The more you know about your solar product, the better you can advise your clients. You do not want angry customers coming at you because the expensive system you sold them failed in 5 months because you sold them too small/large of a battery bank.
What you HAVE to know:
Each installation's power requirements (daily KWh)
Each installation's peak power requirement
Summer/Winter insolation
Batteries to store the power
Battery boxes/container/shed
Battery cables
PV panels
PV mounting gear
Solar Charge controllers
DC rated breakers, combiners, power switches
DC wiring requirements and hydraulic cable crimping tool
Inverters and power distribution
Local electrical code so you don't burn the house down
