Most inspectors avoid solar panels. Why? Because they’re not in the SOP, and they’re shrouded in mystery. No noise, no moving parts, no red flags… until a buyer asks, “Does it even work?”
In this episode, host Matt Williams welcomes Cory Vanderpool from Sprk to tackle a growing challenge in the inspection world, how to confidently evaluate solar panels during a home inspection. Cory shares how his company is pioneering a new process that empowers inspectors to offer solar as a high-value ancillary service, without needing to become a solar expert themselves.
They dive into the gaps in traditional home inspections when it comes to solar, the risks buyers face when those systems go uninspected, and how inspectors can step in with a smart, profitable solution. You’ll hear how Sprk’s process works, what data inspectors collect, and how fast the turnaround is. Plus, they break down how this service can help you grow your business and build deeper trust with agents.
5 Key Takeaways:
Solar panels are often excluded from SOPs, but buyers still demand answers.
Sprk enables inspectors to gather simple data and get expert-certified reports.
Most systems seem fine, but 30% have issues buyers need to know about.
This is a high-margin, 15-minute ancillary service you can easily add.
Sprk also equips you with CE courses and marketing tools to win agent referrals.
“The more value you bring, the more money you’re going to make. Feed the root, and the fruit will follow.”, Matt Williams
