Tests Risk · Market Saturation & Pricing PressureReveals · Reveals what truly drives their purchasing decisions beyond just price (e.g., reliability, specific technology, speed, insurance, certifications). If price is the only factor, it's a red flag.
Q03

Have you ever used a service that included de-ionized water cleaning or thermal drone inspection for your solar arrays? If so, what was your experience, and what were the results?

Tests Risk · High Reliance on Specialized Technology & AMC AdoptionReveals · Reveals their past exposure and perceived value of the core specialized technologies. If they've tried it and found no benefit, or never considered it, it's a red flag.

What kind of maintenance contracts do you currently have in place for your commercial solar panels, if any? What led you to choose that specific arrangement (e.g., annual, on-demand, self-service)?

Tests Risk · High Reliance on Specialized Technology & AMC AdoptionReveals · Reveals their existing commitment to recurring maintenance and their rationale, indicating AMC adoption potential. If they only do on-demand or self-service, it's a red flag.

Tests Risk · Operational Cost Overruns (Labor & Equipment)Reveals · Reveals their sensitivity to cost overruns and potential pain points that automation could address, and what they currently pay for labor/equipment indirectly. If they report no headaches or unexpected costs, it's a red flag.

Green Flag · Buy Signal

Our current cleaning methods are insufficient, we've experienced significant power loss or unexpected repairs due to poor maintenance, and we're actively seeking a more effective, reliable, and comprehensive annual service that includes performance monitoring and can justify a higher investment.

Red Flag · Polite Lies

We already have a low-cost provider we're satisfied with, and we've never seen a need for advanced inspection or recurring contracts for cleaning. Our panels perform adequately with our current approach.
