How much commission do solar sales reps really make?
There are so many amazing people in the solar industry doing great things to help accelerate the transition to renewable energy resources which does include the door to door sales representatives that helped get the industry to where it is today, but the future of solar is going to be online!
In a door-to-door, face-to-face sales world, commissions are extremely high which drives up the cost of solar reducing the overall value and return on investment for homeowners. While intentions are good we see that the sales tactics can be pretty aggressive and pushy, which overall do not lead to the best customer experience. The typical sales rep in solar makes between $5000 and $7000 in commission per contract that they sell and more than likely they are not employed by the actual company that is going to do the installation and warranty the system. It just doesn’t make sense to pay somebody this kind of commission for a product that has so many benefits.Â
