Start A Solar Energy Auditing Business

Solar energy auditing assesses solar systems to determine your household’s energy consumption.

A solar energy audit helps households build a proper solar system while ensuring value for the investment by:

  • Revealing potential energy wastage sources
  • Evaluating thermal envelope to reveal any inefficiencies that result in energy loss
  • Allowing solar energy specialists to customize the system based on specific energy requirements
  • Understanding current energy consumption

Property owners and buyers have realized the importance of solar energy audits in increasing the home's resale value. As a result, the demand for solar energy auditors is high, creating a business opportunity for entrepreneurs in that line.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a solar energy auditing business:

Case Study

Hello, my name is Willie Jiang. For a long time, I have been a digital marketer, especially as an SEO specialist. But in March this year, we launched a two-sided marketplace called SolarFeeds, the “Alibaba for solar” if you will.

Our primary “product” is a platform that aims to connect solar installers and suppliers. On this platform, solar suppliers can display their product catalogs, while solar installers can post about their new projects. After browsing through the available products, installers can invite suppliers to submit a quote. Installers will then have the opportunity to compare the prices offered by several suppliers before making a decision.
