The problem it solves

Putting together the monthly generation report means pulling numbers from your database by hand, formatting them, and emailing them out, and it's easy for this to slip when things get busy.

Who it fits

Energy companies or operations teams tracking solar, wind, or hydro generation performance.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically once a month
  2. Pulls the month's energy generation records from your database
  3. Formats the data into a structured report
  4. Converts the report into a PDF
  5. Emails the finished PDF to your stakeholders
What you get

Monthly reports stakeholders receive without asking

A month of your solar, wind, or hydro generation data becomes a polished PDF report and lands in stakeholders' inboxes automatically each month.

What you get

A monthly PDF report of energy generation performance, delivered by email.

What you need

A PostgreSQL database, a PDF.co API key, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
