Host: Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Topps Talk.

Host: I’m your host, and today we’re going to be discussing why solar consultations are worth it.

Host: We have a special guest with us today, Brian, one of our solar consultants.

Host: Brian, thank you so much for joining us today.

Brian: Thanks for having me.

Host: So Brian, let’s start with the basics. What exactly is a solar consultation?

Brian: A solar consultation is really an educational session for homeowners who are considering solar.

Brian: We sit down with them, either virtually or in person, and discuss their specific energy needs.

Brian: We look at their utility bills, their roof, their energy usage patterns, and their financial goals.

Brian: Then we provide personalized information about how solar might work for their unique situation.

Host: Why is it important for homeowners to get a consultation before going solar?

Brian: Solar is a significant investment, and it’s not one-size-fits-all.

Brian: Without a proper consultation, homeowners might end up with a system that’s too large, too small, or not optimally designed.

Brian: A consultation helps ensure they get the right system for their specific needs and maximum return on investment.

Host: What are some common misconceptions that you address during consultations?

Brian: One big one is that solar is too expensive. Many people don’t realize how affordable it’s become.

Brian: Another is that they need a battery. While batteries are great, they’re not necessary for most grid-tied systems.

Brian: We also clarify how net metering works and explain the various financing options available.

Host: How does a consultation help homeowners avoid potential pitfalls?

Brian: Unfortunately, there are some misleading sales tactics in the solar industry.

Brian: During a consultation, we provide transparent information about costs, savings, and what to expect.

Brian: We also help homeowners understand their utility’s specific policies, which can significantly impact their savings.

Brian: And we make sure they’re aware of all available incentives, like the federal tax credit.

Host: What information should homeowners have ready for a consultation?

Brian: The most helpful thing is a recent electric bill, ideally from a high-usage month.

Brian: It’s also good to know the age of their roof and if they’re planning any major changes to their energy usage.

Brian: For example, if they’re planning to buy an electric vehicle or add a pool, that would impact their system design.

Host: What makes Solar Topps’ consultation process different from other companies?

Brian: We focus on education rather than high-pressure sales tactics.

Brian: Our goal is to help homeowners make an informed decision, even if that means solar isn’t right for them right now.

Brian: We also provide a detailed proposal with realistic production estimates and financial projections.

Brian: And we take the time to answer all questions and concerns, no matter how long it takes.

Host: Any final thoughts on why solar consultations are worth it?

Brian: A good consultation saves you time, money, and potential headaches down the road.

Brian: It’s a no-obligation way to get expert advice tailored to your specific situation.

Brian: Even if you decide solar isn’t right for you right now, you’ll walk away better informed about your energy options.

Host: Brian, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us today.

Brian: My pleasure. I hope this helps viewers understand the value of a proper solar consultation.
