Solar Estimator is a website tool concept for electricians and solar installers. It turns a customer’s power bill into an indicative system estimate, giving the first enquiry more useful context.
An earlier answer
for the customer.
Someone considering solar wants to understand the system size, cost and possible saving before committing to a conversation. The idea was to put a useful first estimate on an installer’s website, starting with a number the customer already knows.
The tool takes the monthly power bill and brings the indicative results into one view. It is designed to help the customer arrive at the next conversation better informed.
The numbers,
together.
System size, upfront cost, potential savings and payback sit in the same result panel. The customer can see how the parts of the estimate relate to each other.
For the installer, that is the intended value of the tool. The first conversation can begin with some context about the customer’s usage and expectations.
Understand what
shapes the estimate.
The assumptions sit below the answer in an expandable section. They explain the inputs and the basis of the figures, so the simplified result still has visible working behind it.
The tool is designed to support an enquiry and a site-specific assessment. It gives the customer an initial picture before those details are confirmed.
