- Does the buyer need to assume anything?
- Is the solar creating savings that are easy to explain?
If the property does not have solar
- What is the current electric bill?
- What is the highest summer bill?
- Is the utility PG&E, SMUD, Roseville Electric, or another provider?
- Is the client interested in batteries or backup power?
- Does the home have a pool, EV, or heavy summer AC usage?
