The San Diego-based company, which estimates it will supply solar to more than 7,000 homes in 2013, rolled-out this month SunOpps Lite, an interactive iPad app that allows dealers to instantly assess the bottom line viability of solar for a homeowner. SunOpps Lite complements OneRoof Energys new web-based platform, SunOpps, a user-friendly, scalable platform that gives dealers and referral partners the ability to create, track and customize proposals and lease agreements from lead to close.
While solar is a money-saving solution for millions of Americans, its not right for everyone. The SunOpps Lite tool helps us to immediately determine if we can save the homeowner money with the push of a button. In most cases, we can save homeowners 5 to 25 percent in the first year, states Stuart Graham of First National Solar, a OneRoof Energy dealer and technology user.
To be profitable in the solar industry, you need to build your company smarter. We are building OneRoof on innovation. SunOpps Lite helps dealers, salespeople and their door-to-door canvassing teams accelerate and automate the sales process by generating and managing leads through an interconnected platform, said David Field, president and CEO of OneRoof Energy.
Field continued, By providing immediate feedback on estimates and prospecting, dealers and referral partners are able to improve efficiency and profitability. In fact, the functionality is so user-friendly that it makes it possible for non-solar experts to effectively sell solar.
All the information a sales associate submits to SunOpps Lite is automatically synced with OneRoofs lead generation platform and the dealers database management platforms, such as Salesforce.com, keeping both parties data organized and accurate. SunOpps allows dealers to design a solar system, price the system, generate proposals and secure electronic signatures on financial documents, among other features. Together, these technologies help to dramatically simplify and expedite the sales process for dealers.
Some of the other notable features of the SunOpps Lite app include:
- Mobile lead generation
- Immediate estimated savings examples based on customers home
- Assistance in the prospecting process to determine if a homeowner is a strong candidate for solar
