Understanding Solar Customers: Needs & Motivations

About the Course:

The success of a solar energy project starts with understanding the customer—what they need, why they are interested in solar, and what factors impact their decision. This microcredential course provides hands-on training through 3D interactive scenarios and conversational AI simulations to help learners develop customer assessment skills. By engaging in real-world decision-making exercises, students will learn how to gather critical customer information and identify the motivations that drive solar adoption. This course is ideal for solar sales professionals, consultants, and installers looking to refine their customer engagement approach. It is part of our structured Photovoltaic Technician Course Online, designed to prepare technicians for real-world solar installations.
