Study Notes
Selling Solar Effectively
- Focus on quality solar systems versus cheap alternatives to educate customers.
- Use the “Quality Solar Blueprint” to differentiate between high-quality and low-cost solar options.
- The primary goal is to help customers understand the differences, not to turn them into solar experts.
The Challenge of Selling Quality
- Competing against low-priced solar systems (e.g., 6.6kW for $2997) can seem daunting but is unnecessary.
- Many low-cost solar businesses struggle with low margins and high failure rates.
- High-performing companies may sell similar systems for up to $8000 by emphasizing quality over price.
Building Compelling Stories
- Without an educational narrative, solar products become commodities, leading to price-based competition.
- Create an engaging story to highlight the risks associated with cheap solar systems, showcasing the value of quality alternatives.
- Address customer goals and aspirations to build a stronger emotional appeal.
Price vs. Value Understanding
- Customers weigh price against perceived value and will accept higher prices if they recognize advantages.
- When value is unclear, price becomes the primary focus; thus, it's essential to demonstrate distinct qualities.
Crafting Your Pricing Story
- Develop a compelling educational narrative that connects offerings to customer priorities.
- Include elements such as:
- Unique selling propositions (USPs)
- Key differences and strengths
- Risks of cheaper options
- Rank these quality differentiators to tailor the sales pitch effectively.
Identifying Quality Differences
- Highlight top quality differences and how they benefit customers.
- Use exercises to define strategies that keep customers informed about potential risks with lower-quality products.
Risks Associated with Cheap Products
- Highlight potential negative consequences of choosing cheaper solar systems.
- Educate customers on the hidden risks that may not be immediately apparent.
- Stress that opting for inexpensive alternatives usually results in future problems or costs.

- Ensure that all key points are included to effectively convey the value of quality solar systems.
