5 Ways Solar Estimators Help Your Business
Every solar installation is unique, so in order to provide an accurate estimate that both your business and your customer can rely on, it’s important to use the best tools available for the job. A solar estimator can help through every step of the process, from the initial system design to creating a bill of materials and providing an accurate installation quote. Read on to learn exactly how a solar estimator can help your solar installation business.
How do Solar Estimators Work?
Solar estimators are software applications that can help you determine what equipment you will need for the solar installation, as well as the total costs. To use a solar estimator, you will need to enter basic information about the property and the solar system, such as the output capacity of the solar system and the available roof space. The solar estimator will return a bill of materials that includes everything needed to complete the installation, plus detailed labor and equipment costs.
Factors that can affect the complexity and cost of the project include:
- The output capacity of the solar system
- The available roof space
- Building orientation
- The type of roofing materials
- Equipment selection
- Equipment costs
- Labor costs
- Available tax credits, incentives, and rebates
- And more
Benefits of Adopting a Solar Estimator
A quality solar estimator can be a great tool for any solar installation company, making the process of providing accurate quotes easier than ever. Here are just a few ways that adopting a solar estimator can benefit your business:
Generating Interest in Your Business
Fast, accurate quotes can attract customers to your business and build a sense of trust and integrity. An accurate solar estimator can ensure there are no surprises when the customer receives the bill at the end of the project.
Increasing Website Traffic
A fast and easy way to request an estimate will attract customers to your website. Not only will this help them learn more about your services, but it can also help them take the next step and schedule an installation.
Streamlining the Quote Process
A good cost and scope estimator will make it easy to design the solar system and generate a quote. Quote creation can take up a significant amount of time for some companies. It will also help with lead handling, making it easy to convert that initial interest into a sale.
Simplifying Project Management
A comprehensive solar estimator can help your company design the system, choose the best equipment, estimate costs, and provide a detailed bill of materials. This allows you to create accurate estimates and helps your team better manage each installation.
