Pre-installation support is vital for retaining photovoltaic (PV) solar customers by building trust, managing expectations, and ensuring a smooth installation process.
Topics covered:
Detailed consultation: Go beyond the standard sales pitch. Explain how solar energy works, outline the components of the proposed system (panels, inverters, batteries), and discuss factors that affect energy production.
Clarify savings and ROI: Use realistic numbers based on their actual energy consumption to manage financial expectations. Provide a transparent breakdown of all costs, including permits, installation, and equipment, to avoid surprise fees.
Conduct a thorough site assessment: A detailed, professional site evaluation should be done early to confirm the roof's structural integrity and load-bearing capacity
project timelines: Clearly outline the entire project timeline, including permitting, installation, and final inspections.
Offer clear financing options: Present financing options, such as loans or leases, transparently. Collaborate with financial partners to offer competitive rates and flexible repayment options, which can help overcome the barrier of high upfront costs.
Making realistic promises, rather than overpromising system output.
