In the solar design meeting, I would educate the client on where the power is generated from in the state of Vermont, why the utility rates are increasing, how a solar system works, and why going solar would save the client money on their utility bills.

Once the results of the home inspection are made available, I will notify the client and meet with them to go over the finalized proposal.

Once interconnection has been approved by the utility company the solar installation would be scheduled.
