The product addresses two pain points: panel owners struggling to know when to clean their panels, and cleaning companies lacking a reliable way to find customers. The app integrates with inverter platforms (SolarEdge, Fronius, Enphase, Huawei), combines production data with weather conditions to recommend cleaning, and includes a marketplace connecting owners with cleaning services. The author chose Flutter for cross-platform support and Firebase for its all-in-one backend ecosystem, despite having no prior Flutter experience. This is the first post in an eight-part series covering architecture, API integrations, payments, AI recommendations, and app store submission. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
