Case Studies

ClearSource BPO Reinvents Solar Back-Office Support

Background

Traditionally, solar companies outsourced back-office tasks offshore for cost savings, keeping BPOs at arm’s length from critical operations. ClearSource redefined this model by embedding quality and expertise into the solar back-office function, transforming the BPO-client relationship.

Challenges

  • Delays in project diagram availability for prospects
  • High volume of customer inquiries during and post-installation.
  • Pressure on sales agents to manage both sales and support.

Solution

ClearSource implemented an end-to-end, high-touch support model:

  • Industry Experts: A former solar designer was brought in to lead renewable energy support.
  • Comprehensive Training: Created a Solar University with specialized training for engineers.
  • Tiered Support Teams: Added specialized teams across three tiers:
    • Tier 2: Permit Designs, Civil Engineering, Sales Support.
    • Tier 3: Business Analysis, Diagnostics, Case Management.

Operational Model

ClearSource operates as an outsourced, in-house team, supporting each step:

  • Design and Quote Support: Engineers work alongside field sales to streamline quotes and contract reviews.
  • Permitting and Project Management: This position oversees permits, manages installations, and troubleshoots remotely, providing full-cycle customer and technical support.

Results

  • Quality and Efficiency Gains:
    • Sales Support Quality increased from 81% to 92%.
    • Average Handling Time improved by 23%.
    • Contract Review Quality achieved 99% (vs. 95% goal).
