How does EverBright help solar companies with customer relationships?

EverBright is your go-to if you want a complete solution that helps you to manage your customer relationships. As experienced as you may be at solar software or setting up home solar and battery storage projects, sales management is essential if you want to close the deal.  

Our intuitive address lookup tool allows you to gain critical project design insights such as weather, incentives, energy usage, and utility data.  

Be recognized for being a top solar professional by automating customer follow-up times and dates, tracking the status of contracts for signature, and keeping lead notes up to date. 

Accurate solar design is essential for a growing business, but you need the correct utility data and energy modeling before you start designing the solar project. 

EverBright takes the guesswork out of electricity rate forecasting and usage modeling with the most up-to-date utility and rate plan data that auto-populates based on the lead’s address. It’s a great tool if the homeowner doesn't have their energy bill on hand; you can quickly move the sales process along using historical utility data. When the homeowner does grab an actual utility bill, it’s easy to update the project later with the actual usage data. 

Boost your solar design process with a consistent feed of exact present-day energy consumption insights and best-in-class forecasting APIs. 

Of course, things change over time. Your energy consumption today may not be representative of tomorrow. Get granular by showing potential electricity bill increases that a swimming pool or electric vehicle's charging can introduce. Now you know how many solar panels you need based on your future energy needs, not just today.

New to solar financing? You can find more information about the options available and how to offer financing options in the section below. 

There are three ways homeowners can finance solar panel systems and battery storage. 

  1. Cash purchase: When homeowners purchase a solar energy system, they make long-term (i.e., 25-year) investment for electricity used in their home. The main issue with paying cash is that solar energy equipment typically has a high upfront cost. 
  1. Power purchase agreement (PPA) or leased: Homeowners can purchase the energy their solar panels produce through a power purchase agreement (PPA) or by leasing the panels. The financier owns, monitors, and maintains the system.  
  1. Retail Installment Contracts (RICs): A solar RIC is an extension of credit by a seller to a consumer for purchasing solar panels and other items related to the system. With a solar RIC, the consumer owns the system at the end of the term and can take advantage of various incentives, including the solar tax credit. 

Providing financing solutions requires many mundane tasks, such as running a credit check, pulling a title report, and providing approval documents. Moreover, there's managing project documents and managing your general operations.  

By automating these tasks, you can free up time to focus on the things that matter, like growing your business. A software solution like EverBright can also reduce overall operational costs, allowing you to offer competitive quotes for your projects.
