How Field Service Management Helps Lower Solar Soft Costs

Predictions for the growth of the solar industry in America are looking good these days, giving a much-needed push towards adopting sustainable energy options. However, solar soft costs, the non-hardware expenses of deploying solar, remain problematic for many solar and storage businesses. Overall system costs for solar dropped by 25% in the past seven years, while soft costs account for 65% of the total costs for residential solar and 57% of the total costs for commercial rooftop solar.

This new eBook details what a field service management (FSM) solution can do to address the burden of soft costs for solar businesses. It discusses how FSM cuts cost around the installation process by:

• Comprehensive workflow creation for streamlined processes
• Real-time communication between office, field staff, and customers
• Data-driven business decisions using analytics and reporting.
