Recorded at the Smart Energy Conference in Sydney, this episode kicks off a full day of podcasting from the Solar Sidekicks booth.
Pat and Lauren sit down with Kat and Richard from GreenSketch to chat about solar quoting, homeowner education, installer support, AI, and how the industry can make the sales and design process a whole lot smoother.
We get into GreenSketch’s AI tool, Emily, which helps homeowners see solar and battery options for their own roof, while also helping installers save time, reduce paperwork, and create better proposals.
There’s plenty in this one about batteries, compliance, bollards, quoting tools, STCs, GreenDeal, One Stop Warehouse, and why installers still hate paperwork.
A really interesting chat about where solar sales, design, and software are heading next.
