Full Description
Each of my team members have decades of experience in transforming the market of PV technologies. From our vast experience and industry research we believe our Solar Ladder solution will successfully address barriers to broad market depolyment. We see the following issues as the MOST signicant barriers in the deployment of high quality, affordable, financable PV Systems to the residental and small commercial sectors: 1) Financability; ease and expanded consumer qualification for financing PV systems 2) Affordability; reduction in total cost for smaller systems 3) Ease of Purchase and Installation; for vendors and consumers Here's how our Solar Ladder solution addresses each of these issues and substantially breaks down these barriers: Financing: Our systems allow for broad financing opportunities since the system can be cost-effectively repossessed; requiring only a few hours labor. The potential risk of non-payment is minimized to the level of an auto loan. Affordability: The Solar Ladder PV systems will have complete system engineering and integration in a manufactured setting, as well as reduced component costs from volume purchasing and minimal labor costs. Ease of Purchase/Installation: The Solar Ladder affords the consumer the opportunity to order, finance and schedule an installation with the same ease as ordering an appliance from Home Depot; installed in hours.
