When you\u2019re talking with a homeowner about installing solar, of course they\u2019re going to ask about the straight up cost of the system. However, installers know what they\u2019re really wondering about is the value of the system compared to the other proposals they receive \u2014 and compared to the cost of doing nothing at all.<\/p>\n

Communicating the true value of a system over its lifetime \u2014 often 20 years or more \u2014 is difficult, though. Being able to provide metrics that demonstrate\u00a0 what the solar installation will be worth will help potential solar customers more easily understand the value your company is offering and trust that they\u2019re making a smart choice.<\/p>\n

What metrics should you highlight? In this article, we compiled some of the most common metrics for quantifying a solar project\u2019s value, how they are calculated, what purpose they serve, and how they can help you close the deal.<\/p>\n
