Solar energy sale – become a pro dealer of systems!
If you wish to be a go-getter in residential solar sales, there are few aspects you need to take care of, independently of whether your tasks combine designer and project manager positions, or not.
1. You simply need to know design rules
Naturally, it would be useful to have engineering background, however even if you don’t have one – you still can prepare basic designs together with price quote for your customer – there is nothing on the way for you to become that person! In fact, a lot of people from solar industry acquired necessary skills at work.
You just nead to learn thoroughly all design rules and norms. Also, you have to be absolutely up-to-date with the law (e.g. support mechanism or subsidies knowledge).
