Customer Success Story: Trinity Solar

Driving Growth, Visibility, and Speed with NetSuite — Twice with Protelo

With over 30 years in business, Trinity Solar is one of the top residential solar contractors in the United States. Headquartered in New Jersey and operating across 10 states, the company has grown to exceed $700M in annual revenue, backed by a complex and fast-moving operational footprint.

That’s what led RJ Sparks to Protelo. After a successful NetSuite implementation with Protelo at a previous company, he chose to partner with the team again at Trinity Solar—confident in their ability to deliver the right solution and long-term support.
Challenges Before NetSuite

Trinity Solar was operating on QuickBooks Enterprise, which began to show limitations as the company scaled:

  • Difficulty managing large transaction volumes
  • Limited visibility into job costing, reporting, and operational data
  • Fragmented data across multiple systems and teams
  • Long, inefficient financial close cycles (up to a month)
  • Constraints that prevented further growth within existing infrastructure

As Trinity Solar continued to expand, it became clear they needed a modern ERP system to support their evolving business needs.

Why NetSuite?

Trinity Solar partnered with Protelo to implement NetSuite, a flexible, cloud-based ERP designed to centralize and streamline operations.
Key aspects of the implementation:
  • A fast 90–120 day deployment
  • Alignment of existing processes, including chart of accounts, to NetSuite best practices
  • A focus on keeping the implementation simple and scalable
  • Careful consideration of change management and post-go-live optimization
Having worked with Protelo before, Trinity Solar demonstrates the strength of the partnership and trust in working with the right NetSuite support team.
