How do you segment customers for residential solar panels?

Working on a project for a solar installer and not sure how to slice the customer base. Is it mostly demographics or does psychographics matter more here?

Both matter, but for residential solar I'd weight psychographics pretty heavily — homeowners who are 'eco-conscious early adopters' convert way differently than 'cost-driven pragmatists,' even if they look identical on demographics. A solid starting point is combining homeownership + income + roof type (from GIS/property data) with attitudinal segments around environmental values and financial mindset. Tools like ESRI Tapestry or even a simple cluster analysis on a survey can get you there fast.
