Intro

Solar objections center on savings skepticism, spouse, cost, waiting, and roof/HOA fear. Use acknowledge → strategy → action. Prefer booking the site survey with both homeowners.

1. “Will I really save?”

Acknowledge: “Totally fair — let’s use your bill, not a generic promise.”
Strategy: Savings depend on usage, rates, and design.
Action: “Can we pull your usage and book a site survey to firm the numbers?”

2. “I need to talk to my spouse.”

Acknowledge: “Both of you should be comfortable.”
Strategy: Get both on the next step.
Action: Book the site survey with both homeowners on the line.

3. “Solar is too expensive.”

Acknowledge: “Cost is the #1 question we get.”
Strategy: Show monthly impact under real options you offer.
Action: Walk options; book survey if they want accurate pricing.

4. “I’ll wait for better tech / incentives.”

Acknowledge: “Waiting can make sense — here’s what’s true today.”
Strategy: No speculative guarantees.
Action: Offer a current estimate; book survey so design is ready.

5. “Roof / HOA issues.”

Acknowledge: “Those matter — we shouldn’t guess.”
Strategy: Use your real roof/HOA process.
Action: Collect facts; book on-site survey for answers.
