stretched to fit solar and missing the solar-specific pieces - the BOM tie to design, DEWA approval steps, commissioning and energisation, O&M handover.
Custom software is built around solar EPC delivery specifically. Where a general tool like Procore already serves you well, we will say so rather than rebuild it; where it leaves solar-specific gaps, the custom layer fills them.
What does this sit alongside in a typical UAE solar stack?
Project management sits between design and operations.
Design - it takes the design and BOM from your design tools (PVsyst, Aurora, HelioScope) and the proposal stage.
Finance and operations - it connects to accounting for procurement and payment milestones, and hands over to asset monitoring and O&M on energisation. Integration approach is scoped during discovery based on what you are already running, and we do not ask you to replace anything that works.
How long to go live, and what does it cost?
Discovery runs two to three weeks. Working with your project and procurement leads, we map how delivery runs today and where milestones and BOM slip. Output is a report covering current-state map, gap analysis, recommended workflow, integration scope and a fixed-price build proposal.
A core build runs from discovery completion, with BOM, procurement and milestones first and commissioning and handover after. Pricing varies by project scale, volume and integration scope, so a bracket is not published; discovery produces a fixed-price proposal with no obligation to proceed.
Does it handle competitive procurement of equipment?
It tracks the procurement that flows from the BOM - ordering, delivery and reconciliation.
For structured, sealed-bid competitive sourcing of panels, inverters and EPC packages with blind evaluation, that is a dedicated procurement-integrity capability we build separately and can connect; this page is the delivery workflow rather than the tender process.
How each role experiences the change
Different roles feel delivery differently. Custom software works when it reduces friction for each one.
Project Manager
One view of the project against plan, with slips visible early rather than at the end.
Procurement
BOM, orders, deliveries and installs reconciled, so shortfalls are caught before site.
Commissioning / QA
Commissioning, SAT and DEWA approval documented in the project, so handover is clean.
O&M
A complete as-built and warranty record inherited on handover, rather than chased afterwards.
