As the solar industry continues to grow and evolve, staying ahead of the competition means adapting to new trends and consumer demands. One of the most significant shifts in the market has been the rise of the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) option, which has already revolutionized other door-to-door industries like home security and pest control. Only the companies that embraced this change have thrived. Now, it's time for solar dealers to follow suit and offer a DIY option to their customers.
Industries such as home security and pest control have successfully transitioned to DIY models, catering to a growing demographic of customers who prefer a hands-on approach. By providing DIY kits, these industries have managed to reduce costs, increase sales, and meet the needs of a broader audience. Solar dealers can learn from this shift, as many prospective solar customers are also skilled and eager to install their systems.
One of the primary reasons customers shy away from traditional solar installations is the high cost. A professionally installed solar system can be prohibitively expensive for many households.
However, by offering a DIY option, dealers can provide a more affordable alternative—about 40% less than the national average. This cost reduction makes solar accessible to a wider range of people who are keen to save on energy bills but cannot afford the initial outlay for a full-service installation.
Incorporating a DIY option into your sales strategy isn't just about meeting demand; it's about capturing sales that would otherwise fall through. Many potential customers are enthusiastic about solar but hesitant due to the installation costs. By offering a DIY solution, you can turn these hesitant prospects into satisfied customers. Plus, you still earn a commission through our competitive redline and profit-sharing model, which only gets better with higher volumes!
All you need to do is sell the customer and collect their deposit. That's it!
