How do you track consumer sentiment shifts in the solar energy space?

Trying to understand how homeowners feel about rooftop solar vs. community solar options. Not sure if surveys are enough or if I need something more qualitative.

Honestly, surveys alone won't cut it here — solar decisions are pretty emotionally loaded, so I'd pair a quant survey (something like a 200-respondent tracker every quarter) with focus groups or even just 8-10 in-depth interviews. Social listening tools like Brandwatch or even just Reddit/r/solar can also surface organic sentiment shifts you'd never catch in a structured survey. The rooftop vs. community split tends to hinge a lot on trust and perceived control, which qualitative work surfaces way better.
