AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

There are several high drop-off points in the acquisition funnel that lead to a lot of wasted work for potential user generators and installers
The end result is a higher overall cost to all customers, causing problems to persist due to high barriers to entry
It also creates an unpredictable sales and installation pipeline for installers

Embodiment Construction

[0010] The detailed description set forth below is intended as a description of various configurations of the subject technology and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the subject technology may be practiced. The accompanying drawings are incorporated herein and constitute a part of the Detailed Description. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of the subject technology. It will be clear and obvious, however, that the subject technology is not limited to the specific details set forth herein and can be practiced without these details.

[0011] Large amounts of data on utility customers and / or other data can be used to identify high-quality potential customers of solar energy, thereby reducing customer acquisition costs for solar installations. In some implementations, solar potential users are identified by generating several scores and combining the scores into an overall potential...

Abstract

In accordance with aspects of the subject technology, systems and methods for identifying potential users of solar energy are described. In some implementations, data and / or other information about utility customers is used to identify high-quality solar potential customers, thereby reducing additional workload for installers and resulting in an overall reduction in the total cost of solar energy implementations.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 984,588, filed April 25, 2014, entitled "RESIDENTIAL SOLAR CUSTOMERACQUISITION AND SOLAR LEAD QUALIFICATION," the entire contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present technology relates to methods and systems for qualifying solar leads and in particular qualifying solar leads to identify high quality solar leads. Background technique [0004] In the residential solar market, customer acquisition costs can account for as much as 20% of the total cost of a solar installation. This is due to the fact that many consumers show high interest in solar installations, but close to 95% probably never follow through. There are several high drop-off points in the acquisition funnel that lead to a lot of wasted work for potential user generators and installers. The end result is a higher overall cost to...
