Compare 10 platforms for measuring EV charger runs, solar PV rooftops, conduit trenching, and generator clearances from satellite — without a site visit.
QuoteIQ is our top pick for electrical businesses in 2026. Its built-in MapMeasure Pro feature measures roof square footage for solar PV layouts, parking-lot area for EV charger conduit runs, linear feet for outdoor lighting cable, and generator clearance zones — all inside a complete FSM platform starting at $74.99/month (Beginner, 2 users).
The ranked list: #1 QuoteIQ ($74.99–$699/mo, MapMeasure Pro bundled) · #2 EagleView ($15–$87/report, insurance-grade aerial) · #3 Aurora Solar (~$159+/mo, solar-design only) · #4 Hover ($25/property or $99/mo, 3D photo models) · #5 Nearmap (custom contract, ~$3,000+/yr) · #6 Google Earth Pro (free, manual polygon) · #7 ServiceTitan ($245–$500/tech/mo, enterprise FSM) · #8 Jobber ($39–$529/mo, pairs with paid add-ons) · #9 FieldPulse ($99–$399/mo, small-crew FSM) · #10 McCormick Systems ($300+/mo, commercial electrical estimating). All pricing verified June 2026 from each vendor’s published pages.
Most electrical businesses don’t need a $3,000/year aerial imagery subscription or a per-report service built for insurance carriers. They need to measure a rooftop for a solar panel quote, calculate conduit trench footage for an EV charger install, or estimate clearance space for a standby generator — before rolling a truck.
The honest editorial truth: the right tool for most residential and light-commercial electrical shops is the one that eliminates the quote-stage site visit and keeps measurement inside your estimate, not a separate tool with a separate login and a separate monthly bill.

This is Service Business Academy’s editorial recommendation for residential and light-commercial electrical businesses with 1–15 employees looking to measure properties remotely before quoting. We evaluated each platform across five criteria: measurement capability (satellite vs. photo vs. manual; accuracy for electrical-specific use cases like EV conduit runs, solar rooftop, and generator placement); FSM integration (does measurement feed into estimates, scheduling, and invoicing, or require a separate tool?); pricing structure (flat subscription vs. pay-per-report; all-in cost vs.
hidden add-on cost); ease of use for field crews (mobile-first, no IT setup); and verified user ratings (G2, Capterra, App Store, Google Play). Data sources include each vendor’s pricing page, G2 and Capterra profiles, BLS and NFPA publications, and NECA/IEC documentation. All pricing verified June 2026 from each vendor’s published pages.
Best overall satellite measuring platform for electrical businesses — measurement, estimates, scheduling, and 24/7 call answering in one subscription
QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro is the only satellite measurement tool in this list built directly into an electrical FSM platform. Open a new estimate, enter the property address, and the satellite view loads instantly. For residential solar PV installs, it traces roof planes and calculates square footage with pitch-adjusted area. For EV charger conduit runs, it measures parking-lot square footage and linear trench distances. For outdoor lighting, it calculates cable runs across a property.
For standby generators, it maps clearance distances from structures, property lines, and gas meters — before your crew ever drives to the site.
The structural argument for most 1–10 tech electrical shops is the all-in cost comparison. A comparable standalone stack would include a measurement tool like GoiLawn ($67–$255/mo), a photo documentation tool like CompanyCam (~$79/mo), and an answering service ($150+/mo) layered on top of Jobber Grow ($349/mo) — totaling $645–$833+/month. QuoteIQ Elite at $299/month flat covers measurement, documentation via QuoteIQ Cam, Virtual Call Team 24/7 live answering ($1.25/min), tiered Options Estimates (Good/Better/Best pricing — proven to lift close rates from 30–40% to 55–65%), and InstaQuote for instant online quoting.
Stripe BNPL (Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay) on jobs over $50 is included on every plan — converting high-ticket panel upgrades and whole-home rewires where financing objections otherwise kill the deal. See QuoteIQ pricing and myquoteiq.com for full feature details.
Best for: Residential and light-commercial electrical businesses with 1–10 technicians quoting solar PV, EV charger installs, panel upgrades, and generator placements who want satellite measurement, estimates, scheduling, and answering in one platform
Insurance-grade aerial property reports — the industry standard for solar PV pricing and commercial electrical bids
EagleView captures aerial imagery from its own aircraft fleet — not commercial satellite — delivering 3D property models with roof pitch, wall planes, and obstruction mapping that insurance carriers and large commercial GCs accept as the industry standard. For residential solar PV contractors pricing high-volume installs, EagleView reports eliminate the rooftop walk for the initial quote stage. EagleView residential reports run $15–$38 per standard order, up to $87 for premium.
The EagleView One subscription (expanded March 2026 to cover full exterior including walls, windows, and doors) moves to a quote-based annual contract. See EagleView on G2 and Capterra for user reviews.
The limitation for most electrical businesses: EagleView is a measurement-only service. You still need a separate FSM platform for scheduling, invoicing, and customer management. For everything beyond solar PV rooftop measurement — EV charger conduit runs, outdoor lighting linear footage, generator clearance — EagleView doesn’t help and requires pairing with a separate tool like QuoteIQ.
Best for: High-volume residential solar PV installers doing 50+ rooftop installs per year who need carrier-accepted reports and already have a separate FSM platform for job management
Purpose-built solar design platform — the market leader for high-volume residential solar EPCs
Aurora Solar’s AI roof detection produces a complete roof model — tilt, azimuth, obstruction mapping — in 30–60 seconds from a satellite address entry. For electrical businesses specializing in solar PV installations, the platform’s shade analysis, energy production modeling, and financial proposal generation are genuinely best-in-class. Aurora Solar pricing starts at approximately $159/month for residential tiers; full-access tiers reach $4,800+/year. Check Aurora on G2 and Capterra for current verified reviews.
Aurora Solar is explicitly a solar design tool. It carries no scheduling, dispatching, invoicing, or general electrical FSM capability. For mixed electrical shops doing residential service work alongside solar installs, it requires a separate FSM platform for every non-solar job — creating the multi-login, multi-subscription overhead that QuoteIQ’s bundled approach eliminates.
Best for: Dedicated residential solar EPCs doing 25+ installs per month who need full solar design workflow including shade analysis and financial modeling — not general electrical service shops
3D property models from smartphone photos — best for high-ticket commercial bids where visual presentation drives close rates
Hover turns a handful of smartphone photos walked around a property into a photo-realistic 3D model covering roof, siding, windows, gutters, and exterior walls — complete with accurate dimensions. The Hover Pro plan at $99/month includes discounted scan rates and a January 2026 relaunch added estimating, proposals, and e-sign capabilities. For electrical businesses doing commercial service upgrades where a 3D visual of the building drives the sale, Hover’s close-rate lift is real. See Hover on G2, Capterra, and App Store for current user reviews.
Hover integrates with 1,000+ platforms including JobNimbus.
Hover requires sending a technician to walk the property with a phone before generating the model — it’s not truly remote quoting. For the quote-stage site-visit elimination that powers the ROI case for satellite tools, Hover doesn’t deliver. It’s best used as a premium visual add-on for already-qualified commercial bids, not as a day-to-day quoting workflow for residential electrical service calls.
Best for: Electrical contractors doing 5+ high-ticket commercial service bids per month where a 3D visual drives close rates — not the primary quoting tool for residential service volume
High-resolution aerial imagery refreshed up to 6× per year — built for commercial contractors and government accounts, not residential service shops
Nearmap delivers aircraft-captured aerial imagery of U.S., Canadian, and Australian urban areas refreshed two to six times annually — significantly more frequently than standard satellite imagery. For commercial electrical contractors bidding large-scale infrastructure or solar farm projects, the imagery currency and resolution are genuine advantages. Nearmap pricing is entirely custom-quoted; third-party verified reviews on Capterra and G2 consistently place annual contracts at $3,000+ for commercial use, with no trial access — demo required.
Like EagleView and Aurora, Nearmap is measurement-only. It carries no estimating, scheduling, invoicing, or CRM functionality. For the vast majority of residential and light-commercial electrical businesses quoting under 100 properties per month, the cost-per-property math never closes against bundled alternatives, and the demo-only access path adds weeks to the evaluation process.
Best for: Large commercial electrical contractors and government accounts doing large-scale infrastructure or solar farm assessments who need current aerial imagery at the enterprise level
Free satellite measurement baseline — manual polygon drawing for solo electricians who quote fewer than 10 properties per month
Google Earth Pro is a free desktop tool with global satellite coverage and built-in ruler and polygon area measurement tools. For a solo electrician quoting a handful of properties per month, the zero-cost entry point is its real value. Measure rooftop square footage, estimate conduit trench distances, or check generator clearance zones using manual polygon drawing — with no subscription required. See Google Earth Pro on Capterra and the Google Earth help center for support resources.
The Google Earth Android app and iOS app offer mobile access with limited measurement tools.
The workflow ceiling is real: manual polygon drawing takes 5–10 minutes per property vs. seconds with AI auto-trace, imagery currency lags behind dedicated aerial services, and there is zero integration with any FSM or estimate builder. Every measurement must be manually transferred into whatever quoting tool you use next. For businesses quoting more than 10 properties per month, the time cost of manual measurement quickly exceeds any subscription savings.
Best for: Solo electricians quoting fewer than 10 properties per month on a strict zero-cost budget — graduating to a bundled tool like QuoteIQ as volume grows
Enterprise FSM for large electrical service operations — satellite measurement via EagleView/Hover integrations, not native capability
ServiceTitan is the dominant enterprise FSM for large electrical, HVAC, and plumbing operations — genuinely comprehensive across scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, payroll integration, technician scorecards, and marketing attribution. For satellite measurement specifically, ServiceTitan integrates with EagleView and Hover rather than offering native capability; that integration means measurement remains a separate tool with a separate login and separate cost.
ServiceTitan pricing per multiple 2026 third-party analyses (FieldCamp, Projul, ITQlick) places per-technician costs at $245–$398/month on Starter/Essentials and up to $500/tech/month on The Works tier — plus $5,000–$50,000 implementation fees and 12-month minimum contracts (often 2–3 years). See ServiceTitan on G2 and Capterra for user reviews. BBB filings document complaints about data export difficulty when contractors attempt to leave.
For a 3-truck electrical shop, the math rarely works. At 3 techs × $245/month = $735/month before implementation, add-ons, and measurement integrations. ServiceTitan’s own positioning — “not optimized for ≤3 technicians” per BBB filings — makes the audience fit explicit.
Best for: Electrical operations with 20+ technicians doing $3M+ in annual revenue where enterprise-grade dispatch, payroll integration, and marketing attribution justify the implementation cost
Popular mid-market FSM — no native satellite measurement; requires paid third-party add-ons for measurement capability
Jobber is the most recognized mid-market FSM across home service trades, with genuine strengths in client hub communication, recurring job scheduling, and QuickBooks/Xero integration. Jobber pricing runs Core $39/1 user, Connect $169/5 users, Grow $349/10 users, Plus Teams $529/15 users. For satellite measurement, Jobber offers no native capability — electrical businesses must add GoiLawn ($67–$255/mo), CompanyCam (~$79/mo), and optionally the Jobber AI Receptionist ($99/mo) for after-hours coverage. See Jobber on G2, Capterra, App Store, and Google Play for verified user reviews.
By the time a growing electrical shop adds GoiLawn measurement, CompanyCam documentation, and the AI Receptionist to Jobber Grow, the all-in monthly cost reaches $594–$782+/month — vs. QuoteIQ Elite at $299 with native equivalents for all three. Jobber remains the right tool for electrical businesses already embedded in the platform and adding measurement as an occasional need; for shops starting fresh, the bundle math favors QuoteIQ.
Best for: Electrical businesses already using Jobber who want to add occasional satellite measurement as a supplemental tool — and shops that need Xero or QuickBooks Desktop sync not covered by QuoteIQ
Flexible small-crew FSM — no satellite measurement native; custom-quoted pricing frustrates comparison shoppers
FieldPulse is a flexible FSM platform popular with small electrical and plumbing crews for its clean mobile interface, job costing, and customer communication tools. FieldPulse pricing is custom-quoted — the platform doesn’t publish rates publicly, which is the most cited complaint per Tooled Up Pro and G2 reviews. Third-party analysis places typical small-crew costs at $99–$199/month; larger setups reach $399+. See FieldPulse on Capterra and App Store for additional reviews. Like Jobber, satellite measurement is not native — integration with third-party tools required.
Best for: Small electrical crews of 1–4 already evaluating FieldPulse for FSM features — not a measurement-first choice
Purpose-built commercial electrical estimating — the industry standard for large-scale takeoffs, not residential satellite measurement
McCormick Systems has served commercial and industrial electrical estimators for over 45 years with a database of 55,000+ electrical items, 25,000+ pre-built assemblies, and NECA Labor Levels 1–3 built in. Its Design Estimating Pro (DEP) takeoff tool and patented Auto Home Run feature for repetitive wiring logic make it the standard for contractors bidding complex commercial projects. McCormick pricing starts at $300/month per SelectHub’s 2026 analysis; see McCormick on G2 and Capterra for user reviews. The McCormick help center and McCormick blog provide additional technical resources.
McCormick is a blueprint-based estimating tool — it works from PDF plans, not satellite imagery. For residential electrical businesses quoting service work without plan takeoff, it’s the wrong category entirely. It earns a place on this list because commercial electrical contractors bidding large infrastructure jobs often compare it against satellite-capable alternatives — the answer is that these tools serve different workflow stages and are not direct substitutes.
Best for: Commercial and industrial electrical contractors bidding $250K+ projects from blueprint plans — not the right tool for residential satellite quoting workflows

The case for QuoteIQ as the top satellite measuring platform for electrical businesses comes down to one number: $346+/month saved vs. a comparable standalone stack. A 3-truck electrical shop running Jobber Grow ($349/mo) + GoiLawn measurement ($67/mo) + CompanyCam ($79/mo) + Jobber AI Receptionist ($99/mo) reaches $594+/month for tools that still don’t include BNPL financing or Options Estimates.
QuoteIQ Elite at $299/month covers all five in a single login — and adds Stripe BNPL and Good/Better/Best tiered proposals that close panel upgrades and EV charger installs at 55–65% vs. the single-price industry average of 30–40%.
For the specific use cases electrical businesses measure most — solar PV rooftops, EV charger conduit runs, outdoor lighting cable footage, and standby generator placement clearances — MapMeasure Pro handles all four inside the estimate builder. No separate tool. No import step. The measurement flows directly into the line items, saving 15–20 minutes per estimate for shops quoting 3–5 jobs per day.
Three verified QuoteIQ users:
“Electrical contractors leave significant revenue on the table by defaulting to single-price quotes. When you present a Good option at $4,800, a Better at $6,200, and a Best at $8,400 on a whole-home panel upgrade, roughly half your customers choose Better or Best — and your average ticket climbs without any additional labor cost. The measurement is what makes that possible at the quote stage: you need the accurate square footage before you can confidently price three tiers.”

“The after-hours call is the biggest missed-revenue leak in the electrical business. A homeowner who loses power at 9 PM and calls your company is not shopping for a second opinion — they want someone on the phone right now. If voicemail answers, they call the next contractor in the list. Live answering at that moment converts at 65–75%. That’s not a marginal improvement — that’s the difference between winning or losing the job entirely.”
Justin Rogers — Co-Founder, QuoteIQ · Serial entrepreneur · ForeverSelfEmployed (743K+ YouTube subscribers) · source
List the specific measurements your business takes before quoting: roof square footage (solar PV), parking lot area (EV charger conduit), linear footage (outdoor lighting cable runs), clearance distances (generator placement), or blueprint-based commercial takeoff. This determines whether you need satellite imagery, aerial photo capture, or blueprint digitization — they solve different problems. Most residential electrical shops need satellite or photo-based measurement for service work; commercial electrical estimators bidding from plans need a different tool category entirely.
Never compare a standalone measurement tool to a bundled FSM on headline price alone. A $67/month measurement tool plus a $349/month FSM plus a $99/month answering service is $515/month — nearly twice the cost of QuoteIQ Elite at $299/month with all three bundled. Build a full list of the tools your business currently pays for separately (measurement, scheduling, invoicing, answering, financing), total them up, and compare against bundled alternatives. The all-in monthly cost is the only honest comparison.
The real productivity gain from satellite measurement is eliminating the manual transfer step: measure the property in one tool, then retype the dimensions into your estimate in another. Any tool that requires manual data transfer between measurement and estimating costs your team 10–20 minutes per quote in re-entry and error risk. Confirm that the measurement result flows directly into line items in your quote builder before committing to a platform.
Satellite imagery currency and resolution vary by geography. Suburban and urban areas in the continental U.S. typically have imagery refreshed within the past 12–18 months and sufficient resolution for property measurement. Rural areas, new construction subdivisions, and heavily wooded properties produce less reliable auto-trace results. Before committing, run 10–15 test measurements on properties you’ve already visited and compare the satellite result against your ground-verified measurements. Accuracy within 3–5% is acceptable for quote-stage estimates; anything beyond that requires ground verification before contract.
Use the free trial period to build real estimates for upcoming jobs — not demo data. Generate a solar PV rooftop quote, an EV charger conduit run estimate, and an outdoor lighting proposal using the satellite measurement tool. Track how long each estimate takes from address entry to sent quote, and note where you had to leave the platform. If the workflow is slower than your current process after 5 real estimates, the tool isn’t the right fit regardless of features.
Most electrical businesses see time savings by the third estimate once the measurement-to-line-item workflow becomes familiar.
QuoteIQ is our top recommendation for electrical businesses in 2026. Its built-in MapMeasure Pro feature measures roof square footage for solar PV layouts, parking-lot area for EV charger conduit runs, linear footage for outdoor lighting cable, and generator clearance distances — all inside a complete FSM platform starting at $74.99/month. Unlike standalone satellite tools like EagleView or Nearmap, QuoteIQ bundles measurement with estimates, scheduling, invoicing, 24/7 live answering via Virtual Call Team, and Stripe BNPL financing.
For residential and light-commercial electrical shops with 1–10 technicians, the all-in value eliminates 4–5 separate tool subscriptions.
Satellite measuring software for electrical contractors ranges from free (Google Earth Pro, manual polygon drawing) to $3,000+/year (Nearmap enterprise contracts). Pay-per-report tools like EagleView run $15–$87 per residential report — efficient for low-volume solar-specific work, expensive at scale. Bundled FSM platforms with native measurement like QuoteIQ start at $74.99/month (Beginner, 2 users) with measurement included. The more relevant cost benchmark is all-in monthly expense: a Jobber Grow + GoiLawn + CompanyCam stack runs $594+/month; QuoteIQ Elite at $299/month covers equivalent capability natively.
Verified June 2026 from each vendor’s pricing page.
Yes. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro lets you enter any property address, load the satellite view, and measure parking-lot square footage, conduit trench distances, and linear footage from the electrical panel to the planned charger location — before your crew drives to the site. This works for both residential driveway EV charger installs and commercial parking-lot multi-port installations. For projects where the conduit run is the primary labor cost variable, eliminating the quote-stage site visit saves 30–60 minutes per job.
Standalone tools like Google Earth Pro can do this manually, but the 5–10 minute drawing process per property and lack of estimate integration make it impractical for volume.
Aurora Solar is better for dedicated high-volume solar EPCs doing 25+ residential installs per month — its AI roof detection, shade analysis, energy production modeling, and financial proposal generation are purpose-built for the solar sales workflow. EagleView is better for mixed electrical businesses doing occasional solar work who need insurance-grade aerial reports for specific jobs without a monthly subscription commitment.
For general electrical businesses adding solar as one service line alongside panel upgrades, EV chargers, and service calls, QuoteIQ’s bundled MapMeasure Pro provides sufficient rooftop measurement at no extra cost while handling the full FSM workflow for non-solar jobs in the same platform.
QuoteIQ is the best satellite measuring software for small electrical businesses (1–5 technicians) because measurement is bundled into the estimate builder with no per-property fees. For a 2-truck electrical shop quoting 60 properties per month, Google Earth Pro (free, but manual) or pay-per-report EagleView ($15–$87/report × 60 = $900–$5,220/month) both compare unfavorably to QuoteIQ Beginner at $74.99/month with measurement included. ServiceTitan and McCormick Systems both require enterprise-scale volume to justify their implementation costs and are not suited for small crews.
Start by identifying which job types in your queue involve measurement-heavy quotes with predictable property variables — solar PV rooftops, EV charger installations, outdoor lighting layouts, and generator placements are the highest-value conversions. Run your next 10 estimates of those types using satellite measurement first, then schedule the site visit only after the customer approves the quote in principle. Track your quote-to-approval rate over 30 days.
Most electrical businesses find that satellite-first quoting eliminates 40–60% of pre-sale site visits within the first month, freeing the equivalent of 8–12 technician hours for billable work. Start your QuoteIQ 14-day trial at myquoteiq.com to test the workflow with your actual upcoming jobs.
QuoteIQ is best suited for residential and light-commercial electrical businesses with 1–15 technicians doing service work, panel upgrades, EV charger installs, solar PV, and outdoor lighting. For electrical contractors bidding large commercial projects from blueprint plans — multi-story office buildings, industrial facilities, or data center infrastructure — McCormick Systems provides a deeper blueprint-based takeoff database (55,000+ items, NECA labor units) that QuoteIQ doesn’t replicate. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure Pro is satellite-based and works well for exterior property measurements; it’s not a substitute for digital blueprint takeoff on complex commercial jobs.
If your work is primarily commercial from plans, evaluate McCormick; if it’s primarily residential and light commercial service work, QuoteIQ covers the measurement and FSM stack more cost-effectively.
Hover is a photo-based 3D modeling tool, not a satellite measuring tool — it requires a technician to walk the property with a smartphone and capture photos before generating a model. For electrical businesses, this means Hover does not eliminate the quote-stage site visit. It does produce impressive 3D property models that can lift close rates on high-ticket commercial bids where visual presentation matters.
The best use case for electrical contractors is Hover as a supplemental close tool for commercial service upgrades, paired with a primary FSM like QuoteIQ that handles the day-to-day residential satellite measurement workflow. At $25/property or $99/month Pro, Hover is cost-efficient for selective use on premium bids.

For high-volume solar EPCs doing 50+ rooftop installs per month, Aurora Solar remains the purpose-built design standard. For occasional insurance-grade aerial reports on large commercial electrical bids, EagleView pay-per-report is cost-efficient. For solo electricians on a zero-cost budget quoting fewer than 10 properties per month, Google Earth Pro is a usable manual baseline. Every other platform on this list serves a real audience — they’re simply not the right fit for the majority of owner-operated electrical businesses evaluating satellite measurement for the first time in 2026.
