Hire a customer service agent for energy & solar

A dedicated PCS team member, trained on your stack, in your hours, with sector context for energy & solar.

Energy and solar customers don't call when things are easy. They call during peak demand, after a fault, when a bill surprises them, or when a switch is going wrong. PCS already runs customer care teams for energy and solar clients across NZ and AU, including Genesis Energy and solarZero. The Suva team understands the rhythm of utility-grade service: handling save-team escalations during retention windows, triaging connection issues, and keeping CSAT high under volume.
