Even before social distancing drastically expanded remote work, remote PV system design was a smart choice. According to NREL, remote solar design software can reduce solar costs by up to $0.17/W. However, remotely designing a PV system requires a reliable 3D model to prov

A few years ago PERC solar panels were just another option in a solar installers toolbox. Today, however, PERC panels are becoming the dominant panel in the industry, and rightfully so. 

We’ve written about how PERC

PERC solar modules are growing in the market, but what is PERC cell technology and what are its advantages? To better understand PERC cell technology’s importance, let’s first review some common inefficiencies found in standard silicon solar panels. A standard solar panel cell contains two layers of silicon, commonly called “n-type” and “p-type” for their negative and positive charge b

How many times have you heard these responses?

• “I`ll get back to you at a better time.”
• “I`ll have to talk to my wife/husband/partner.”
• “We`ll have to think about it.”
• “...It`s just not a good time right now.”

“It’s just not a good time right now.” This all-too-common sales objection conjures up images of front doors slamming shut, phones clicking off

While solar softwares can help design the optimal PV system, the components you select will also make a difference in achieving the desired energy production.

One particular component type—the smart module—has been 

What Is the Duck Curve?

California’s electricity is supplied from a variety of energy sources, including natural gas, solar, hydro, geothermal, wind, and nuclear. The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) manages the operation of the state’s electricity grid, making sure that the total energy demand on any given day matches the total energy supply from the various sources. In orde

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act—also known as the CARES Act—was signed into law. This $2 trillion stimulus package is the largest emergency aid passed in U.S. history, and though there are indirect benefits for the solar industry, it’s not enough.

COVID-19’s Impact on the Solar Industry

Due to the

Making the transition from meeting your customers in-person to conducting your solar sales 100% remote for the first time can seem daunting, but it can be done. Some of the most successful and fastest growing solar companies have already adopted remote sales processes. Several advantages of remote selling include increased territories, lower customer acquisition costs, z
