Roofing Contractor

The Reality

It's a surprise seeing how many roofing companies aren't providing solar options in their portfolio. Even the ones who do, don't provide many options. Jake, along with an established team at TSA, are here to help make sure you're not missing out on anymore opportunities. The best part about adding solar to your roofing business is that you already understand roofs, so grasping the concepts of solar should be fairly simple.

The Edge

When selling or repairing roofs, you will be able to offer solar options during the process and it will sound as appealing as getting new tires while you're already in the shop getting new wheels. Cash, loan or PPA solar contracts are all options that can be appealing to your customers. Not only will you be saving money by doing the roof and solar at the same time, but you will also generate more profit from selling two things instead of one. The homeowner will even be happier because they can potentially save money so it's a win-win.

The Complexity

There are multiple ways to offer this service. If you're a roofing contractor new to the solar industry and don't want to learn installations, you can use SunPower to handle corporate installs while you handle the roofing work.


If you decide to become an installing dealer you will be able to profit even more by having your team handle the installation at the same time as the roof, although there will be a learning curve involved


If you already offer solar, expanding your options will give you a greater edge over your competitors allowing you to compete with anyone who offers companies you haven't been able to provide in the past. We will also help you with current companies to help your team become more knowledgable, efficient and effective in the market.

HVAC

The Reality

One if the greatest electricity costs for a homeowner is their air conditioning, so theoretically, being able to conveniently offer solar to your customers during a consultation seems almost too good to be true. Being able to offer solar options as either a cheaper alternative, or a compliment will greatly enhance the customers experience with your company. Being an HVAC company that offers solar will only suggest there are benefits for the homeowner.

The Edge

Let's say the homeowner doesn't like the price of the more energy efficient upgrades you are offering, you will be able to offer solar as another alternative instead of leaving without a deal. On the other hand, if they need an upgrade but cannot afford it, suggesting solar through a PPA plan can decrease their. utility bill and still leave you with so much profit allowing you to give them a cheaper price. Customer satisfaction is the endgame here.

The Complexity

After we teach you  how to sell solar with your existing business structure, being able to offer it while you're already with the homeowner will be extremely simple. You will be responsible for closing a contract, and the rest beyond that isn't going to effect you. Corporate or local contractors can handle installations while you focus on the HVAC side of the job.

Electrical

The Reality

When someone hears you're an electrician, they will assume you have some working knowledge or connections to solar. Largely that is the truth, but how many electrician can you say is able to directly provide a homeowner with solar? Electrical knowledge is one of the most critical parts of being able to provide solar and have a happy customer. Being in the electrical field, you will be able to decipher when solar is a good route for the homeowner.

The Edge

If you're in a consultation with a homeowner for electrical work regarding additions, remodels or repairs, costly issues tend to arise very often. With the help of our TSA tea, we will teach you how you can save the homeowners money while increasing your profits during certain situations such as electrical upgrades. PPA plans are great options to substantially save the homeowner money and ensure your potential customer goes from unsure to closed.

The Complexity

Being able to provide opportunities to go solar while staying in the electrical field will not alter your company in any way. If a homeowner is expected to drastically increase their energy consumption or need costly electrical upgrades, simply offer them everything we will be teaching your team and see how happy the customer will be at the end of the day. You remain an electrician, only now you will have more jobs closing.

Landscaping

The Reality

How many landscaping companies can offer just about every option you can provide? Almost all of them. How often have you heard of a competitor in the landscaping world offer solar? Chances are you haven't. We're giving you an opportunity to add another option to your business that will close a deal you might've lost in the past just about every time. Energy consumption can increase largely depending on certain outdoor addition the homeowner might wish to add such as fountains, pools, lightings and outdoor kitchens.

The Edge

Offering solar to compliment all the other products and services you currently provide can give you a unique advantage over your competitors. For example, if the homeowner wishes to remodel their pool  but doesn't want to proceed with a costly upgrade to their water heater, pumps and lighting, offering solar on the spot can really change the opportunities for you to close the job and for them to get exactly what they wanted.

The Complexity

We understand you are in the landscaping business, which is why we have created a team of professionals to make sure the process is simple for your team. By simply learning how to sell solar with your proposals and close a contract, you can focus on doing what you're already experienced in experienced in while generating even more profits than you ever imagined.

Developers

The Reality

As a real estate developer, your number one priority is maximizing the market values while minimizing the costs. In today's market, being energy efficient creates more of a curb appeal than your standard options when selling properties. We're giving you an opportunity to learn how to skip the middleman in order to keep your costs down and increase your property value ten fold. Yes your investments might increase, but so will your returns.

The Edge

From a real estate perspective, purchasing solar outright with cash deals is the ideal option. If you are developing 50 houses and decide to have solar installed on all the roofs, not only will it save money during installation, but each property will be able to generate a return 3 times higher than the cost of the solar. Returns is the big picture in this industry and we understand this, which is why we're here to help you see the benefits of solar.

The Complexity

Adding solar to your development properties is as simple as going directly to the distributor instead of the middleman. Even though your daily tasks will not be altered throughout this process, you are still able to generate a higher return on each property and sell easier.

General Contractors

The Reality

General contractors are tasked to manage and sub-contract everyone needed to complete a project from start to finish. We are here to teach you how to eliminate one sub-contractor from your list by going directly to the supplier. The options for you are to reduce the price for the customer, or keep the added profits for yourself and use it to expand your business.

The Edge

When working with customers on a project, you have an open canvas to offer different options. Some clients don't know what they want until you suggest them, some may request bluntly tell you the wish to add solar. You will learn the process of closing solar contracts for a homeowner and have one less middleman to worry about. In simple terms, we're bringing some of the projects 'in house' in the simplest way possible.

The Complexity

As a general contractor, you already are handling the process of bringing in everyone to take care of a specific area. All we will be doing is teaching you how to go directly to the supplier and save a large amount of money that can be put in other areas. Theoretically, nothing changes other than your returns and who you will be submitting information/documents too.
