Our Solutions for Residential, Commercial, Governmental and Utility-Scale Clients

Ms. Alicia Valdes, President and CEO, had conducted a long and extensive 5 year research in the solar industry prior to incorporating Bright Solar Systems.

 

Ms. Valdes conducted a specific research on the different ways each State in the U.S and each Country around the World embraced solar technologies. She then discovered the various reasons why solar customers are either eager or reluctant to buy solar Products and Services.  

 

Further, she also learned about various Government incentives taking place in different areas around the World as well as the latest and greatest in solar technology efficiency and innovation Worldwide. 

 

While in the process of the above mentioned research, Ms. Valdes found 12 main challenges that consumers are facing worldwide when becoming solar clients. Therefore, she felt the need to provide the following solutions to the above most common menitoned challenges.

  Challenge # 1:

 

  The internet use has allowed many solar clients to find the solar company they want to work with for a given solar project. But, many

  solar clients had found it difficult to find:

 

  • ​A local reputable solar company that they could hire and contribute to the local economy. 

 

  • A solar company that has a special skill for their unique solar project wants and needs

 

  • In a sea of options as well as various solar companies in the internet, is hard to know which one would be the best fit. If a given solar company is an expert in your project, they may be located far away and they might increase the overall project cost due to transportation. 

 

  • If the solar company is local, clients do not know for certain if the company has enough experience without  pursuing a     further detailed research on on the solar company.

 

  • If the local solar company is hired, but does not have enough experience, the outcome could become costly at the end.

 

 

  OUR SOLUTION :

 

  We screen the best 3 (SSTP) Selective Solar Technology Providers or Suppliers (SSTS) in your specific geographical area and ensure

  they have executed projects similar to yours.

  Challenge # 2:

 

  Once the client has found the solar company of choice on their own via internet or friend's referral, he/she may or may not know what

  type of licensing the solar company shall have for that specific area or region where the solar project installation may take place. 

 

  •  Each State in USA is required to have a special type of licensing for Solar Installers. 

 

  •  Solar Electrical Installation Licenses are different than Solar Thermal Installation Licenses for:                                                                       Residential  and  Commercial applications. Example: CVC Vs. CWC in Florida.

 

  •  Major Local, State and National Solar Projects require NABCEP Licensing. International Companies require ISO Compliance.

 

  •  Worldwide, not every Region, State or Country requires solar installation licensing. But, it will help to have a Licensed Solar        Contractor regardless.

 

  •  Having the appropriate General Liability, Commercial Package and Commercial Auto Insurance coverage is also very        important to keep in mind  when hiring a Solar Company.  

 

 

  OUR SOLUTION:

 

  Ensure an on time delivery of 2 or 3 proposals for your review as well as make sure:             

  All SSTP/SSTS are Properly Licensed  & Certified, Insured, A+ rated from the Better Business Bureau and Referred by prior Clients.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 Challenge # 3:

 

  •  Homeowner's, Business Owner's, Government Agencies and Utility Companies lack the time required to search for Licensed  quality solar contractors.

 

  •  The lack of time searching for quality, results costly when the client finds out the solar contractor hired was unlicensed.

 

​

  •  The 30 % Federal Tax Incentive and the Utility Rebate that the Solar Client was counting on obtaining is not received.

 

 

 

  All due to the fact that Utility Companies and the Federal Government only provide rebate funds and incentives to projects installed

 

  by Licensed Solar Installers and Contractors. 

 

 

 

 OUR SOLUTION:   

 

 Minimize time and risk spent searching on line for a quality solar contractor (Provider or Supplier) by hiring a Professional Expert in the    matter such as Bright Solar Systems. 

 

 

                      

  Challenge # 4:    

 

  •   Solar Clients are always looking on ways to increase savings and reduce costs of living or doing business.

  •   Some clients are aware and some clients aren't aware that in order to save money, there is a need to spend money initially. 

 

 

  OUR SOLUTION:

 

  •   Analyze client’s budget as well as financial means available to fund the project depending on the system/ product size and type.

  •   Provide Solar Energy Savings % & Cost Reduction on Initial Investment.

 

  Challenge # 5:  

 

  •   Solar Clients are unsure of how much money can be saved on their electric bill monthly.

 

  •   Some may or may not have a roof space available to obtain the desired electric bill savings goals.

 

  •   Studying the site logistics may assist find in an accurate answer to this question.

 

  •   Various types of solar products have different efficiencies, therefore, selecting one product versus another may have an impact on     the electric bill reduction goals.

 

 

  OUR SOLUTION:

  Assist in the formulation of electric savings goals per month/year in a quantity as well as in a percentage basis.

 

 

  Challenge # 6:

 

  •  When shopping around for the best rate, clients have to communicate with many solar companies in the research phase. This  process could be overwhelming and organizing meetings with the top 3 best suited solar companies could be challenging.

 

  •  Keeping in consideration the client's available time to meet as well the available time to meet of the sales and engineering personnel  of all 3 companies takes at least 1 day to 1 week to organize and schedule.  

 

  •  During the initial meetings between clients and solar companies, clients feel pressured by the sales person of the                                particular solar company to purchase a particular product or service right on the first meeting.   

 

 

  OUR SOLUTION:

 

  Schedule the initial introductory meeting  of each (SSTP) / (SSTS) in our Networks with the client creating a sales pressure free

  environment that will lead to an informed purchasing decision in the future for the client .

 

 

 

 

  Challenge # 7:

 

  •  In today's fast paced world, many lack the time to find quality in terms of product and service.

  •  The internet provides an wide range of possibilities, but having the best products and services narrowed down to 3 is difficult.   

  •  Many do not  know the subject matter well, the industry in general or the ones involved in it.

 

 

   OUR SOLUTION:

 

   Schedule 3 site evaluations for the client's property in order to provide an accurate bid bringing highly qualified Engineers, Project              Managers and Licensed Solar Installation teams.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Challenge # 8:  

 

  • Some clients hire a given solar company based on the sole fact that they offer a bid that fits their budget range and end up selecting the least expensive one. Later, the client finds out that the reason the solar company was the least expensive, was because they were unlicensed or had a poor quality solar panel product or provided a poor service after the sale.

 

  • There had been cases where clients found it difficult to get a hold of the solar contractor if something went wrong after the sale and  installation already took place.

 

  • Some solar clients simply want to follow-up on the procedures to claim their incentive and rebate and the solar                                   company is no where to be found. 

 

 

  OUR SOLUTION:

 

  • Provide the best opportunity to shop around for the best pricing without compromising quality of products and/or  services.

 

  • This is the reason why we pre-screen every single company that we refer your way. We make sure that they have a successful track record not only in sales but in service as well. In addition, we make sure that they offer you a quality product that fits your budget. 

 

  • If customer service is needed down the road, we are there to assist you as well. 

 

   Challenge # 9:

 

  • Some Companies, Government Agencies and Utility Companies have strict ROI guidelines to follow in order to authorize a Solar project to get off the ground.

 

   For example:

   Some business owners like to be pro-active and save a consulting fee by searching on the internet themselves, various companies.

   They later find out that those companies that have executed on major projects Nationwide, do not know the specific Sate incentive

   and Utility incentives that they can qualify for. This increases the pricing on their proposal, therefore, making the ROI difficult to be with

   in their goal.

 

   Further the cost of transportation for engineers or their own installation team can also increase the overall cost of the system. 

 

 

   OUR SOLUTION: 

 

    Explain and make sure all Federal, State and Utility incentives are calculated on all and each proposal to maximize (ROI) Return on

   Investment.

 

 

   Challenge # 10:     

 

  • Explaining to the customer what they are obtaining for their money does not take place in a quality manner by some Solar Companies.

 

  • Many companies are pressured for sales and production and few solar companies devote the necessary time it takes to properly answer all the customer's questions and concerns.

 

 

   OUR SOLUTION:

 

   Explain the different types of products and services offered by each (SSTP)/ (SSTS) and its benefits in Production,  Warranty,                    Manufacturing Company etc.

 

   Challenge # 11:

 

  • Some homeowner's lack the knowledge in solar technology and some business owner's may have the knowledge of basic concepts, but both need the assistance of an impartial solar expert that can  translate complex technical words into a simple to comprehend concept.

 

  • Business owner's or high ranked executives and engineers may or may not have the time to go through the details of each and every single bid provided to them. 

 

 

   OUR SOLUTION:

 

   Summarize in one page all 3 bids for easier comprehension of product type, brand, size, price, ROI, monthly and                                        annual savings as well as contact information for each SSTP/SSTS for faster retrieval.

 

 

 

 

  Challenge # 12:

 

  • When clients interact directly with solar companies, sometimes they feel pressured and do not make the best decision based their own    best interests.

 

  • In some cases clients also move forward without enough research, where they could of saved more money and obtained better products, services, incentives, rebates etc.

 

 

 

  OUR SOLUTION:

 

  •  Maintain an impartial and objective attitude for an easier and well informed purchasing decision for the client.
