2. How do I determine the appropriate system size for a customer?

To determine the appropriate system size, you need to assess the customer's electricity consumption patterns, the size of their property, and their budget. Analyze their electricity bills, understand their energy needs, and recommend a system that meets their requirements while maximizing savings.

Objections are common, and it's essential to address them professionally. Educate customers on the long-term savings and environmental benefits of solar power. Provide case studies, testimonials, and data-driven projections to alleviate their concerns. Additionally, offer a money-back guarantee or performance guarantees to build trust.

5. How can I leverage social media platforms like TikTok for lead generation?

TikTok is a powerful platform for reaching a wide audience. Create engaging and informative content showcasing the benefits of solar power, share customer testimonials, and highlight successful installations. Encourage existing customers to share their experiences on your TikTok channel, and collaborate with influencers in the sustainability space to expand your reach.
