Register for our FREE online webinar course

We've condensed decades of industry experience into four 1 hour training sessions that will transform the way you sell C&I solar and batteries to financial decision makers.


We call it the Feasibility First Method. It's the most successful strategy we've seen, and it underpins everything we develop here at Orkestra.

The Masterclass has been specifically developed for businesses selling commercial solar and battery projects, solar business owners, sales teams, engineers, energy analysts and consultants.

Companies who successfully adopt the Feasibility First Method will:

  • Increase conversion rates in the C&I segment
  • Reduce customer acquisition costs and time-to-close
  • Increase your revenue / gross margin per deal
  • Improve your sales + engineering team productivity
  • Expand your service offering beyond solar

BONUS Free access to the Feasibility First Toolbox: a range of supporting resources to help your business achieve C&I sales success.
