How do you segment customers for a home solar panel study?

Working on a project for a residential solar brand and not sure whether to segment by income, energy usage, or something else. What's worked for you?

For solar specifically, I'd lead with homeownership status and roof type first (renters are basically a dead end), then layer in household income and monthly energy bill — those two together predict purchase intent way better than income alone. Environmentally-motivated vs. cost-motivated is also a killer attitudinal split that changes your messaging strategy completely. We ran a segmentation like this for a solar client last year using a combination of k-means clustering and a short attitudinal battery — happy to share the survey structure if it helps.
