Why is it important to have a home inspection before you buy solar power?
Synopsis
As a solar energy company, we prioritize understanding our clients' expectations about solar systems. We achieve this through face-to-face meetings and site visits to manage their expectations about what the system can achieve. We take the time to explain the pros and cons of our services versus other cheaper options available online, so clients have a better understanding of how solar energy can help them.
There's a lot of misinformation about solar systems online, so having face-to-face discussions with customers is always helpful. We encourage clients to research solar energy before our meetings, as it helps them make informed decisions. The more a client understands about the different products available, the better decision they will make in the end.

From the initial contact that we make with the client, we try to find out what their expectations are around what they're going to get out of the solar system. And that'll almost always involve going to site and meeting them face-to-face, getting a good understanding of what the site's like and just managing their expectations about what it's going to achieve. If they're looking at other solar systems online or from other providers, they might see a system that is $3000 or $4,000 and it's just not going to do what they think it might do. So being able to have the face-to-face with the client and explain the pros and cons of what we offer, versus what that system might offer, gets them a better understanding about what solar can do to help them.
I suppose there's a lot of misinformation online about what's good and what's bad. So again, being able to have a face-to-face discussion with the customer is always helpful. People that do more research before we get there, before I start the conversation is always beneficial, because the more educated I think the customer is and the client already understands, Yes, I don't want that product that's down here. And I know where you're coming from with panels, and the sorts of inverters that we offer. The more research a customer can do and the better understanding that they have of the products that are out there, the better decision they will make at the end of the day.
