Be the adviser a finance head calls before choosing a solar or wind route.
The finance head of a textile unit near Tiruppur has seen the power bill rise again and has been shown three proposals for rooftop solar, one for off-site open access and a suggestion of a group captive arrangement.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
A renewable energy consultant advises factories, developers, institutions and landowners on whether and how to use solar, wind or hybrid power, covering feasibility, procurement route, tender help and approvals. Marketing makes you the independent voice a finance head or promoter finds. Sales turns a first call into a paid study. GullySales prepares the route explainers, the paid first-study page and the state notes your team reviews.
Every proposal comes from a vendor who sells that one route. The finance head wants someone with nothing to sell but advice, and asks the auditor and two industry friends whom they would call.
The consultants who receive that call have written plainly about the choice before: what each route means in cash and in paperwork, and what it is wrong for. A stranger could read that and judge the thinking before any fee was agreed.

How buyers decide
How renewable energy consultants are chosen.
Industrial and commercial buyers hire a consultant when a large decision is coming: a captive power plan, a new plant, an energy cost review, a tender or a lender's query. The buyer is a finance head, plant head or promoter, who asks peers and the auditor for names, then checks whether the consultant has worked on a similar scale and state. Independence matters, so a consultant tied to a vendor is trusted less.
Developers, landowners and investors hire for feasibility, land and grid assessment, tender strategy and regulatory advice. They compare consultants on their record in the state's rules and on whether they can produce a report that a lender or a board will accept.
Repeat work and referrals depend on the quality of the report and the follow-through afterwards. Policies and tariff rules differ by state and change, so buyers value a consultant who says what holds today and what needs rechecking.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for renewable energy consultants.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Buyers think we are another solar vendor”
Prospects expect us to push an installer, and it takes a long first call to establish that we do not.
“Free advice is expected before any fee”
Callers want a full opinion on the phone, and we give away the study's best part before agreeing scope.
“Our expertise is invisible online”
We know the rules in our states well, but our website lists services with no explanation of how we think.
“Proposals lose to vendors who offer free studies”
Customers compare our fee with a vendor's free report and do not see that the two are not the same thing.
“Policy changes make old content wrong”
An article we wrote about a state's rules becomes stale and nobody on our side updates it.
“Engagements end with a report and no further contact”
Once the report is delivered, we hear nothing until the client has a new problem and calls someone else.
What we do
What we do for renewable energy consultants.
Everything included for renewable energy consultants.
Explainer pages on each decision a buyer faces
Pages on rooftop versus off-site solar, open access, group captive, wind hybrid and lender reports, each written in plain words with what each route is wrong for.
A paid first-study offer
A scoped, paid starting study with a clear output, shown on a page so that enquiries ask for it and not for a free opinion.
A comparison note on consultant versus vendor
A short piece explaining the difference between an independent study and a vendor's free proposal, and what to ask either.
A sample report extract with client details removed
The structure and sample pages of a feasibility report, with figures and names removed, showing how conclusions are reached.
A state-by-state notes page kept current
One page per state you work in that explains the type of rules in general terms and is checked by your team before it is published.
A post-report call script
Questions for the call after delivery: what the client decided and whether support is needed for tender, procurement or inspection.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by source and by type of buyer
- Scoping calls held against studies commissioned
- Studies that led to a second engagement
- Referrals from auditors and associations
- Webinar attendees who asked for a call
- Enquiries from students or vendors, logged apart from real buyers
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Every service, written for renewable energy consultants
Each has its own page: what it involves for renewable energy consultants, what you get, and what it is measured on.
- Lead generationA good lead is a finance head with a power bill and a decision, not a job-seeking vendor.
- SEORank for the question a finance head types, not for the installer's keyword.
- Social media marketingUse LinkedIn to show the thinking behind your advice before a buyer ever calls.
- Content marketingPublish the page you wish every buyer had read before the first call.
- Buyer personasWrite down who decides, who advises and who signs before drafting a single page.
- CRMA consultant's CRM records the referrer, the decision and the call after the report.
- Follow-up systemsPlan the next contact before the call ends, and plan one after the report too.
- WhatsApp marketingUse WhatsApp to send the explainer and confirm the call, not to broadcast offers.
- Digital marketingChoose the few channels where an industrial buyer looks for advice, and skip the rest.
- WebsiteBuild a site that shows how you reason and asks for a scoping call.

Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
