Are you a solar installation company manager?

Solar energy installer of 3-20 employees

Wastes time explaining technical concepts the client doesn't understand, and in the end they pick the competitor who gives a price with no detail.

“If the quote is clear and the client understands what they'll save, they decide faster. The problem is many competitors hide costs.”

From wasting time to closing more sales

✗

Before

Made technical quotes in Excel with specifications the client didn't understand. It took hours and then the client chose the cheapest.

✓

After

Generates a professional quote with detailed equipment, paperwork included, savings estimate and warranties. The client signs digitally.

Result: Better-informed clients who value the transparency, less time spent on explanations and a higher project close rate.

Frequently asked questions about solar energy quotes

Can I include the savings estimate in the quote?

In the notes you can add an estimate of annual production in kWh, the estimated saving in money and the payback period of the investment.

How do I reflect available grants?

You can state the total price and in the terms detail the applicable grants and incentives with their estimated discount. The paperwork cost goes as a separate line.

Can options with and without a battery be quoted?

Create two quotes: a basic installation without a battery and another with storage. The client compares both options and their payback periods.

Guide to quoting in solar energy

The quote for a photovoltaic solar installation is one of the most technical on the market and, at the same time, the one that most needs to translate engineering data into understandable financial benefits for the owner. The quote should include the sizing of the installation (kWp), the number and model of panels, the type of inverter, the mounting structure, the wiring and the electrical protections, all with reference datasheets.

What really convinces the client is the savings simulation: estimated annual production in kWh, percentage of self-consumption, saving on the electricity bill, payback period and 25-year return. Including the breakdown of administrative paperwork — installation permit, electrical certificate, self-consumption registration and the request for export compensation — shows that the company manages the project from start to finish.

DealForge lets solar energy installers create complete quotes with detailed equipment, an energy-savings simulation, paperwork included and warranties for each component (panels, inverter, installation). The client approves the installation with electronic signature and both parties have a professional document that backs up the investment.
