We’re Still at the Beginning in Terms of Applications

A great deal has been made in recent years about the ongoing advancement of solar technology. Meanwhile, a quiet technological revolution has been going on within the solar installation industry itself. It seems that more and more installers and manufacturers are finding ways to employ advanced technologies to augment the various aspects of their systems and their business as a whole.

Everything from advanced power generating estimation software being used in the sales process, to the employment of robotic cleaning and maintenance systems and drones is being adopted by savvy solar installation companies throughout the country. Advanced technology can streamline processes, increase the efficiency of installed systems, and help close more deals. Read on for an update on some of this advanced tech, and how it might benefit your solar installation business.

Robotic Cleaning and Maintenance for Existing Systems

At large solar power plants throughout the country, robotic cleaning and maintenance crews are being employed in greater and greater numbers to ensure maximum efficiency and power generation of solar PV panels.

Bird droppings, tree litter, airborne trash, pollen, and many other substances can end up sapping solar panels of their energy-generating potential before a human crew might come by, notice the situation, and take appropriate measures. Round-the-clock robotic monitoring and cleaning fixes this problem in a flash.

Drones for Solar Estimating and Troubleshooting

Face it: every time you or one of your installers climbs a ladder to complete an estimate, troubleshoot a problem, or investigate damage to an existing system, your company is at risk of liability. But what if you could employ a drone in all of the above scenarios?

The cost of aerial drones has come down considerably in recent years, making this a potentially life-saving technology that can save your solar installation company both money and time.

Estimating Software for Solar Sales

Another effective use of advanced technology in the solar power installation business comes in the form of the energy use and generation modeling software currently being used by many companies throughout the country.

Advanced software can give potential customers an accurate, visual representation of the energy they will use far into the future, as well as the savings that installing a modern solar power system will generate for them.

There Are Many Ways to Use Technology to Drive Your Solar Business

With so many advanced technologies coming available, it only makes sense for savvy solar installation business owners to weigh the potential use of each against the needs of their teams and customers.

Advancements in technology within the industry don’t necessarily need to be matched with early adoptions of expensive technologies, but utilizing tested advanced technology where it makes good business sense is a wise investment in both the present and the future of your solar installation business.
