The adage goes that a picture is worth 1,000 words. But in the solar industry, a picture is worth about $500 – and maybe a lot more.
At least that is one conclusion that can be drawn from a recent survey of more than 200 U.S. solar installers conducted by Aurora Solar, a San Francisco-based startup that provides software to streamline the sale, design and construction of solar projects.
“We found that, on average, solar installers spend over $500 in change orders,” said Samuel Adeyemo, a co-founder of Aurora.
