Fast, simple fleet spend management for solar companies
Coast helps solar companies track fuel and field expenses in real-time, with flexible controls designed for crews on the go.
Fuel up anywhere solar crews travel
Solar teams often drive to remote residential or commercial sites. Coast works anywhere Visa is accepted, so drivers can refuel at the closest or lowest-cost station instead of searching for a specific brand.
Spend controls that enforce company policy
Set clear spending rules for each driver or vehicle to allow only approved fuel and non-fuel purchases. Coast automatically blocks out-of-policy transactions, which helps prevent card misuse and keep project costs in check.
Real-time visibility into fleet spend
See fuel and non-fuel expenses as they happen across vehicles and crews. Track spending by project, driver, or vehicle to catch issues early and avoid end-of-month surprises.
Fraud prevention
Protect your fleet from fuel misuse
Coast integrates with telematics platforms like Samsara and Geotab to confirm a vehicle is physically at the pump before approving a transaction. If the GPS location doesn’t match, Coast blocks the purchase, protecting you from potential fraud.
Rewards
Earn rebates and cash back on fleet spend
Solar fleets often consume large volumes of fuel. Coast offers rebates of up to 3¢–9¢ per gallon at over 30,000 partner stations nationwide, plus up to 1% cash back on non-fuel expenses like tolls, oil changes, parking, and vehicle maintenance. Terms apply.
Coast connects to your tools
Connect coast with the systems you already use to run your business, from telematics to accounting tools. Get real-time insights, stay on top of spending, and uncover new ways to save.
One card for fuel and solar field expenses
Solar crews make frequent purchases throughout the day—from fuel for service vehicles to maintenance items and installation supplies. Managing those purchases across multiple cards makes it harder to track spending by vehicle or project, and slows down reconciliation.
With Coast, manage approved fuel and field expenses on a single Visa card, with customizable spending rules designed around how solar teams operate.

Coast combines fuel transaction data with vehicle and odometer information from telematics platforms like Samsara and Geotab. This allows managers to monitor fuel efficiency by vehicle, identify underperforming trucks, and address issues before they impact project timelines.
How does Coast help prevent fuel theft or unauthorized spending?
Coast integrates with telematics platforms like Samsara and Geotab to verify that a truck is physically at the fuel pump before approving a transaction.
