Customers can get information from solar-powered equipment sales consultants (also known as solar sales reps). They are often the first contact for customers and can provide details about energy incentives and cost savings in relation to solar-powered equipment and products.
A solar sales consultant is a service that helps clients find and secure the best deals for gas, electricity and other forms. Although the traditional role of a solar sales consultant was one for businesses, consultants are increasingly being hired to help residential clients. There are some core responsibilities that guide solar sales consultants in both cases.
A typical Solar sales consultant helps customers understand all available energy options, determine the best options for them, and then assist them in securing that energy at the lowest possible price. This usually involves spending time with customers to determine their needs and then researching energy options. Finally, the consultant will present the options to the client.
The Solar sales consultant will usually take a detailed look at how the customer uses different energy sources as part of an initial energy assessment. Sometimes, this may mean that the Solar sales consultant will introduce new technology to the client to allow them to use more than one source of energy. A hybrid electrical system could be used to provide power from both a utility grid and a storage bank of solar energy. With some luck, the consultant may be able to identify strategies that will aid in energy conservation and also find ways to reduce the customer’s energy costs.
A solar sales consultants’ role goes far beyond providing data and solutions to clients. Many of these consultants also act as energy brokers. The consultant works with the vendor to get the best price for the customer. It may be possible to close the deal immediately depending on the authority given to the consultant or to introduce the customer to the vendor during the final round of negotiations, in order to reach an agreement on a service contract.
The solar sales consultant is often responsible for overseeing the installation of new equipment involved in the provision of new energy services. This allows the consultant to ensure that the equipment is installed in accordance with the contract between the vendor of the service provider and the customer. It also provides adequate training and orientation for those who will be responsible for managing the energy source at their end.
