Hi Steve,

hi, how's it going, Steve? Uh, my name is Brian. Uh, I was reaching out. I believe you had just gotten off the phone with a team member of mine. It was about the new energy program. How's

your day going?

Pretty OK, awesome, man. I, I was just reaching out I know when they had spoken with you, they advised you about the rate increases that were going on this year and

you would have mentioned you guys are paying above 100 on your power. Uh, was

Oh, you guys see

under 100,

got you.

A. OK, got you.

needing to come out of pocket anymore to get that solar installed. right

but the key thing was really just to see if you guys can qualify. you know, does that

make sense, Steve?

as you can get approved.

Gotcha. And my job, it was really simple. It's really just to verify those few little details. It's just to see if you could be a good fit because not all homeowners are, but if you are, then that's when we could just find a better time and date to actually go over all the details with you, you know, does that sound good?

OK, awesome, Steve. I just wanted to confirm you were the the homeowner here on the 19432 Salmon Lane,

correct? You,

OK, awesome. And was there anyone else on the title there with you, like maybe a spouse or a family member? There was? OK. And would that happen to be your spouse?

OK. Gotcha. Perfect. And and as far as your property here Steve, do you know there's any like trees on it that created shading over the roof.

A no trees. OK, perfect. And as far as your condition of your roof, have you received any like leaks on it or any damages?

damage?

OK. Gotcha. So you haven't experienced anything like that? Got

it perfect.

Perfect. Love to hear that. OK, awesome, Steven. This is the program, it is government endorsed. The main qualification is just to have a standing credit score above 670. You feel like you

meet

man

Awesome, Awesome. I, I know it's a silly question, but there's no existing solar in the property there, correct?

No, OK. Well, Steve it definitely does seem like you guys could be a good fit. The next step was really just finding that better time and date to have the consultant sit down with you guys. That way he can just go ahead, break down the program for you, answer any questions you guys have and then see if you guys can get approved,

right when

huh?

Yeah. Yeah, that's a great

question, Steve. I mean, there are programs out there we can connect you with where you still don't have to come out of pocket and if you want ownership for it, right? That shows what the consultants. Therefore, that way he can go ahead and explain the different programs for you.

Mhm, got you. And I know you mentioned uh as far as your availability was that better like more in the mornings or afternoons?

More in the afternoons, OK. And when you say afternoons, is that more like after 3, maybe after 4?

After 4, OK. Gotcha. Because I'm looking here we do have availability on Wednesday at 5 p.m. It's a 5 p.m. work for both you and your wife?

That's mhm

The following, I'm looking here it's because I don't, I'm not too sure if our consultants are out there in the area for next week. Do you happen to have some availability maybe like on Thursday or Friday?

You do have Friday? OK.

And was that 5 p.m. a good time for both you and your wife?

00, a little early, OK? So

what, let me check here. I'm looking here, we do have a 3 o'clock. Is the 3 o'clock good?

3:34. I, I, yeah, I do see a 4 o'clock.

awesome, Steve. Well, I'll put you guys down for this Friday at 4 p.m. Uh, just one last

thing, do you guys get your utility bill in the mail or was that received online?

In the mail, OK, cause I'm just gonna send you a little text right now just letting you know it's set for that Friday. If what you can do whenever you have the chance, if you could just take a picture of page 3 of the power bill. Uh, we just need the bar graph because

that's what we use to determine your annual usage and create that savings

work.

awesome, man. Well, I, I always just like to confirm because we work as a first come, first served. Since you're taking

that time, another homeowner can't take advantage of it. I just want to make sure it's the best time for you guys.

OK, awesome then Steve, I'll send you that text right now if you could just give me a like a like or a thumbs up on it just to let me know you received it in the meantime, that would be great.

OK, awesome, Steve. Well, it was a pleasure speaking and we look forward to seeing you this Friday.

Alrighty bye bye

Hey, Robert

Hey,

how's it going, Robert? Uh, my name's Andrew. Uh, I believe you just got off the phone with someone on my team, uh, just a few minutes ago about the new energy program. How are you doing

today?

I'm sorry

I

think that would,

that, that's

probably her phone number, but um my name is I'm actually the verification manager here. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm in charge of basically seeing if you can actually qualify for the program, but she explained to you at all how the program works just yet or

OK, well, just uh kind of break things down for you. What it, what it is is that um right now, there's a government endorsed program that allows you to actually switch over to uh solar uh without having to pay anything out of pocket for it,

it

you, you

said you already went through this?

Oh, you could, uh, did they tell you you didn't qualify for this? And, and what was the reason why? Was it because of roofing, cause of credits?

Oh OK, yeah, cause they do require a 660 minimum FICO score where they're not able to, to approve you based off of that?

OK, so then, I mean, you would qualify there. Did they mention anything as far as um like the roof condition? Have you had any leaks or any damages?

Oh, OK. So you weren't able to get enough panels, was it because they weren't able to cover all of your energy or you just wanted more panels?

Oh, you wouldn't be able to generate enough to cover everything. Is that

what they said?

Oh, OK, I got you. You wanted extra so that you can obviously charge Penelec and they purchased the power from you.

Got it. And when they, when you sat down with a consultant, were they not able to get you more than what you wanted, because that's usually not an issue.

really

That, well, that doesn't make sense. Who, who, what, uh, what company did you meet with? Cause that,

that, that typically isn't an issue.

Well, yeah, and I, I totally understand. And obviously, if I, if we were to send someone out, I'd want it to be worth your time. What I and that's why I guess I'm asking these questions cause when it comes to like getting more electricity, that's typically never an issue. The only issue that you run into that a lot of times is only if you can't fit like more panels on your house. Um I guess that's my question. Did they tell you that you didn't have enough space to put more so that you can cover uh

cover more.

OK Yeah. Interesting

And they just said no. Wow.

Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, look, what I can tell you is this, is that typically the way it works, and again, maybe it's wherever you sat down with, but the way that it typically works is that obviously most homeowners, when you pay Penelle, right? for energy. But when you

get solar, the whole idea is so that you can obviously eliminate the bill that you have with Penalle, and then swap it for a, for a solar payment which is typically cheaper because the rate that you pay for electricity is just less. Um

doesn't

make sense

Hm, yeah, that, that attention, how long ago was it ago was this uh consultation, you don't mind me asking?

so yeah, I'm, I.

I don't think.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, that, that's,

that's how

at least that's how I'm aware of how it works and how we helped homeowners. So it might have been a different program or maybe you sign up with the person that didn't really know what he was talking about. um, but that is how it works. So if you are, if that is what you've been looking for, I think this is probably gonna be something that would work for you. Um, now, I guess, uh, and that was the reason for my call, right? It's just, uh, what I do is I just verify if you're a good fit because that's, and secondly, I just have an energy consultant stop by and literally break it down for you and show you how they're able to, to do all this for you. Um

Well, I'm looking at it for you right now. So that's basically what I do. So the main thing is, is that you clearly have a space to to fit panels there, right? I mean, you have

in front of your home, you have 2, you have 3 big faces to, to place panels on your home, which, again, from what I, from what I'm seeing here, you, you shouldn't have an issue with putting enough panels on your, on, on your roof to cover the energy that you have. The big thing is

obviously how much energy you want more. That's something that the energy consultant can, can obviously break

down with you, right?

You, you said that you wanted to power the garage as well? Is that right?

Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, the, the, the way that the power works is obviously your, your garage is also connect connected to your main electrical panel. So it would power that as well. Anything that's connected to your main electrical panel. will, will be covered

so again, and that's that's what you'd wanna kind of show the consultant because you're gonna wanna show them how much energy you're you're using with the bill. And obviously just let them know, obviously, this is gonna be covering my garage, my home, and then I wanna do extra because I wanna be able to sell back to Duane light. That is uh that's not an issue. So, I mean, uh uh I'm just curious like if, if you had some time, it's usually about a 30-minute consultation. You've been through it, I'm sure, but obviously,

I think it was about a year ago, right? So things have changed since then? Um, would you have, uh, like preferably like our mornings or afternoons usually better for you?

OK. Let me just check the schedule here. Um, I, I do have some consultants, Lily and Johnstown, um, this week. Um,

you

said

in

OK. So, let me see if I have something for next week. Um, would Monday, this next week quick? I'll, I'll check in with the team right now, but, um, would Monday this next week work?

OK, and what, what time would work best?

OK, so let me, uh, would you prefer 4 or 5 p.m.?

Just to be safe.

I'll put it down for 5. That way, at least we know that there's a, you little gap uh if you have work or whatnot. Um, what I'll do is I'll go ahead and I'll, I'll set you up for Tuesday. Um, I'll just talk to the team just to make sure that we can get at least one consultant now to you. Um, I'll send you over a confirmation text right now, um, and then if you can just, uh, one thing, and I'm sure, again, like you've, you've been through it, it's either some of the utility bill. just the bar graph

or, uh, or you can have it ready for the consul consultation.

in

person.

Yeah, either one is fine

you

Yeah, not a problem. Again, uh, if you, so long as you have it for the meeting, they won't need that. That's all, that's all I'm trying to emphasize.

All right, Robert, so I'll, I'll go ahead and set you up for next Tuesday, and this is gonna be for 5 p.m. If you could just

do

me a favor

uh, go ahead.

No, so you'd just be paying the, the, the, the solar company's uh payment. It's a solar payment, right? And the whole idea is to eliminate the bill you have right now with. and then you swap it for that cheaper solar bill. Now, obviously, if you're gonna be selling anything back to Duquee, and that's obviously that that's extra, right? That's the extra energy that you're that you're looking for The extra panel

That, that's what's called net metering, right? So basically once you actually get the system on and activated, Duane Lite then activates what's called net metering, and that basically allows you to sell back energy back to them. And then, the again, the energy consultant will break that down for you. And again, that's, I think this is why I, I, I, I, I'm pretty sure the other consultations that you had, they didn't know what they were talking about because um that is basically what's called net metering. Anything that you want to sell back to them, you definitely can. That's part of their program with the, with the the solar. Um, once you activate that, then you actually have, are able to sell excess energy to Duane light. They'll purchase it from you.

Uh, there's different sizes. Again, that's something, again, that's more of a uh a consultant that uh question, um, but there's different size. There's a 380s, 440s, 400s. You, you, you can choose from whichever you prefer.

All right, Robert.

I'll schedule you in and then I'll send you a reminder text, um, uh, probably the day before or the morning of just, just to remind you, um, but hopefully this time around they can help you out with what you, what you're looking for. I'm pretty confident they will, based on what you've told me.

All right, Robert, great talking to you. Have a good day, OK?

Take

care.

Bye-bye

Hi, William?

Hey, how's it going, William? My name is Andrew. I'm actually just reaching out to you because I believe you spoke to someone here on my team about the uh the new energy program, um this is like a few hours ago. How are you doing today?

Good, good. Um, well, the reason I'm reaching out to you is just, um, just to give a little, give you a little bit more information um about how this program works Uh, did you happen to see that notice that it came in from the utility company, um, that they mentioned it was about a 15% rate increase on the power bill.

OK. Well, the reason I'm saying is um I'm just curious, uh, if you're paying over at least $60 a month for electricity.

OK, great. Um, and then, would you say that's gonna be on the, on the higher end for you or do you see much higher bills than that?

That's about average, OK. Well, the reason I'm, I'm reaching out to you is that with these new programs, uh what we're basically doing doing is helping homeowners get away from those uh big rate increases, uh, with this new government endorsed a solar program. Um, the way that it works is that if you and the home qualify, it helps you get the solar system installed on your home. You don't pay anything out of pocket to get it installed. And what we do is we stop your current elicit bill for a cheaper and fixed solar bill. Does that make sense so far

Perfect. Well, my job is, is really just to see if you'd be a good fit for it, William. Um, is it OK if I ask you a couple of questions to see if you, you might be a good fit?

Perfect. Now, are you the uh only person on title for the property. They're on 910 Hopper Avenue.

Perfect. Um, do you happen to know if you have any large trees or any big buildings that would be blocking the sunlight from your home?

OK. From, I'm looking at the overview. It still looks like you get a decent amount of sunlight, like it's not surrounded. Um, so I think you should be OK. Um yeah, I'm seeing here. You should be, you should be good there. Um, now, how about the condition of the roof? Have you had any leaks or any damages? Do you know the age of it?

None? OK,

perfect. And now, the next question is, since this is a government endorsed uh program. They do just want to make sure that you do make your payments on time. Do you know if you have, um, at least a 660 FICO score or higher.

existing solar system, right?

OK, perfect. So it's

a silly question, but they, they have me ask here. Um, but, um, William, so everything sound looks great. It looks like you'd be a good fit for the program. My job is basically just to set you up with a local energy consultant for a 30-minute in-home assessment to see if we can help you get approved for the program. Um, are mornings or afternoons usually better for you? Afternoons, OK.

Would you prefer maybe something around like a 4 p.m., 30 p.m. Um, I have some availability for tomorrow. around 3 or 4

OK. So here,

let me,

I'll,

I'll put it down for 3 p.m. Um, and then if you could just do me a favor, William, um, if, uh, what we'll just need from you is a copy of your electric bill. Um, you can the only thing we'll need from you is a copy

of

your electric bill. Um, cause that's gonna let us know how many panels you would

need and how much energy you use, right? Um, you can, so long as if you, if you could just make sure that you

have it tomorrow for the meeting, um, just a copy of the utility bill so they can obviously help you out with that, OK?

Perfect. And then just right before I let you go, William, um, just because the way that the program works, it's first come, first served. um, if you don't make it to the appointment, unfortunately, another homeowner won't be able to take advantage of it. So I just wanna confirm obviously tomorrow around 3 p.m. would be the best time for you.

I appreciate

William. OK.

Sounds

good.

I'll send over a confirmation text right now and they will be there tomorrow at 3. All right, William, take care. It's good talking to you,

Hey John

How's it going, John? Mike I'm calling because you spoke to a team member of mine yesterday. It was in regards to the new energy program. How's your day going?

So no one asked you if you're paying $70 or so on the power bill.

so we're not trying to scam you into anything like I mentioned, you, you advised that we didn't, obviously, we did, and you know we did. Um, but OK, no worries. I mean, we're just helping homeowners lower their power bill with this government endorsed program. Keyword government endorse, so it's not a scam. Um, for you to lower it by up to 40%. As long as you can qualify. Does that make sense?

OK. I mean, it, does it go up in the summer at all or in the winter?

Yeah, that's the great thing, right? You're not paying for that.

It's a government endorsed solar program that you're not paying for solar panels. You're paying for cheaper electricity.

Yup So right, it's a, it's a 25 year agreement that's in place to protect you from inflation. That way you don't have to worry about your bill going up and you can avoid the rate increases and instead of it going up to that 85 that you mentioned, you could be locked in around that $70 throughout that term and you don't have to worry about it going up on you anymore.

So if you qualify, you do get solar panels installed. However, you're not paying for that.

They would be going on the roof of the property.

Yeah, no worries. I mean, I'm sure, right, you've seen other people that have solar and their house hasn't caught on fire. That's kind of like a hypothetical

situation.

But we're not gonna risk you for that to happen to put solar panels on your roof.

Yes, so with this program, the great thing about it is that you're not rely, yeah, you're not liable for the actual solar panels. So God forbid anything was to happen, you're covered for it. So even if you already have an insurance right with your, for your property, um, with this program, it comes with a different insurance attached to it that way, right, if anything was to happen, you're covered for that.

Correct. The reason that is is because it's government endorsed, so you're just paying for cheaper power as long as you can qualify. That's ultimately why we were reaching out.

well, the thing is, my job is just to ask you a couple questions just to see if you're a good

fit

for it, OK?

So for example, would you say you're the homeowner on title here on Shirley

Avenue. Awesome. Uh, now, the main qualification is that these programs are government endorsed, so you need to have a standing credit score of above 660. Do you feel like you'd meet that?

Sorry to hear that.

great. Awesome.

So then that shouldn't be necessarily an issue, right? Now, the last

thing I would just really ask you is as far as like the sunlight exposure on the property, would you say you get exposed to a lot of sunlight on it?

No worries. I mean, if you get exposed to the, the, a great amount of sunlight, then that's not an issue. The main thing that I would like to ask you to set the expectation proper, is if there's any like damages you're aware of, of the, on the roof.

Double check because the thing is, right, for me to set the expectation proper for you. Um, I need to make sure that at least the roof on the property at least itself, it, it has, uh, there's like leaks or damages on it. That's the main concern. cause that's like the main qualification

as far as like

so you

would say that it's not old or anything like

Typically

roots, right, they last around 30 years. So if it's at the 10 year mark, that shouldn't necessarily be an issue. The only reason I emphasize the importance on it because in terms of qualifying it, it, that does really matter. Um, that way we don't waste any of your time. But if it's around 10 years old, then that shouldn't necessarily be an issue. And if the

go

ahead.

I

the great thing

about this program is like I was mentioning is we don't come near a roof that isn't structurally strong enough to sustain the system. We're liable for that. So that's why you're completely covered with it. Now, God forbid anything was to happen, you are granted with a roof penetration warranty that you would not have to pay anything for cause that, that's keep in mind

not.

You're not paying

anything out of pocket. The way that it works is you're just paying for a cheaper power bill. So instead of you paying your current utility provider, your bill gets eliminated and pay a cheaper bill. But let me ask you, I, I didn't, I didn't.

So, now,

now

I'm glad you mentioned that. Let's say thatly speaking in the next 6 months or a year or so randomly you decide to get an electric vehicle, you would advise our energy consultant information that way we can use what's called a consumption calculator that helps us punch in the numbers for that electric usage when you get that car, that way we get you the proper system that you need and it helps you avoid these rate increases and help you lower that bill. That way you get a very accurate bill. Does that make sense?

so it's not

necessarily

if it has to, it's more if uh if it's necessary to, right? If it's something that you prefer, that is something that's included, but that's something that we can break down for you in detail. Uh no,

that's

included.

So that you, you wouldn't come out of pocket for that.

as far as

goes,

I'm not too sure because uh uh there's different batteries that are available. Um, essentially

I

mean,

I'm gonna be honest with you, as far as that part goes, that would be a question for my energy consultant because he's actually the expert on where these things go and things like that. My job is really just to make sure that you're a good fit for it. Based

on the information right now, so far it looks like you could be. The next step for us is really just finding a different day that you have about 30 minutes of spare time. We can show you what that would look like. Basically, they pop by for around 30 minutes to sit down with you, and then they'll show you a free savings report and if there's any questions you have, feel free to fire away. We make sure to answer them for you. Typically, it

only takes about 30 minutes of your time. I mean, let's say hypothetically speaking, there's a different day that you have about 30 minutes even if it's on a weekend. Sure.

Oh, no,

We

want, we

wanna make sure

I'll tell you this.

The

thing is,

as all

of this may

sound, not everyone can qualify for it. Based on the qualifications that actually, it seems like you're a good fit for it at we're reaching out, uh, we're hoping homeowners simply just with free consultations that way you can at least see what you can take advantage of that these programs are available. Keep in mind you're not coming out of pocket for it. It's literally designed to do exactly what you're doing right now with your current utility provider. Um, as far as the utility property though, are you with uh Penallik or is it Duquee? OK. Great. So, again, John, it's the exact same thing

you're doing with Penalli.

only

difference

is that you're not paying them a higher cost, you swap out your bill for a much cheaper one. But I know you mentioned, right, obviously, you don't want to screw anyone over. We don't want to screw you over either. We wanna make sure that you got

So this

program isn't

designed

for

you to pay

more, it's for you

to

pay

less.

So that's why I wanted to set the expectation proper. I know you mentioned that. Sure.

well, the

good thing

is,

I mean, uh obviously

more on the

conservative

side,

but let's say hypothetically speaking,

you

were interested in getting yourself an electric vehicle. That could change drastically. So that's why uh uh, what

Well, let me ask you this.

Do you

run

your AC

at

all on the

power

on

the property?

Uh-huh

Well, the

thing you can also benefit

from that

we can

break

down to you

is we

can

provide you with

more electricity than you use. That way you can run everything more comfortably and you don't have to be observative. So that actually led me bar up.

So yeah,

there, there,

there

is

selling

it back to the grid and

formal credit.

So that is

something that

we

can break down

to you. Uh, again, like I mentioned, right, for me to set the expectation proper and not give you the wrong information, that would be the energy consultant's job. So that yeah. Yeah, I mean, on a different day, man, let's say there's 30

minutes

you

have

for

spare time.

Is

usually

morning

times or

if,

what I

can double

deck

that we have been able to do same day visits.

So essentially

what

it

is,

it's a 30-minute

in-home

consultation.

The only thing we need is the bill. If you have the bill, we can show you a free savings really quick and then answer any other questions that you have. So if, if I mean, nonetheless, you need to pull one up online.

That's something

we can do as

because

we have

helped

homeowners

the same situation.

Yeah, yeah, no worries. We've helped, believe

it

or not,

we've

that are paying

$65 right? We've

helped homeowners that are paying

$60.

So the

benefit

is, is you can control and have that predictability. That way you don't have to worry about it going up at all, like right throughout the whole summer, things like that, um, or even in the winter, but. Sure

Well, you

see, that's the thing,

If there's, there's

different appliances that

are

helping

you

run

it up. We can help you with more

electricity.

way, obviously,

if

you're

running these

things

more, now you won't have to worry about your bill being affected at all because now it's.

like a swamp

cooler

Well, yeah,

I mean, it, it

obviously.

Right, with, with, with all these things that you

may be willing to

add

or

looking

into,

that's

where we

can help you break down for that way we can

help

you obviously

cut down on it. Um, I know you didn't mention that uh if there was a spare 30 minutes of time, I don't know if you would have some availability maybe even this evening, like around 67. Uh-huh Yeah,

to

give you peace of mind.

actually,

the one

thing is we do have

Sunday off

another

time

we

do have a Saturday. If you

have any

spare

30

minutes,

work

as

early as

800 a.m. all the way to

5 p.m. for Saturday, if that even works for you. Maybe like at an 8 o'clock. Cause roughly it only takes about 30 minutes, right? 45 minutes if on

the longer end.

OK. Yeah, I mean, if Saturday works for you, anytime we can definitely.

Why,

why don't

we play it safe and let's just put Saturday at 11. Um, what I'll go ahead and do for you right

is, uh, all I'm

gonna

do

is send you

a text

message

from this

number. This is your direct line, correct? OK. I'll send you a text message with those numbers letting you know it's

up for Saturday at 11. Um, the only thing we need present is the power bill. As long as you have that, we can conduct that savings report

and then you can expect that probably within the next 5 minutes or so after this call that way we can help the and everything set up. So if, if you have a paper copy of it of the bar graph

portion

of it, you could send

a screenshot

over.

If not, as long

as you

have

it present

there,

that won't be

an

issue.

I I John,

if you, if you don't have a paper copy of it present there, that's not an issue, man. Uh if you can have

it

present even on Saturday, you know, no rush. It's just really important to have. So as long as you have it there, that's not a problem. Mhm.

Yeah, no worries. Look,

worst comes

to worst,

we can have the

consultant

try and

pull it up online for you. That's not a problem.

All right.

So I'll go

ahead and

put you then

down for Saturday

at 11,

um, within the text that I send you, if you can do me the favor of giving me a like or a thumbs up on the text, that way you know you

received it, that'll be great. Uh-huh

I, I was, I was gonna send the text right after this call. You can expect it within the next 5 minutes or so. Awesome. All right. Sounds good, John. Uh, my name is Adam. I'm the verifications manager. It was great speaking with you. Yes, sir.

Hi Mike

Hi, Mike. My name is Christian. Uh, we're reaching out to you because your utility provider sent out a notice. It was about the changes for this year. Did you happen to see it come in?

Christian Local Energy Partners.

No, my name is Christian and we're reaching out with Local Energy Partners.

Well, yeah, Mike, I mean, I, I'll get straight to it. The reason we're reaching out is because if you're paying above $120 a month for your power bill, we might be able to help lower that by about 40%.

Uh, the way, the way we do that is by seeing if you qualify for this program that allows you to get solar installed at no cost to you.

Uh, well, you'd have to be the, uh, you'd have to be the owner on the title. Um,

you would

have to not have enough, not have any trees blocking the sun exposure. You got any trees on your property that blocked the sun on the roof.

you.

OK. I mean, uh, if you were a um if you were to like uh get approved, uh, and say you needed to get that tree trimmed down a little bit. Um, if we were to provide that service and no charge for at no charge to you. Would that be OK with you?

If, if, if need be, I'm not saying it needs to happen. I'm just, you know, saying if it needed to happen. OK, awesome. Uh, Mike, are you, uh, what about the condition of your roof? Would you say it's in good condition? Are there any leaks or damages?

Beautiful. OK, glad to hear that. Um,

and then I'll, uh, let's see here. You have, uh, your credit score is at above 670?

Beautiful

but I mean, if you're, I mean, just being late on one payment isn't really gonna affect it unless you were like like right

on

the verge.

Does it?

Gotcha. That's interesting. Um,

well, Mike, the real, the main reason we ask that Mike is for us, uh, we just need to make sure that there are no like uh bankruptcies or any foreclosures, um, in your history,

because that's really like, that's really what it's kind of like a deal breaker for us. We just want to know that you can make your payments on time. Um, but if you, I mean, if you're, if you made that late payment like you're saying before that, if I mean if your credit s co re was above 700, I don't think it would be an issue, but I mean you would know

better than me, um, but

I think if you, if you don't have any foreclosures or anything like that and you just have that one lane payment. I think you would still be good, but I don't know. What do you think?

Right, right.

Oh, OK. Yeah,

Mike. I mean, I, I think

you should be good, honestly,

OK, Mike, and then, uh, last I, uh, last thing I just have to ask you, you don't already have solar on your house, right?

OK. OK, awesome. Um, Mike,

I,

I.

Uh, my, I didn't, I, I didn't, uh, I'm not sure if you answered it or not, but how much uh do you currently pay for your power cause it's important that you use enough power.

but you're saying

129,

Yeah, yeah,

I

hear you,

Mike.

Ouch. OK.

Yeah, Mike, I hear you. I mean, from what you're telling me, uh, it definitely sounds like you could see savings through our program. Um, you see to me, uh, most of the requirements. I mean, we talked a little bit about your credit right now, but from what you're telling me, I think you should still be good. Um,

now it's, now it's just about uh setting you up with one of our consultants for a 30-minute conversation basically. They'll explain to you exactly how the program works. It will show you exactly how much you would save. And if it all makes sense to you, that would help, they'll try and help to see if you get approved. Does that all make sense to you, Mike?

Oh, it doesn't have to be right now. I mean, uh, but like, uh, uh, a weekday or a weekend work better for you?

Well, we have a few different offices in Southern California, but we service all of Southern California.

that's

a

that's in the San Fernando Valley. That's just my,

uh, my direct office line.

But yeah,

Mike, I mean, these, these consultations normally take about 30 minutes on the faster end, uh, maybe like 45 minutes on the longer end, just depending on how many questions you have. I mean, obviously we wanna take care of you. We want to show you uh exactly how it works and show you exactly how much you could save, right? Right now we're just having this conversation, um, but yeah, that's what the consultation is for. It's just to show you, uh, what the

program is, show you that it's real, you know what I mean? And then

Kyle

no. So that, no, that's not how that works. Sorry. Uh,

the, the way it works

is that,

yeah, yeah, absolutely. Uh, the way it works is that, uh, first, obviously, you'd have to get approved and then if you, if you're able to get approved, then we come out, we install the panels. We're also gonna install batteries. This is all at no cost to you. All the power that gets like the extra power that gets generated gets stored in your power bank.

And then that would, and then you're able to draw from there whenever you need to

OK, OK, good.

be

Yeah, so I mean, like it's, it's again, like you were saying, you take the average right of what you pay. So that's basically what our consultant does is they're gonna look at your average uh annual usage for the entire year. And then

basically they're gonna design a solar system that fits the needs for you and your home. And then, I

mean, just a quick example, like people that pay 200, we've been able to get them down about that 120 range. Uh, people that pay like $300 a month. They've been able to get

down to like between 150 and 200. Um, so the more you pay, the more you save, but I, I can't really give you a definite answer because again, it it varies from

person to person, and that's what the consultant, he will show you exactly how much you would save.

I hear you, Mike.

I mean, uh,

No, yeah, I hear you, Mike, and that's a, that's a, that's a

really good uh concern that you're bringing up. I mean, I, you know, ideally, uh, the program that

we're

so a lot of people

yeah, exactly.

So that's kind of the how, what

we're providing.

Got

you.

towels on

Yeah, Mike, I mean,

absolutely, Mike. The only thing I would say about that is that uh once you, like if you own the panels, uh, yes, everything you're saying, obviously, you know, you, uh, I mean, if you have, you know, a few $10,000 around to pay for the system, then by all means, uh, with that, uh, with that, it's gonna be that, you know, you're not gonna see your return on investment till like, I don't know, how many years down the line. And then also,

you're gonna have to worry about all the maintenance. If something goes wrong, you're gonna

have to, you

know

All right, Mike, take

care

Hey, hello, is this uh

Hey, Timothy, my name's Josh. Uh, I was giving you a call, I believe you spoke with someone on my team this past Thursday. It was just regarding helping you lower your current energy bill. Do you recall that?

Yeah, so the reason why we're calling is because you may qualify for a government endorsed program. All it does is reduce your electricity bill by 40%. So that's why I was just reaching out just to see if you're a good fit then.

how much is the price per kilowatt you're talking about?

Of course. So it ranges depending on the size of the system you get, but it's anywhere I believe from

16 cents to 20 cents, and it's fixed, meaning that once you get locked in at that

rate,

yes, but it depends on the size of the system so you can get locked in at 15 cents. You can get locked in at 1617. It really just depends. So that's why we do have a consultant go out to you to break everything down, answer any questions, and show you exactly how much you can save.

10

cents.

Oh wow.

Uh, who's your energy company, if you don't mind me asking?

Is,

is your

energy, is your energy company Duquene Lite or is it Penallec? Hello, Tim Hello, Tim. Can you hear me?

Oh, OK, there you go. Are, are you

a Duquee Light or are you with Penalli for your energy company?

Duking Light, OK, that's very strange cause I know their rates did go up this year and it went up as high as 12%. So I don't believe you guys are at

a 10% price per kilowatt anymore. I think it went up.

Uh-huh.

Yes, so that, that

means that's the price per kilowatt that the energy is coming in. I believe Duquene lights around a 19. Yeah, I don't think

they're at a 10 because they, they just

had a 12% rate increase this year, but let me double check that for you. Give me one second.

Mm, OK

So they're

the

ones that

transmit the energy to you.

Yeah, so 10 cents. OK. Gotcha. So Duking like, and, and then, OK, so who do you pay your bills? Is it Duquene Lite or is it a different company?

OK. Just because I, I'm reading here, this is off of Duquene Light Company's website. The price to compare their averaging out right now with the rate increases around 20 cents price per kilowatt. So that's where I'm just a little confused because if you, if the distributor, which is the people that of course distribute the power to you Duquene Light Company. They're the ones that are in charge of the price per kilowatt as well, so that's just very strange because it, it started in effect from actually June 1st all the way through November, so last month, uh, they're including distribut distribute that, I can't talk right now. Distribution and other service fees, which average around to around 20 cents price per kilowatt. So you're probably getting the 10 cents from them, but because of distribution fees and other service fees I probably paying for care programs and all that other stuff, it probably averages out to around 20, but for the raw energy coming from it, it's probably around that 10

to 14 cents.

Mhm Well,

let me

ask you this, how much are you currently paying for your energy and for your latest utility bill. How much did you pay?

cause your

current

prices

for like raw energies is around 14 cents, but once you tack on like the distribution fees and the other service fees that averages out to around 20, depending on, you know, where you live at. But yeah, that's usually where it's at.

So 52 cents, 0.052. Let me see.

Hmm. Yeah, OK, cause I know their rates did go up. There's no one that's paying 5 cents price per kilowatt anymore or even 10 cents. Averages right now are anywhere between the 14 cents to around 20 cents. Sometimes even more too depending on how much

energy you use, but it's, those are the rates that homeowners are now seeing because in Pennsylvania alone, it's not just Duquee Light, it's also Penalle and other companies. They've seen a spike within their energy, probably within the past 3 years, I'd want to say almost near 40 to 50%. So that's why homeow ner s are seeing their bills just go skyrocketing in the past couple of years, but I know that in regards to what you're paying price per kilowatt, it's definitely around. It should be around 14 to 20 cents now, especially starting June 1st.

Fulfins. Gotcha.

That makes more sense then. Yeah, and then started June 1st

is when they implemented the 12%

rate increase so it shot up to that 1415 cents now. Mhm. So you're

definitely paying for your energy temp. That's why I was just reaching out. I know when you spoke to my team member they advised you we're paying at at least above $60 is what they asked you. So my job was just to ask you a couple questions here to see if you're a good fit. And then if you are, we just send someone out to you to break everything down and ultimately give you that full breakdown of everything, OK?

Mhm. Well, do you experience

higher bills

in

the

summertime or in the wintertime?

Oh, OK,

got

Gotcha Gotcha. So you

probably pay a pretty penny for your energy

then.

So probably summertime when you're running

the pool pump using the AC a little bit more, probably around 250, maybe 300 around there.

let's

just say then your energy bill and your low months are probably 150 and then on your high months, let's just cut it to 250, probably averaging around 200 for your energy,

which I know we can definitely help you get lower with these programs because having a bill of $200 is still, you know, pretty high when it comes down to energy usage and as a whole. So we can help reduce that by up to 40%. So it's just a matter of seeing, you know, your property is a good fit for him and like I mentioned, nothing comes out of pocket for these programs. So there's no loan involved. There's no down payment, nothing for the installation. It's just as long as yourself and your property able to qualify, that's how we're able to help homeowners out. Does that kind of make sense so far

someone

does have

to show

up because

they

need to make sure that your property is a good fit. I mean, what I could do is just like send you information regarding the program and how it works, but it's just gonna give you some general information like on how the program works, kind of like how I'm talking to you about now. But if you wanted like the detailed numbers and comparing apples to apples like you said, that's when the consultant stops by because they can actually show you how much you're averaging right now would be paid, and then of course, show you what it would look like if you were to transfer over. So, um, if you have some time, Tim, uh, it only takes roughly around 30 minutes. They just take a look at that bill, wrapped up the savings report, and then answer any questions you may have. Um, if you have some time either early morning or afternoons, they can just stop by and break it all down for you.

At that point, man, I wish we could do all though. That's where

wow,

that's, yeah, they're killing us everywhere now. It's like everywhere you turn, they're charging you to breathe some air now. Mm.

we're lighting

someone's pocket,

but I mean, at at least with the, you know, you're able to go ahead and help at least yourself lower that bill. So that's why it's beneficial for homeowners, cause it's something you're already paying for through your taxes. So might as well see if you're able to take advantage of it, you know, so that's why we're just helping some homeowners out here, Tim, if you have some time in the morning, they are in the area this week, so, you know, if morning or

afternoon time works real love for them to stop by and see if they're able to help you.

Wednesday

morning,

let

me

see. And how early were you thinking? Cause we can go as early as 9:00 a.m. for Wednesday morning.

After afternoon

I

could

do

like uh Wednesday around, would 10:30 be good for you? 10 : 30 Perfect,

then.

Well, what, what

I'll

then, I'll just send you a text message just letting you know you're all set for Wednesday at 10:30. Uh, if you have your latest bill there, that would be great cause that, that would be the most comparable one because they could take your usage for the full year and actually show you how much you can save, but if you have a couple bills that are a little bit older, that'll be fine as well. Uh, they just need to see that bar graph to where it shows how much you use for the entire year, all right? All right, cool, Tim. Awesome.
