An Index Is Launched. We did a soft launch of the solar module index on Friday to the first 25 installers that contributed. Would it surprise you that the same module sells at a spread of 25% depending on who bought it? On average the delta was over 15% from high to low. For May, SolarWakeup is opening this up to all residential installers to participate. The hesitation of providing your information is understood, it is entirely confidential. In return you see what others are paying and arms you with the information you need to negotiate better pricing and that is the intention of everything I do at SolarWakeup. I want the installers to be armed with tools and data that make their businesses thrive. To participate in the index, to read more about it.
Lead Generation In Focus. An interesting thing happened over the past few weeks. The solar industry hit a bottom in sales decline and then bounced back up. While we are still below pre-COVID levels, there is a path back to the growth plan we had going into the year. The path is different now though but companies are adapting to the normal and restarted their lead generation investments. That is the focus of this week’s tracking survey, open now for participation.
A Safer Power Grid. On Friday, Trump issues an executive order aimed to protect the power grid from foreign adversaries. The executive order highlights the bulk-power systems in critical infrastructure and gives the Department of Energy some power to get involved. As most of your legal teams have highlighted, we don’t really know what this means for our industry but it could be big.
Big Storage. Not withstanding the potential impact of the executive order mentioned above, SCE signed a big storage deal for 770MW of 4-hour battery if the story is accurate. This is scheduled to come online in 2021 and on the end of Tesla’s earning call saying that they don’t have enough storage capacity to meet the demand growth. More to come on this including a podcast I recorded about storage manufacturing, costs and supply chain. You can hear that by searching for SolarWakeup in your podcast app, subscribing and rating.
Webinars For All. B2B marketing is reaching a new level because trade shows and in person meetings are no longer available and I don’t think that’s such a bad idea. SolarWakeup will also take our in person events digital and host at least a monthly webinar with interesting speakers on topics relevant to your business. Many of those content ideas come from the feedback I get from you when you email me or write it on the survey. The first zoom SolarWakeup Live is with Andrew Birch, c0-founder of Sungevity and co-founder of OpenSolar. We’re spending an hour taking your questions and talking about digital solar installer operations. Register here.
