Assessing solar sales prospects — qualifying leads, doing initial site evaluations, building pricing and design proposals that closing reps then walk through with customers. The role sits between front-funnel outreach and full closing, with metrics counting qualified handoffs.
As a Solar Sales Assessor, you evaluate solar opportunities — both qualifying customer interest and assessing property viability. You might conduct initial consultations, assess roof conditions, review energy usage, and determine whether properties and customers are good solar candidates.
Your day combines customer interaction with technical evaluation. You might meet with homeowners to understand their interests, evaluate roof conditions and shading, review utility bills, and provide preliminary assessments. You serve as the bridge between lead generation and detailed proposal development.
The challenge is accurate qualification that supports good decisions. You need to identify genuine opportunities and filter out situations that won't work, while being helpful to everyone you meet. Overqualifying wastes sales resources; underqualifying disappoints customers. The people who thrive here are good listeners, technically observant, and can make sound assessments efficiently.
