What’s the difference between a Solar Broker, a Solar Energy Consultant?
A Solar Broker shops on behalf of your energy needs in an impartial manner, with advocacy, guidance and your best interests at heart. However, a Solar Broker will not charge you a fee for this service. Rather, your Solar Broker is compensated for his/her consulting services by the solar company from who you purchase. Contrary, a Solar Energy Consultant is a “fee based” service, where this type of consultant shops on behalf of your energy needs in an impartial manner, with advocacy, guidance and your best interests at heart. The difference here is that you “hire” the Solar Energy Consultant to to represent you through one or more phases of your project. The level of services you contract with your consultant may vary from minor research, to in depth advice, guidance, leadership, negotiation, feasibility study and more.
