Solar can be a costly investment, and that is no secret to those considering a solar addition. Homeowners backing out of solar contracts has become an unpredictable roadblock when working to meet solar sales quotas. Locking in commitments from homeowners to go solar lends a long list of challenges for solar businesses.
From long lead times, permitting, and pricing undercuts, solar cancellations are rising. Besides the significant investment, there are limitless options and misunderstandings that pose problems throughout the project pipeline. As rates have risen, cancellations will have a continuous industry impact if businesses cannot change trajectories successfully.
Terminations lead to lost time and money. According to consumer psychology, the likelihood of a cancellation drops precipitously once a project is started. By incorporating duct sealing into your solar solution, you can get the project started immediately with measurable value and energy loss reductions to cut cancellations by 50%.
Reduce before you produce
The objective of any solar contract is to provide enough energy production to offset electric costs. Inefficient homes require more solar panels, which can make it hard to earn a compelling ROI. By reducing energy before applying solar, the business gains flexibility in modeling a solar system that accommodates homeowners. Contractors can better size the solar panels and offer packages that better fit the homeowner’s budget.
As an advanced duct sealing solution, Aeroseal alone accounts for one-third of standard energy goals. It lowers energy consumption by an average of 10-15%, giving the homeowner an immediate impact on HVAC performance for a fast payback period. Homeowners also see the instant impact on the home environment.
“Stickier” sales
Since Aeroseal is applied within the first two weeks after site survey, it makes sales “stickier” by starting the work immediately so you’ll rebound from setbacks. This is imperative in converting sales, leading to higher conversions and project retention.
Coordinating trades, such as duct sealing and solar together, offers homeowners comprehensive bundled solutions to set you apart as the energy expert from your competition – those focusing on solar alone. As solar rebates dwindle, Aeroseal allows you to remain competitive in your quotes.

Citing Vinnie Burgett of Colorado, “Solar leads are expensive, and homeowners make a quick judgement on the price of solar. Aeroseal allows me to differentiate from other solar contractors by initially reducing energy demand to build a solar system that fits each client’s budget while delivering a comfortable home.”
Aeroseal is a comprehensive energy solution that increases energy efficiency on the inside while solar works on the outside.

I think that solar installers should do complete energy audits alongside solar assessments before any other work. Then focus on energy conservation measures, such as windows and doors, plumbing stacks, additional insulation and sealing, etc. before installing a solar system
