Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the solar production estimation?
Energy Data uses NASA and NREL solar irradiance datasets with location-specific tilt and orientation adjustments. Results typically fall within 5-8% of actual production data from installed systems in the same area. For formal proposals, always validate with NREL's PVWatts calculator and note that production estimates are projections.
Does the tool track ITC percentage changes and bonus adder availability?
Deep Research can pull the latest guidance on the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) from IRS, DOE, and tax news sources. Solar incentives change frequently — always verify current rates before presenting to a client and consult a tax professional for client-specific advice.
Can I use satellite imagery to estimate roof size accurately enough for proposals?
Satellite imagery provides a useful remote pre-qualification tool, but pixel-level measurements have 2-5% margin of error and cannot detect roof condition, structural capacity, or age. Use it to filter out poor candidates and prioritize site visits — always get physical measurements before finalizing a proposal.
How can I use AI to improve lead quality for solar sales?
Lead Finder can identify business decision-makers and homeowners with relevant signals (high energy usage industries, recent building permits, sustainability commitments). Combining this with local electricity rate data helps you target prospects who will see the strongest financial returns — producing higher close rates than untargeted door-to-door canvassing.
