Launched in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in June 2021, the app is now available for the entire European PV market in a total of 22 languages. ‘With the K2 DocuApp, we are exploiting the digital potential and ensuring real time savings for the installer, who can use this time to build plants on the roof instead of being stuck in the office with the administration,’ says Katharina David, Managing Director K2 Systems.
By using the tool, all relevant data and documents of a PV project can be created, managed, and shared with colleagues while on the road, on the construction site or from the office. And finally, the project can be completed with the customer’s digital signature. This results in significantly less administrative work. The installer gets a structured overview of all documents and saves up to 30 % of working time when creating project documentation.
Installers throughout Europe can download the app for iOS and Android free of charge from the Google Play and iOS app stores onto their smartphone or tablet and use their existing K2 account with which they are already working in K2 Base directly for the login, or alternatively create a K2 account free of charge. Then they can choose from a total of 22 languages and start with the documentation: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.
The company K2 Systems has been known for highly functional mounting system solutions in the PV industry since 2004. With the addition of new digital services to the portfolio, installers will get even better support throughout the process. ‘Our goal is to offer holistic solutions. With the K2 CheckApp, we accelerate project entry in the quotation phase, with the online software K2 Base we simplify the design phase and with the K2 DocuApp we simplify the documentation phase,’ Stefan Köhl, Head of Digital Solutions K2 Systems, summarises.
More about the K2 DocuApp: PV projects are presented in a clear and consistent document structure. By uploading the various documents of the module, storage, inverter and mounting system manufacturers and by taking photos, the individual project is completed step-by-step or tab-by-tab in the app. The project can be supplemented with the relevant contact data, a linked site address, a practical reminder function, own categories, and a project-specific checklist. Thanks to the integrated sharing function, the latter enables the simple exchange of information, e.g. between project planners and fitters on site. If the installer uses a K2 Systems installation system for the project, all planning data, and reports from K2 Base and of the products are automatically available to him with one click. However, the app is explicitly suitable for all PV projects, as it enables cross-manufacturer documentation.
