FINANCING & PRODUCT UPDATES
ESP Process Announcements
- New Base Panel: QCell 400W's! - Effective immediately, we're switching up our base panel included at no cost to the black-on-black QCell 400W model. QCell is a long-standing quality manufacturer and we'll soon have access to their 100% American-Made panels so we're getting them into the process now! Aptos 440W will still be available for a small premium.
- PayKeeper Logins & Access! - You have received login invitations to PayKeeper for all Cash deals! This secure escrow app is the best solution on the market to streamline milestone payments and keep cash customers in control and happy with their projects. If you need access assistance, please reach out to Jeremy@Paykeeper.com or (801) 406-6271.
- Battery Cost Reduction - We dropped prices across the board on all Battery offerings, as well as added a few new ones! Check out the Battery Adders in Quickbase for the latest!
- Need Solar Leads? - Check out our new Lead Providers directory! We've personally chatted with the point of contact at these companies and feel good about their offers - ultimately, it's up to you which will work for your organization and your closing skills, and we'd love to hear about your experience by leaving a review on that same page!
- Commissions Inquiries - Commissions questions should now be directed through your manager to be filed via a Commissions Inquiry Request on the Job! Managers/admins, ask your Account Exec if you have questions about the new process. You'll receive a bounceback reply on anything sent to the Commissions@ going forward because that email address has been retired.
