AI prompts for solar and energy companies

Solar customers have a lot of questions and good reasons to be careful. AI can explain proposals in plain words, walk customers through the wait after signing and check your team's messages for promises you can't keep. Savings, rebates and approvals depend on the home and on current local programs, so these prompts never promise them.

Questions

Can AI tell a customer how much they will save?

No, and it should not try. Savings depend on the home, usage, power rates and weather, and AI does not know those for sure. Use it to explain your own estimates clearly and to label them as estimates.

Can AI tell me which rebates or tax credits apply?

Not reliably. Programs change often and AI may be out of date. Have customers check current local programs and talk to a tax pro, and check anything about incentives yourself before you share it.

Is it okay to paste a customer's power bill into an AI chat?

Cover the name, address and account number first. The usage numbers are what matter. When in doubt, type in only the numbers you need instead of pasting the whole bill.

Can AI help train new sales reps?

Yes. Ask it to play a homeowner with common worries so reps can practice, and use the claim check prompt to review their scripts. Make it a firm rule that no rep promises savings, rebates or approvals.
