Hi, hello, Majid

Hey, Majid, how are you? This is Josh. Uh, I was just giving you a call here. I, I believe you spoke with someone on my team yesterday regarding the new energy program. How are you doing today?

I'm doing really good, Majid. Thank you for asking. Uh, I was just, of course, giving you a call seeing if you got that notice in the mail about the recent rate increases. Did you happen to see that by any chance?

so, yeah, so

major.

uh-huh

Got you.

make a little

bit more

sense?

Oh, OK,

gotcha. I mean, what makes you say that, uh, if you don't mind me asking?

if

you, if you don't mind me asking, is you, how long ago was that that you spoke to someone in regards to solar.

less

than a

year ago.

and did they give you an exact reason as to why you didn't qualify?

that's

very

strange

That's very strange,

huh, OK, just because with these programs, I mean, it's not based on like income or like how much you make or anything like that. It's really just based on the property and if you have a good standing credit score. So as long as your credit score was good above 670, and everything on the property path, then, you know, you should have been eligible for the program. Um, did you speak to any other company or was it just that guy that told you you didn't qualify?

Gotcha. And then if,

if, if you had to put an amount on how much you spend for your energy, how much would that look like for you?

Wow, OK. And I'm guessing it tends to go

up more

during the higher months.

No, that, that, uh, that makes a lot of sense and I mean if you they should have gave you a reason as to why you didn't qualify the first time around, um, but that's why we are calling because homeowners with these new programs are now getting qualified for them, it's just a matter of the, of course, if your property is able to qualify at that point in regime. So quick question for you, for your property, do you have any like big trees or tall buildings that provide shade over the roof by any chance?

Plenty of

And then for your roof condition, are there any leaks or damages that you're aware of? Did they ever advise you of anything like that?

Gotcha. OK. Well, that shouldn't be an issue then. And then for the type of roof you have, do you happen to know if it's like shingles, clay-style, concrete. Do you happen to know?

Is shingles

Asphalt shingles? OK. I mean, that shouldn't be an issue either. We installed on plenty of asphalt singles. Um, now, for the property itself, is there anyone else that owns it with you, like a spouse or a family member, or is it just yourself or you?

Under

your name? OK, perfect. Not an issue at all then. And then, of course, for these programs, like I mentioned since they are government endorsed, you would just need to have a good standing credit score of at least 670 or higher, so I'm guessing you're good on that end as well, correct?

And is there any existing solar on the property?

silly question, but

so like I mentioned, these are new programs, so it does involve the installation of solar, but you don't have to pay for it. So there's no loan associated with this. There's no down payment. Nothing for the installation cost. Like I mentioned, it's just as long as your property qualifies and from what you're telling me, it definitely sounds like you could be a good fit for Mai. The next step is really simple. It's just about selecting that better time and date, so the consultant can stop by and break it all down for you and answer any questions you may have.

I don't like to use the word free, so you're still gonna have a bill. It's just gonna be much cheaper than what you're currently paying right now. So to give you an example, Majid, if you're averaging, let's just say $200 with this program, as long as you're able to get qualified for it. We're able to knock that bill down I don't want to say anywhere between 100 to $130 now. It just depends on the size of the system, but roughly, homeowners have been seeing savings around 40%.

Nothing. So you don't pay for the system you pay for is the energy that comes at a much cheaper rate. So it's, it's kind of like how you're with your energy company right now, except you're purchasing that system at a much cheaper rate. That's the only difference.

Uh-huh

No, and I can very, I can see the concern there, and that's a very valid one. The great thing with this program as well is that it comes with battery packs. So, even though that system's generating energy for you during the day. When you get these battery packs, it stores all that energy for you. So when your kids do come home and they end up using energy or even yourself, you're covered. It's not gonna ever pull from California Edison ever again. You just pull from those battery packs. And the battery pack, they're included with the solar.

Correct. And the reason for that is because the, the way these

programs work is they're backing funded by taxpayer dollars. So your taxpaying dollars, my taxpaying dollars, a portion of everyone's taxes now are being funneled into these programs. So what the government's doing is they're allowing homeowners to see if they're able to qualify as long as you're able to qualify. That's how you get the system, but unfortunately, if you don't qualify, then it would automatically disqualify you from the program. Did that make a

that's very strange

because

from,

Gotcha. Well, they're not

giving

it to you. Remember, you're still gonna have a bill, it's just the bill now is gonna be much cheaper than what you're paying. So, you're just paying for the energy. The catch here is, is that your property needs to qualify. So even though you tell me everything may be good, what happens is if you do decide to move forward, there's something that's called a site inspection that takes place where they inspect everything, just to make sure that the property's good and if the property for any reason doesn't pass, we would have to advise you and let you know as to why it didn't pass, which is why I was curious as to why that other guy told you you didn't pass, but then didn't give you a reason to it. That's something that we have to do. So let's just say for instance, if we check your roof and it turns out that your roof uh needs to get reinforced for the paddles. That's something that we need to advise you and let you know, or your property couldn't qualify for it. Does that make it a little bit more sense, Majid?

yeah, it's

not

based

on

income

or anything like that. The only thing is you would need to have a good standing credit score of 670 or higher. And the reason why they asked for that is because traditionally, homeowners will make their payments on time have a good standing credit score of 670 or higher, or if you have any past bankruptcies or foreclosures within the past 7 years, that would also automatically disqualify you. So you're good on that end, right?

lien involved

with

this. That, that's why I mentioned it's as long as the property qualifies. That's the big thing here. Otherwise, every single homeowner in Southern California would be jumping into these programs, but the reason why they're not is because a lot of homeowners have old roofs. They have damaged main panel units, they have older main panel units, uh, their credit score might not be in good, in good shape, so a lot of homeowners do unfortunately don't qualify, so I'd want to stay around 30 to 40% of the applicants that we do help try and move forward. They actually get denied because something's wrong with the property. So, even though this all may sound good, it sounds like a no-brainer. The thing here is the property would need to qualify. And that's why we send a consultant out to you, for one, to explain everything to you, show you a full breakdown, Answer any questions or concerns you may have and actually show you how much you'll save compared to what you're spending right on me.

is

correct. It, it, it completely gets rid of that California Edison bill, and now you just pay a cheaper solar energy bill. That's it. So like the example I gave earlier, where if you're paying $200 with Edison on average, we now can get you anywhere between 100 to 130. It just depends on the size of the system at that point and what you're looking for. Does that make a, a little bit more sense, Majid? I hope it did.

this program's government endorsed, meaning that any solar company can actually come up to you and offer you this program, which is why I said was it's kind of strange how you looked into solar before, but they advised that you didn't qualify. There, there always has to be a reason as to why. Um, so if they ever did give you the reason, you know, that would give me a better understanding, but from what you're telling me right now, I don't see why not. You shouldn't be able to qualify. Your roof's in good standing condition. Um, it has no leaks or damage. Your main panel unit should be in good standing shape as well, especially if you redid everything, um, so it definitely sounds like you could be a good fit. The next step is just sitting down and seeing if it worked out for you.

yeah, I mean, what,

what time works better for you? Is it typically mornings or afternoons that work better for you, Majid?

Afternoon

no problem. I mean, I

can do, let's see here. And what time do you usually get home after work? Is it after 4, after 5, after 6?

I mean, what I can do then if

you

get home around that 6 o'clock time frame. I can definitely go ahead and mark you down for like 6:30 just because the latest consultation we have does run all the way up until 7, and I do see a spot here. The 6:30 or 7 p.m. work better for you, Majid?

Monday

it'll

be

for

perfect then. OK, so Monday, let me see.

Uh, and for Monday, I do have it looks like here, a 11 o'clock available. Would 110 be good for you? 11 a.m.?

Imogene.

Let me go ahead and mark you down then for this upcoming Monday at 11. Now, for that California Edison bill that you get, do you get it online or in the mail?

problem

at all.

problem,

man. What I can do for you is I'm gonna send you a text message just letting you know that you're all set for Monday

at 11. If you have the chance, please send over page 3 of your bill. It just shows a bar graph that we can use to conduct the savings report for you and also save you some time during the consultation, OK?

page 3, it has a bar graph

on it. You can't miss it, so it should be right there. Um, but awesome then, so you're all set. I got you down for Monday at 11. Now we do work as a first come, first serve, so that just means that since you're taking that time, another homeowner can't take it. So I just wanna make sure that that 11 o'clock time frame works for you, Majid.

Awesome then.

OK. I'll

send you that text message shortly. She'll just expect it within 5 minutes. And just give me a

like just to let us know that you received it, OK? Awesome thenmoje. We look forward to meeting you this upcoming Monday at 11. Thank

you.

Bye-bye.

Hi, hello, is this Mr. Casimano?

Yeah, this is Josh. I was just giving you a call. I, I believe you spoke with someone on my team earlier in the day regarding the new energy program, is that correct?

program?

$30,000 a year, you can make $3 million a year. Not not based on income. What it's solely

based

on

Yeah, it's based on your property and if you're able to qualify for it, right? So for yourself, do you have a good standing credit score of at least 680 or higher.

Yeah, OK. And then what about your roof's condition? Any major leaks or damages you're aware of?

No? OK. And do you get a lot of sunlight on the property or do you have any big trees or tall buildings that provide shade on the roof.

A lot of sunlight. OK. Gotcha. And do you roughly know how much you're currently averaging right now for your energy or no?

400. OK. Got you. And then for your energy provider, is it California Edison or PG&E?

Southern Cal. OK. Got you then. And then, of course, for these programs, uh, there's no existing solar system on the property right now, correct?

OK. Well, it definitely seems like you could be a good fit. Now, like I mentioned, uh, the next step is just having the consultant stop by and seeing if you're able to get approved for the program. So what they do is they write sit down with you, they go over the program, they show you how much you can save with it. And then, of course, they answer any questions or concerns for you, Mr. Casimano. Um, when it comes down to your availability, you typically more free in the mornings or in the afternoons?

Evening times. OK. Let me see here. I do have available this upcoming, uh, Tuesday or would like around 4 p.m. work for you?

later, do you need it later? OK. Uh,

so for the latest consultation I have, it would be a 7 p.m. Would a 7 p.m. be good for you?

That'll work. OK. So let me see what day I got for you to see. I do have it looks like here a 7 p.m. available for Thursday. Would that be a good time for you, Mr. Cosimano?

Yeah, OK.

then

takes roughly around 30 minutes, 45 on the longer end if you have a lot of questions, but it's around a 30 minute uh uh.

OK, so, uh, just to give you a quick little breakdown, what they do is they stop by, right? They sit down with you, they go over the program, they go over your bill, they give you a savings report to show you how much you can save. And then, of course, they answer any questions or concerns. Now, Mr. Cosimano, is there anyone else on the property with you that owns it or that's on titled like a spouse or family member?

OK, perfect then Mr. Casimano. And now I know you mentioned you say you didn't qualify before. Have you looked into these solar programs before in the past or no?

Gotcha. OK. Well, I can assure

you

really

No, really good question. So there's no money that comes out of your pocket in regards to these newer programs, so there's no loan you take out, there's no down payment, there's nothing for the installation cost in there as well as no lien on the property. Essentially, if everything checks through with your property, you're able to get the system for nothing out of pocket, and the only bill you take on is a much cheaper energy bill, around 40% cheaper than what you're currently paying right now. Does that make it a little more sense?

It'll be roughly around, I would say anywhere between 200 to around 230, 240 around there. It just depends on the size of the system and seeing how much they can help you save at that point. Does that make a little more sense, Mr. Cussamoto?

Yeah, OK, perfect. So I, I could definitely go ahead and set this up for you then for Thursday at 7 p.m. Um, now for that utility bill you do get, do you get it online or do you get it in the mail?

Oh, OK. Got you then. She probably has it somewhere then. for sure.

OK. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna send you a text message. It's just to confirm for Thursday at 7. So if you want, you can actually save, save yourself some time too. Have your wife send a picture of page 3. It just has a bar graph on there. That's all we need. That shows your energy usage for the entire year. We use that to go ahead and conduct the savings report. So if you're able to send it before, that would even save you more time during the consultation, OK?

Awesome then, Mr. Customato. So I'm gonna send you that text message shortly. Uh, what you could do for me in the meantime is just give me a like or a thumbs up just to let us know you received it. Other than that, you are all set for Thursday at 7 p.m. and I do just want to confirm uh the address here. It's the one on 10,860 Lowden Street in Seton. Is that correct?

Perfect then. So I'll send you that text message. Um, we do work as a first come, first serve, so what that means is since you're taking that time at 7, another homeowner won't be able to take advantage. So I truly just want to make sure that that time works out best for you and your wife.

Perfect then, Mr. Cosimmao. So I'll send that text message shortly. I look forward to your reply. We look forward to meeting you this Thursday at 7.

Awesome then. You have yourself a great day.

You too. Bye-bye
