How to Sell a Smart Meter in 1 Minute
Every installer knows the scenario: a client invests in solar panels, an EV charging station, and/or a home battery, but hesitates over that 'extra' smart meter. This is a pity, as without a smart meter, the full potential of the installation cannot be realised. Fortunately, there are numerous benefits to highlight demonstrating why a smart meter is indispensable. This blog provides practical tips for advising your clients on this system quickly and convincingly.

Whether it's about saving costs, smart energy usage, or preparing for the future, the smart meter makes it all possible.
Ask the Right Questions
Advising your client effectively begins with asking the right questions. "Would you like to see for yourself how much electricity you generate and how much you consume?" This is an excellent initial question to focus on the control and convenience the meter offers.
