Time tracking for renewable crews
For solar and wind crews. They clock in on their phone at the array or the pad, and the miles they drive from the shop are saved with their hours.
- 14-day trial
- From $15/mo
- Live demo
From $15/mo billed annually. Starter $15/mo · Growth $25/mo · Scale $49.99/mo.
How a solar or wind crew uses it
The crew’s shift on the phone
Each array or pad is saved as a work location
A clock-in at the shop doesn’t show that the crew ever reached the site.
Save each site as a work location. When someone clocks in, TimeOff Manager saves their GPS location.
Sites saved as work locations
Clock-ins have to happen inside the fence
The access road is not the array. A clock-in from the road doesn’t mean the crew is on site.
Set a geofence around the site. The crew can only clock in once they are inside the area you drew.
Each drive to the site
Miles from the shop
Remote sites are far away, so the drive can be a big part of the day.
Crews log their miles in the same app they clock in with, so the drive sits next to their hours.
Who is on shift, from your phone
See who is still on site
Often you only find out a crew is done when they are already driving back.
The live staff map shows everyone who is clocked in right now. GPS history is a separate screen that shows where each person clocked in.
Who is off this month
Time off for crews that travel
A crew member texts that they need a day off, and the office never sees it.
They request the day off in the app. A manager approves it, and the day shows on the team calendar.
Approved hours, ready for payroll
TimeOff Manager tracks hours. It doesn’t pay anyone. At the end of the pay period, a manager reviews and approves the hours. Then you download them as an Excel or CSV file and send it to whoever runs payroll: your bookkeeper, your accountant, or your payroll software.
-
Hours are approved first
A manager checks the hours before they go anywhere, so payroll gets real numbers, not guesses from a group text.
-
Overtime is flagged
Extra hours show up on the timesheet, so you can see overtime before you pay it.
-
Excel or CSV
One download your bookkeeper or payroll software can open.
-
Payroll happens elsewhere
TimeOff Manager does not calculate pay, print checks, or file taxes.

Hours go to payroll
Download the approved hours as a file. Energy production data stays in your monitoring tools.
This is not production monitoring or permitting software
TimeOff Manager does not monitor energy output, inverters, turbines, or permits. It tracks hours, time off, mileage, and where each person clocked in.
Also see time tracking software, TimeOff Kiosk, PTO software, and pricing.
Approved time off can sync to Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Approved hours can go to QuickBooks Online or FreshBooks.
You can also ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor questions about your account, like who is out next week, through Model Context Protocol.
Simple pricing
From $15/mo billed annually. Starter $15/mo · Growth $25/mo · Scale $49.99/mo. Every plan includes time off, clock-in, GPS, a shared-tablet kiosk, mileage, and hour downloads.
Common questions from renewable crews
Our sites are far from the shop. Does that matter?
No. Save each site as a work location, and the GPS location is saved when the crew clocks in. They log the miles separately in the same app.
Can subcontractors clock in?
Only if they are employees in your account.
Is the live map the same as the GPS saved at clock-in?
No. The live map shows who is clocked in right now. GPS history shows where each person clocked in.
How much does it cost?
From $15/mo billed annually after a 14-day trial. Starter is $15/mo for 1–20 people, Growth is $25/mo for 21–50, and Scale is $49.99/mo for larger teams.
