Skepticism is common

Homeowners often hear conflicting claims about solar savings, incentives, and financing. Companies that communicate honestly and clearly tend to stand out.

Explain the process

Use AI to write a clear overview of the solar process: site assessment, design, permits, installation, inspection, and connection to the utility. Include realistic timelines based on your experience.

Answer common questions

AI can help draft answers to questions like:

  • How does solar work on my home?
  • What affects how much energy panels produce?
  • What maintenance is needed?
  • What happens during a power outage?

Review every answer for accuracy and avoid general claims about savings.

Be careful with numbers

Savings, incentives, and tax credits depend on many factors and change over time. Don't let AI promise specific savings or incentives. Use official sources and your own proposals for those figures.

Follow up thoughtfully

Solar decisions take time. AI can help you write a follow-up sequence that answers questions and provides useful information without pressure.

Post-installation communication

After installation, customers appreciate guidance on monitoring their system and what to do if something seems off. AI can turn your instructions into an easy-to-read guide.

Build referrals

Happy solar customers often talk to neighbors. AI can help write a referral request that's friendly and informative.
