Hey, Mike, how are you doing? This is Josh.

I'm

doing really good, really good.

glad I caught you.

It was a little back and forth there, but it's OK, we got

it set

it.

No, it's OK, no worries. Uh, how can I help you out, uh, Michael?

Uh-huh

OK, got you.

You want like a, a breakdown of like on the app of how it works and everything

like that.

Gotcha. And then just a

quick

Yeah, no, so with this program, uh, like

I mentioned, you don't owe anything, right? You just pay for the energy that of course that system produces for you. Now I

know you said you got an email from California Edison. Um,

I just wanna let you know, Michael, just be weary because there are, um, pretty much solicitors out there that would pretend to be California Edison. I actually

just had another homeowner I helped install the same time as yourself. He

received a letter from quote unquote someone from Edison asking them about their system, and it turned out to not be California Edison, they were pretending

to be California Edison to get some information. So just be

wary of emails like that out there. I can actually, uh, uh, I, I can actually repeat what they said. They might have told you the same thing, but I have it right here. Give me one second. Let me, let me

look at it for you. So, 1 2nd here. Give me 1 2nd as I double check. All right. Let me see. So, the email said I'm reaching out in regards to the property here and then they stated the property. I did the meter spot on your panel and haven't received an inspection yet. It has been on our backlog for more than 45 days, and we require you to cancel your job if I don't hear back from you. And this

was some uh uh fake technician from Southern California Edison that a homeowner emailed over to me, um, for that email, if you'd like, you can actually forward it over to me as well, and I can

let you know if that's a credible, like Southern California Edison rep, or if it's someone just trying to get some information.

Yeah, so just,

just

be,

just be careful.

got

you

Uh-huh.

of course, yeah, you're always gonna have that uh bill coming in from. now that pass bill that you might have received from California Edison, it might

have been a, a overdue balance during that transition period of when you were going into solo. So that might

be because that's

system should be covering 100% of your usage like we stated,

um, of

course, if you were to overuse on the system, like how I explain, if you were to like run the AC nonstop and just keep that thing going. Uh,

then, of

course,

right, you're gonna get a second bill stating that you owe, but

if you're like a break d ow n how the application works, I can see if there's someone in the area so they can go ahead and go out to you and explain everything, OK?

It

doesn't

make

sense

Uh-huh.

not

a

Yeah, so that bill might have been a lingering bill from the past that they're just wanting you to pay because,

right, if you were to overar your energy, then that's

when you'll receive a larger bill from like California Edison or just the bill for medicine in general. So it might have been

during that trench you remember how I told you, give it 2

months to see

how solar's been working for you because if you're receiving a bill after 2 months, then we can take a look into it and see what's going on.

Yeah Yeah, more than likely it is a carryover. Uh,

when you receive your next so that will be like a truer bill for you because that's when you'll, of course, uh, have

that so

Yeah, the only bill that you'll be receiving from them would be the connection fee. So that connection fee, uh, they did go up to year in California and so I think it's around $15 or $50 or $20

around

Yeah, so that's the only bill

that you should be receiving. Like I mentioned,

the only other time that you put a bill from California Edison. If, if

you were to overuse

on your energy, and then that

solar

system can't produce that that much energy for, you get what I'm saying? Like if you were to

overuse, then that system, you would need to pull from California Edison, and that's from California Edison gives you a bill,

we

yeah exactly. So

there you go Exactly, but yeah,

I mean

it.

I,

I can

show you, I can uh potentially have someone out. Now, I double checked that we give you a little bit of time before we send someone out, probably like,

uh, you know, about a week or so depending on where

their availability's at, but

at least I can keep you in the loop. In the meantime,

what do you do for me, Michael.

Go ahead

and send me a picture of that bill on what you owe for

California Edison, so send me page

1 and page 3, just so I can go ahead and take a look and just make sure.

Got

you. OK

Awesome. That's perfect. Thank you then.

No problem, Michael. Anytime, man. You enjoy the rest of your day.

OK. Thank

you. Bye-bye

Hey, Valentine.

Hey, Valentine. My name's Josh. I was just giving you a call. I believe you just spoke with someone on my team regarding the new energy program. How are you doing?

Good, Valentina. I was just giving you a call, of course, seeing if you got the notices from California Edison. It was on the back of your bill or you actually might have seen it on the news too. It was about the rate increases this year. Did you happen to catch those?

Uh-huh.

Oh, OK. Gotcha. So the company that went out to you, was it in regards to just Windows or what was it about?

Gotcha. OK

No worries. So what they were talking to you about where there's different incentivized programs that can help you lower your current energy bill. Um, the one

we're calling to you about are the new solar programs are available, so I'm reaching out because Valentin, you may qualify for a government program that can reduce your electricity bill by 40%. Now, that's why I'm reaching out to see, you know, if you are able to qualify. So for your property here, uh, I know you do mention that nothing in life is free, and I, and I want to point that out that you're correct. What happens is you just eliminate the bill right now that you're paying with Edison. And you switch it for a cheaper bill. So you're still gonna have a bill. It's just gonna be much cheaper than what you're currently paying. Around 40%, sometimes even a little bit more. So for your Bill Valentine, do you know how much you paid for your most recent energy

bill? Like how much on the most recent one?

Gotcha. So, OK.

It varies.

OK. Well, no problem. I understand that Bill's very especially here in California, right? Because summer months tend to be really high. So that's probably your high bills. And then, of course, your average bills are anywhere between that $80 to like $100 range, correct?

OK. Well, Valentino, you are paying a high amount for your energy and with the rate increases that California implemented, so I'm not too sure if you know this

year, California Edison

raised their rates by 15%. So that 80 to 100 you're paying can easily jump up to 130, 150 now. And then even on the higher end, you can probably be passing 200. So that's why we're giving homeowners a call because it's just as long as yourself and your property are able to qualify Valentine. That's how you're able to get the system. The only thing you pay for is for the cheaper energy costs, and that's it. So, for the property,

do you have any like big trees or tall buildings that provide shade over your roof by any chance?

Oh, OK.

If you don't mind me asking, what bad things have you heard? Like, do you have any friends or family members that got into solar?

OK, gotcha.

How long ago

was, how long ago did he get his solar, if you don't mind me asking? Do you have

a

uh, OK. That makes a lot of

sense then, Valentin cause programs, even 3 years ago. So if they didn't,

energy from them. So

yeah, to give you an example, if you're paying like 200, we can get you as low as $100 sometimes even less. It just really depends. So that's why I was just calling to see if you're a good fit, OK?

Yeah, so this number here, this is my main office line and I'll be more than happy to, you know, give you a call with your wife if that's something you want me to explain to her because even though these programs sound good. A lot of homeowners don't qualify for them because of their property. So is it OK if I ask you a few questions before you talk to your wife just to see if you are, and then if

you aren't, you don't have to talk to her about it.

OK. Uh, I know you said for your roof, you have no trees, but what about the roof condition? Are there any leaks or damages?

None? OK, perfect. And then for the type of roof you have, is it shingles, concrete tile, clay tile. Do you happen to know?

Concrete tile. Perfect. That's not an issue. We definitely worked with concrete tile before. And then for the property, do you and your wife own it together? Like is she on Tidal with you or is it just yourself?

Both. OK, perfect. That's not an issue at all. And then since these programs are government endorsed Valentin, you would just need to have a good standing credit score of at least 660 or higher, so I'm guessing you're good there too, correct?

OK, no worries.

Any, any

like bankruptcies

or foreclosures in the past 7

years? No?

OK. No worries.

Just because if you did have a bankruptcy or foreclosure within 7 years, they would automatically

disqualify you from the program, meaning that

they wouldn't even give you a chance. So it sounds like you

should be

good there. Shouldn't be an issue. And I know this last question's silly, but no existing solar on the property, correct?

No? OK. Well, Valentina,

I know you saw, said you still need to speak to your wife to see if this is something you guys wanna do, and I'll be the same way, especially, you know, me and my wife will make decisions together. Go ahead, speak to your

wife if you like, I can have this tentatively set up for you like on Tuesday or Wednesday so it gives you some time just because I know we're going into uh the July 4th year, so homeowners are gonna be busy. I can tentatively set it for you like in the afternoon like around 5:30 or 6. Speak to your wife. I can give you a call Monday just to make sure that that time works for you, OK, Valentine?

sounds good. Perfect then. Uh,

for the time, would a Tuesday or Wednesday be better for you and your wife?

Uh, this is just a tentatively set a time, just so that you don't lose your spot because a lot of homeowners are booking for Tuesday and Wednesday, and I would hate for you not to take advantage. So I can give you a call Monday, um, but for the time with the Tuesday or Wednesday work for you? It doesn't mean you're gonna sit down. It just means that that time is safe for you.

no, it's good,

it's good. No worries then. I'll give you a call Monday. What time Monday would work for, for me to give you a call?

around

4:30. Perfect, Jonathan, go ahead and speak to your wife. Remember, these programs don't cost you guys anything. It's just a matter if you're, if you're able to, uh, if your property is able to qualify. So just explain that to her and then I can give you a call on Monday, OK?

Awesome, Valentine. You have

a

great day

Hi, Ms. Rutt

Hi, my name is

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

Yes, so we're reaching out because we're helping homeowners in the area lower their power bill with this government endorsed solar program that's now made for you not to pay for panels and just pay for cheaper electricity than what you're currently paying right now.

Yeah, uh, awesome

Yeah, awesome. So with this program, you don't have to finance anything. Essentially what it is is if you qualify, your bill will now get eliminated and swapped out for a cheaper bill up to 40%. So you're not financing anything, you're not taking a loan out, you're just doing a simple bill reduction. Uh, the thing is, Ms. Rudd, you would need to qualify. My job was really just ask you a couple quick questions just to see if you're a good fit.

absolutely, and I'm, I'm a complete agreement with you, so I don't want you to think that this is free. The way that it works is instead of you paying your current power bill at a higher cost. Your bill's not gonna be eliminated and swapped out for a cheaper bill. So you're still gonna be getting a bill. It's just 40% cheaper than what you're currently paying.

Yeah, well, so the thing is the catch is is that not everyone can qualify for it, right? So as good as it all sounds, not everyone can take advantage of this program, which is ultimately why we're reaching out. Does that make sense?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, so there's different kinds, right? More, more of your preference, uh, are you asking in terms of like the, like if they're American made, Chinese made, things like that.

OK. So there's different options, right? We do have American-made panels. We have Canadian made panels, Chinese panels, uh, there's different ones. Um, but as far as like the, the specific ones that we use that they're called Q cells. They're the top of the line. That's what's, that's the top of the line right now.

absolutely, yeah,

at

Sure. No, yeah, so, I mean, there is different options right now. I will say preferably the way that it works is it is on the roof. Um, essentially, right, if you have a lot of sunlight exposure, uh, then you would be able to do that. Um, as far as like, the, if you don't mind me asking, as far as like the condition of the roof, was there any leaks you were aware of or any damages at all?

Awesome. OK. I mean, that's one of the qualifications, right, just for me to set the expectation proper. Um, you also advised you were the homeowner of Brighton Court. Is that correct?

OK. Now, lastly, Ms. Rudd, I mean, really since the program is government endorsed that they do need to make sure that you have a standing credit score of above 660.

so it's

like

no, so just to be clear with you, this is not an, an Edison program. It's the program itself is called the Power Purchase Agreement. So it's a government endorsed solar program. So essentially what happens is, let's say hypothetically speaking, you get approved. You would then be getting the solar installed and Edison would go out and activate the system for you.

Uh, no, so we're not Sunrun. We're local energy partners. So essentially what we do is we basically we have on a different day we have an energy consultant pop by, show you a free savings report for about 30 minutes. They answer any questions or concerns you have. They show you a free savings report, right? And then ultimately see if we can help you get approved to help you lower that bill.

No, no, there's no information that I need. The, the only questions were, were those specific ones that I asked, which it seems like you could be a good fit for it. Um, essentially, it seems like obviously you'd probably want to get a better understanding how it looks and then, and how it works and get more uh inside of that. Is that fair to say?

Power purchase agreement, so it's PPA for short.

I can actually send you a direct link to it. This is your direct number, correct?

Perfect. So you can go ahead and look at this as well. That way you're familiar with it. It's a government endorsed solar program that's literally just made for you to pay for cheaper power. So it, it, it's kind of in the name you're just purchasing the power that you're producing. So I

can

Yeah, I can

explain

to you.

sent you a

link right here.

Yeah, it's, it's on your tech, you should have received it right now through your, through your number.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, so essentially the way that it works is let's say you and your property qualifies, you're able to get solar installed on the property with no money out of pocket. You're not taking a loan out, you're not financing anything. What it does is it eliminates your current Edison bill, and it swaps it out for a cheaper solar bill up to 40%. So what our job is to do is our job is to help find a better date and time on a different day where we can have an energy pop by for about 30 minutes. We show you a free savings report. If there's any questions you have you can write them down. Our job is to make sure to answer them for you and give you a proper breakdown of what the program entails and what it would look like for you in your home in terms of savings.

No, so that's a very great question. So the reason that credit score is asked is because since it's a government endorsed program. They do want to make sure that you're on time with your payments and that you don't have any bankruptcies or foreclosures under your name.

Perfect. So, yeah, that's

the only reason, uh, sorry, go ahead.

So like

your

no, so, yeah, so you're not gonna have an Edison payment anymore. You're gonna be paying a cheaper solar payment. So that's

the only

uh-huh

uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh

No, so, great, great question. So instead of you paying Edison, you'd be now paying the solar company. So you're just gonna be paying a cheaper power bill to the solar company. They're going to serve as your new utility provider.

Yeah, so we work as a brokerage, right, so our job is to connect you with the best solar company in the area from what it looks like it would be Paxton Energy.

Yeah, energy

No, they're, they're actually located here in uh in the San Fernando Valley.

they,

they

oh, OK, so yeah, I'm, I'm not too familiar with them, but essentially what we do, right, is we have an energy consultant go out to you. Uh, they go about for about 30 minutes. They show you a free breakdown of what it would look like to for your property. That way you can see the benefit of cutting down on your bill without you having to come a dime out of pocket, um, and, and essentially that's why homeowners are making the transition. It's just more if you can qualify, but based

on

sure, yeah, great question. So, no, you're, you're not paying for the solar panels. Uh, the reason that is is because you're just purchasing the electricity that the panels produce for you. So it's not like the other programs where you're paying for the actual panels. Um, with this one, you're just paying for electricity at a cheaper cost.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, correct

Uh-huh

Yeah, no, yes, so that, that's the great thing about it, right? So it, it's not that you're paying for the solar panels, the, the solar panels themselves are gonna produce electricity for you through the through obviously through the panels on the roof. So what happens is, let's say hypothetically that $250 you're paying, that's gonna be now reduced up to 40%, so you won't be paying $250 anymore. You'd now be paying a much cheaper solar bill. And, and that's actually the purpose of solar,

Yeah. So where, where Edison comes in, right, let's say hypothetically speaking, you move forward and you get the solar installed, you would now be getting activated by Edison. They would come out and activate the system for you.

so no

so you're not gonna be tied in with Edison anymore. The only thing you would get anything related to Edison, it's just the connection fee because they, they obviously, you can never be off the grid. No one can. Um, but that's it. You just get a small connection fee, but you're not going to be paying Edison for power anymore.

Uh, not too long. It typically it could take maybe rough to maybe like 2 weeks or so. Obviously don't quote me on it, but what

hap

Oh, so typically it depends with what company you go with and like what, uh, because I, I have heard of that too. I have heard of like Tesla, they take it up to like 6 months, believe it or not. Um, but with the, with the installers that we work with, typically I would say at most, obviously if there's any issues, it would probably take up to 3 weeks, maybe a month. But that's on rare occasions,

right? If there's any issues like within the property. But based on what you told me, it doesn't seem like there's anything that needs to be fixed or, you know, changed or anything.

Sure. OK.

No, yeah, I'm,

uh, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm glad that I asked these questions just to set the expectation proper for you, uh, because I would hate to waste any of your time obviously if this is not even something you could take advantage of. Um, but essentially, right, that's all the reason we're calling for, uh, essentially if there's a different day that you have about 30 minutes where we can have them pop by and break all this stuff down for you, show your free savings report. Uh, is, is it usually You in like a morning time or afternoon time?

Yeah, so as far as that goes, that's more of like your preference if, if you want like the American made, uh, that's who would be more manufacturing it.

Uh-huh.

So we, we, we have the latest styles in terms of like, uh, obviously like product production and everything. We make sure to get you connected with the top of the line. So that's the good thing with the, as far as like the way that we work as we make sure to get you the top of the line, that way you get the most efficient, um, production, cause that's clearly that's probably the most important thing when you're getting sold.

So that

yeah, so it's, so obviously, right, never bashing on any other company, right? All these companies are great. Uh, the only difference is that with us our job is specifically to connect you with the best possible deal out there. I'm sure when you're looking into solar, you obviously want to get the best amount of savings and obviously the best amount of service. So with us, we make sure to walk your hand throughout the whole process that way, right, if you have any questions, you don't have to wait through customer service. You can connect to us directly and we're, we're right on top of it.

There's no lien attached to the property. It doesn't affect your property tax because you're not financing anything. B. I was just reaching out about that notice you

you

don't.

on

with the

Bill has vision

It, it's, uh, it sounds really too good to be true. The thing is, Miss. right, I can guarantee you it's simply because not everyone can qualify for it. We've helped plenty of homeowners get approved for these programs. Uh, that's why we're reaching out. Um, obviously, it looks like you wanna look into how you can take advantage of it. Obviously your kids got it. Um, it's really just a great program that just helps you lower your power bill.

Oh OK

Uh-huh

Yeah, so the, the good thing is that right with solar there's different variety, right? There's different options with this one it's literally designed for homeowners that don't wanna finance anything and just wanna pay for cheaper power. The thing is, I know you have a lot of great questions. That's exactly what the consultation is for. It's for us to answer all of them for you that way you can see in writing and get a better understanding of how it works. That way, obviously there's no confusion and you can see that everything I'm telling you is exactly what it is and in writing.

know

just

yeah, great, that's a very great question. That's obviously a very common question, Ms. Red. So, what happens in a situation like that, let's say even within a year, randomly you just decide to sell, you're like, oh, I don't want to be here anymore. I want to sell. It's fully transferable, so you're not paying anything off the way that it works is you'd be transferring the savings that you're getting onto the next homeowner. So they would now be able to take advantage of your savings. So it's kind of like when any homeowner moves into a property, right? They, they sign up to get tied into the utility. It's the same ex act thing with this. You would just be transferring over to them.

Well, yeah, of course, but let's say hypothetically speaking, right, they're qualifying for your property. That means that they'll be able to qualify for the solar.

No, that, that,

that's awesome. That's awesome.

Well, yeah

I mean, that, uh, obviously, Ms. R, it looks like he has a lot of great questions. That's ultimately why we're reaching out. If there was any other questions you had, our, our job is to make sure to have the consultant answer them for you. Uh, at least from what I'm seeing, I, I don't know if you have any availability maybe on a different day for about 30 minutes, uh, maybe even like a morning time or an afternoon time?

worries

No No.

From, from what I see,

So this would be my direct line. Um, obviously, right, we would want to make sure that your husband is on board and on the same page with everything, uh, as well, um, it, I know that this week isn't good. Typically, would you say that early in the week would work better for you? Maybe like a Monday or Tuesday? Next week?

Gotcha. OK, absolutely. We'll

go ahead and speak with him because

sorry go ahead.

Uh, yeah, well, so definitely speak with your husband, right? Go over it with him. Uh, what I could do is maybe I can touch base with you guys sometime next week, maybe on Monday or Tuesday and see where things pan out for you guys.

got you.

OK, yeah, absolutely. We could definitely do that then. We'll we'll touch base then. That's perfect.

So my name is Adam. I'm the verifications manager.

Of course, yeah.

I, I'll advise

uh-huh.

Absolutely. Perfect. That sounds good.

Of

course.

You too. Thank you

so much.

Hey, Ross.

Hey, Ross, it's Bichoy here. How are you?

I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Um, I called, I called Dame, but she told me to give you a call um instead. So I wanted to, cause I did receive obviously the uh pictures of the, of your electric bill. So I just wanted to go over that with you. Is now a good time

OK. Now, now is a good time for me to go over it?

OK. So, um, obviously, I have reviewed your bill, and I, I'm comparing everything to the system that we designed. Um, I

don't, I don't know if you recall during the consultation when we originally met, um, cause obviously, I'm looking at your electric bill. Last July because I'm looking at this July how much power you guys have used and compared to last July in 2025. Your

usage um, last year, you have, you were using 39.45 kilowatt hours every single day for

this year, you guys are using 62.7 kilowatt hours a day, right? That's, I'm just talking about the month of July. So your, basically your usage had gone up, you know, from

yeah, so if you recall, and that's why I'm giving you a call just so we can be on the same page. Your system is working, but if you recall during the consultation, when the first system that we designed, um, it was a total of 21 panels with the right amount of batteries, but when you guys saw

the system, you guys said that you either your usage was gonna go down or you guys were having some people move out. So you guys weren't gonna be using the same amount of power that you know that's obviously that was shown in the in the system. So

we, uh, you basically removed panels, um,

because you guys that know our usage is gonna go down, so remove panels, we just want to cover our future usage.

So we rem

uh, it, it was 4 panels. We, we had to remove

4

panels, um, so we had to remove 4 panels and we basically that's the system that you guys said, yeah, this is, this is the right amount of usage that we're gonna use, um, we're not

gonna use it anymore. So

later

on,

looking at

the,

sorry, go for it.

If you, and this is on your Edison bill like it's not a number that I'm making up

if you don't mind.

and that's again, this is something that I was gonna go over with you. I'm literally covering everything, like, you know, little by little so we can be on the same page. And, and we'll go over the batteries as well. The, and that's, this is something that I just wanted to basically, you know, have in front of you guys with your, from your electric bill. So if you can, uh, you guess sent me page 3 of your Edison bill. Do you mind if you open that bill in

front of you?

in,

in the

text message,

in the group message that we have, if

you

can look at

page 3 with me because I have it in front of me right now.

Yeah, yeah.

Let me, let me know when you, when you have it in front of you so we can, we can go over it together.

Yes, we're where it shows the uh the bar graph.

Yeah, so if you look right in the middle of the page where it says your past and current electricity usage.

So where it says total electricity you use this month in kilowatt hours and then the bottom of it it says total electricity

you exported

this month. So you guys actually sent 11 kilowatt hours cause at some point you guys uh weren't like using all of the power that your system, that your solar generated, so you sent it to Southern California Edison, but the number that I want you guys to take a look at under that line, it says electricity usage and it says last year, 39. 45 this year is 62.70.

I'll, I'll,

I

the, um, actually, and again, uh, just so we can all be on the same page when we designed the original system, it was gonna cover all of your electricity usage and a little bit more, um, but you guys requested that we remove some panels because the electricity usage is gonna drop. It wasn't gonna go more. It was actually gonna go down because people were moving out. So we took away panels. but the

opposite,

and it

shows on the electricity bill that

the opposite actually

happened. You guys are using

more. Yeah.

So, and, and just letting you know, like the electricity usage that it says there, and I can send you the breakdown of how your system is performing as well. You are basically using 1800 kilowatt hours on top of what the solar is generating. So the usage technically it multiplied by 2. So the, the solar and I can send you the breakdown of how much power you guys consumed from your solar on top of how much power you guys consumed with Southern California Edison, so that would give you a better idea as if why the solar itself is not giving you all the amount that you're using. So it's

still,

when

you're looking at

both

Yeah, so,

because,

yeah, and, and that's, that's the part that I was trying to and I obviously I'll give you a call again when I have all the numbers in front of me so I can show you if without the solar at all for the amount of power that you guys actually used. This is how much your Edison bill would have been, and because the solar is installed, this is how much solar and your Edison built in regards of the total amount that you pay, is how much you're actually saving. Um, I'll get the actual graph so we can go over it. I'll send it to you guys so we can go over it and then we can compare everything side by side.

unfortunately,

like, because your usage had gone up more than what you used last year, so the amount is the same, so if you look, if you go back to your July of 2025, um, and this is something that you can pull online, um, it,

do you

happen to

recall how much you

paid for July 2025?

Mhm. So the,

the

go

for

it.

It's been a

hot summer, yeah.

The only, and again, uh like we will have uh, uh, once I have the graph, I'll, and so we can break down everything in regards to how much you would have been paying with Southern California Edison. The only thing that I'll leave you off as of now obviously until I have the graph with me. Last July, as you said, you guys were paying $450 to $500. Now your electricity usage doubled and you're paying that $470 the same amount. So if, wouldn't you think if your electricity usage have doubled, you would have been paying double, um, if the system itself wasn't working.

paying

the same amount

you would

have paid.

I'll get you like, do you happen to have a copy of June's bill as well?

or

would you happen to have a copy of last month's June? Would you happen to have a copy of the bill?

Uh, yeah, I, I will, I'll still need to look at that bar graph. so I can know exactly the electricity

the

first

one

please

Let me get

the graph so we can,

I

um, I have to request it from, from Good Leap itself. It's not something that I just it's because it's confidential information, it's your information, so I have to ask good leap to send me a picture of that graph, and then we can go over them together.

Uh, you should have it in, um, on your app.

Let me, I'll send

you the name of

the app over text message, um, so you can, um, basically log in to that app and then it would literally tell you how much power your system is generating, how much power you're sending out to Southern California Edison and how much power you are getting from Southern California.

Mhm So the other, uh, obviously, the other option would be to add to your existing system, but based off your usage,

we will need to add um we, we, we will need to add a lot of panels now because your usage has doubled.

Um, if you add more panels, you, I, I, this is something that I'll need to check if you just add 4 panels, but you will still basically owe

money to Southern California Edison just because you, your

electricity just doubled.

Yeah. The only, obviously if you wanna eliminate all of the Edison bill we'll need to obviously look at um your actual usage, which is what you're using currently right now and then we will need to add panels to cover all of your uh which is doable, it's possible, but we will need to add more definitely be more than 4 panels. It will need to be a lot more. If that's something that you're interested to look into. I'll be obviously more than happy to do that

Yeah, so I'll, that part for you, right? So, for your friends or neighbors that have solar panels, what basically

what happened is during the original consultation that we, you know, that we, when we all met, um, you, you know, during that consultation when they had a consultation with another company, they usually tell them, hey, our, we're planning to do this, we're planning to do this, we're planning to do that, we're adding this that we're adding 4 mini splits, we're adding 2 mini splits, we're adding a mobile home, we're adding to all of this, so we're basically when we're building out a system, we would say OK this is how much extra power that you will need for, you know, when you, when you do all of this additions, we can account for it and you're basically not getting any bills from Southern California Edison. But what happened during the consultation was the opposite. When we looked at your bill, and we said, OK, this is how much power this is how many panels you will need with solar to give you 110%. So 10% more electricity to cover your current usage right now. What happened was when we showed you that this is the amount of power that you need. During the consultation, you guys were saying no, we're our usage is actually gonna

go down,

right? So we didn't account

for any future usage, we accounted for your electric for you, you know, the past year's usage that it will even go lower than what we had. So, when, you know, when you guys did all the additions with the mini splits with the mobile home, everything that you guys added these things, they use a lot of power. A lot, a lot of power than,

than most

homeowners.

yeah, but at the same time, you guys were saying it's gonna, you know, our usage is gonna go lower.

the

bell,

Yeah, the bill that we

had just letting you know, just so we, we would all be on the same page. It was from October 2024 to October 2025.

That's the bill that

we had. So when we met them, he said, are you doing, are you planning to add

an electric vehicle? Are you planning to add any type of appliances, um, when we had the consultation, you guys actually

said,

no, our usage is going to drop. It's

not going to go up. So we, we said, OK, then

you

guys

When did you

get

RV,

if

you don't mind

me asking? When did you

guys get the, uh, the RV, if you don't mind me asking?

OK. So, so that's basically what's, what, you know, what's happening and that's, you know, that's why you guys are seeing a second bill is because the, and again, I'm, I'm glad that we're both on the same page on this. Your usage had doubled. Um, so it, it was covering your, you know, your 2025, you know, basically your electric usage for all 2025 and end of 2024. Uh, but when your electric bill, when your usage had doubled, obviously that's, that's when you're, when you start pulling electricity from Southern California Edison. And I'm more than happy to get you the graph, and then I can show you, OK, without solar, this is what you would have been paying with Southern California Edison. This is how much solar is saving you right now. Um, but if you guys would like to see what things would look like if we cover all of your electricity usage, so your you're basically eliminating you know, your electric bill with Southern California Edison. Obviously, this is, I'm more than happy to show you that and then we can go over that option as well.

I'll be more than happy to show you that. Um, in, in the meantime, if you can, um, sorry to ask you about this, if you can send me the, the June 2026 bill, um, and I can work on, you know, just basically to, you know, the option that we were talking about, how much will it need?

Uh, no,

just last month

just last

month

Yeah, I'll send you the name of the app so you can download it and then you can see how your system is performing, how much power your system is making, and then, um,

and then

Yup. Yup.

Thank you guys very much

for the call and then, um, please send me that picture right away and then obviously I'll, um, once I have the graph, I'll give you guys a call and then we'll go over everything again together.

Yeah, yeah, I'll, I'll send it to the group message that, you know, that we, that we have together.

Thank you guys very much.

Thank you.

Bye-bye.

mine yesterday in regards

Hey Ma. Hey Mago,

good morning.

How are you doing?

Good, good, good. Um, I actually, um, I'm, I'm, I saw your message in the morning. I was driving, so I, I just wanted to wait until I get to the office so I can speak with you a little bit more, so I, I obviously saw your uh, your message in regards of, you know, that it does not make sense. Can you tell me a little bit more in regards of uh what makes it not make sense at the moment?

our

but do you

know like how much you paid on the most recent

program?

would

benefit or is

DWP?

that's

why

we I'm

sure in the

summer time you

probably tend to notice it go up higher than usual.

So what

it is

we're

doing

is

we're helping

these works

are just

what you're currently

as long as you can get

a pair

I mean. the

And, and if you

don't

mind me asking,

have you ever heard

anything about like

programs or anything like that.

the

reason I ask is just

because

these older programs

are

in

regards

to getting

solar

and clo on your roof

alone for a much less payment

than that

ends well.

is

it uh, do you know like his system size

I mean,

I'm, I'm, I'm look cause I'm obviously looking at what you I'm comparing side to side, um, in regards of with solar, right? the the the whole thing of the program is, you know, it's, it's for homeowners to not take out a loan, right? It's not made for our homeowners to take out a loan and you're not getting an additional bill, um. from Edison in regards of like electricity. We're covering all of your electricity and more. but 14% more electricity for you to run, uh, you know, you told me about the portable AC that you guys have in, in your bedroom. Um, so like you guys would be comfortable with your usage with those 14% extra power and you're saving close to $100 a month, every single month. Um, now, not in the future, like starting as soon as your system gets activated, you are, you know, you're saving $100. And in addition to that, you know, you, you, if the main electrical panel, if it needs to be upgraded, if any of that, it's still, you know, you're, you're, you're not paying any of that out of, out of your pocket. Um, do you feel like you want to have ownership on the system like you want the system to be yours?

you.

So the, the 3, so, oh yeah, so now I get you in regards of like you're, you're looking at it, well, now I'm saving up, uh, you know, $1200 for example, but next year solar is going up by 3.5%. So it's not going to be 1200 anymore. Am I getting this correct?

uh, there are two

things that I, I, because they're, obviously you said two major things. I, I just want to make sure that you, you know, in, in regards of, cause I have obviously the, not the solution, but I know where you're, I understand where, where you're coming from. So, if you remember in the consultation, the reason why your, your friends might be getting two bills. It's for two reasons. Reason number 1 is from the beginning, the, the, the, the, the company that they decided to get solar from. They didn't even look at their bar graph in the bill, right? They just said, OK, this home is the size of of this home is whatever square foot, most likely they will need this amount of panels, and that's pretty much it. So they didn't really look at their usage. They just throw out a few panels, and that's pretty much it. Or a company actually did take a look at their usage. However, uh maybe they added an electric vehicle or their usage, you know, like they had people move into their home, so that was their usage increased. That's why if you recall in the consultation, I told you, hey, like right now this is gonna cover you in regards of your usage right now and that's why you're seeing a lot of savings. You've seen close to $100 every single month. But if you ever decide to get an electric vehicle, reach out to me because we will need to add panels, so you wouldn't be getting two bills from Edison and from solar. Uh, does that make sense in regards of why they got or why are they getting two bills at the moment?

And the reason that in regards of owning, cause I do understand like at the moment, you feel like, well, I don't want to have ownership or I don't want to feel like, OK, I, I, I'm responsible for anything at the moment. Maybe later down the line, it's something that I could consider. The beauty about the power purchase agreement maggot is after 5 years from now, if you decide that you want to have ownership on the system. This is an option that you could have. So you basically give me a call and you tell me Bhoi, I'm in a better position now. I, or not a better position, I want to have ownership at the moment in regards of uh owning the panels. send someone out, they do an appraise on the system based off market value in 5 years. So it's going to be obviously cheaper than how much the system is right now. Then they basically say, OK, Megan, this system right now costs X amount of dollars. Would you like to take ownership? He said yes, great. He said no, then you continue with the power purchase agreement. That's assuming if you would like to have ownership later down the line.

saving $100 a month, you, you like $1200 in the, in the whole year, you don't think that's enough savings at the moment.

The

prices with Edison is gonna get cheaper.

Edison

just raised 13% this year. Last year they increased 22.6%. It's, it's literally on their website. I can send you those links.

The 3

gopher.

You don't have to what sorry

Yeah, but,

but, but, by all means. I, again, I just, in, in regards of like savings uh you know, you can, I can send you the, a bunch of documents and I can also send, you know, you can go on Edison's website for the just the past two years, your bill has gone up by close to 35%. just the past two years. Um, by the end of, you know, from last year until the end of this year, you will be up by a 35%, with the 3.5% with solar if you know inflation is still affecting you, don't get me wrong, like you're not inflation proof, but, you know, it's, it's kind of like you compare, let's say you got solar 2 years ago with solar, you're, you know, your cost of electricity is going up by 7% compared to Southern California Edison where it went up by 35%. Inflation is affecting you. You're just in control of how much inflation is basically, you know, like affecting your cost of electricity. Does, does that make, do, do you get where I'm coming from?

weren't weren't able able to

they they they they get it

to

30

minutes

oh, I,

I, I, I completely get what you're coming again like cause I, I think, you know, I, I 100% see where you're coming from. Um, I will send you, again, by all means, I'll put everything on, on, in regard to like cancellation or hold for you. I'll send you information in regards of how much it has gone up, uh, literally, if you go on Chad GBT and you write Southern California Edison rate increase in the past 10 years. They're gonna tell you in the past 10 years, it increased about 83%. um for from 2022 to 2025. it went up by 25%. This is Chat GBT. I'm, I'm not like making up those numbers. If you type it, because I know you, you said I'm gonna put in everything on ChatGBT. If you literally go on a chat GBT right now while you and I are speaking, just type in Southern California Edison rate increase the past 10 years. That's all

No, I'm, I'm,, I, I again like I, I, I see where you're coming from because you're comparing your solar right now and compared to, well, I don't know what's happening with Southern California Edison, but the what I was telling you in regards of, you know, in regards to the rate increases with Southern California Edison, I wasn't making up numbers to, to make you feel like, oh, solar makes sense. Solar, inflation is affecting you, you know, it, it's sad because the, the, the, the world that we live in, we can't be inflation proof. However, in regards of like responsibility in regards of anything that has to do with the pan, you're covered with everything for 25 years. Panels, batteries, everything, right? You, the whole purpose of the power purchase agreement is your own, you're just, you just buy your electricity at a cheaper rate. And instead of you spending $270 on power and seeing your bill increased by a 13, 15%, 8%, and you have no control over it. You have to, you, you, you, you don't have a say, right? You, you don't have power over how much they're increasing with solar, you're saving $100 now, right? And then the, and instead of it being affecting you by literally, I can send you a screenshot right now of ChatGBT, um, and

instead of you

have no con yeah, and instead of you have

no control over

anything. It's

only

at a 3.5%.

What does it say?

frustrated

like

uh lower

or.

Oh, you, you would be surprised. I, I can help you, I can send you pictures of bills with Southern California Edison with CAR discount. Care discount, they give you about 25% in savings. So you,, your bill is not gonna, solar will still be cheaper than if you get your electricity with Southern California Edison, and you're under care.

Uh, uh, that's what I'm telling you, man, like I've been, I've been in, in the solar industry for the past like 6+ years. So I, I see where you're coming from, but in, in regards of like data and numbers. Southern California Edison will the, will never go down. They will never go down. I can, you know, I can send you documents from their website. I can send you documents from Chad GBT himself. You literally, I swear to God, literally said residential electricity rates increased about 83% over the past decade. That's what Southern California Edison. So it, I, I see where you're coming from that, obviously, and like the 25 years. This is how much I'm going to be spending with solar, but keep in mind, in 10 years, batteries, the battery itself will need to be replaced. The battery life is a 10-year, um the battery, it's a, it's like a foam battery. Batteries will typically last about 8 to 10 years, with a power purchase agreement, this is not something that you need to worry about because if it's covered under warranty, so if the pat whenever it's time for the battery to be changed, someone out, you know, I'll literally reach out to you, tell you, hey, you're, you know, someone who will be at your property. They need to change your battery. You get a brand new battery for you to last, you know, the next 10 years. So, you're basically agreeing that, hey, I want to have a new utility provider. I'm gonna save a lot on my power There's nothing that I could pay out of pocket. I'm covered under warranty for the next 25 years, and I'm saving a lot in compared to if I just stay with Southern California Edison. even even with with a a 3.5%, Because Because Because if you're solar at 170 Let me check

Very

good That's a

very, that's like the number one thing that we get asked, right? Solar right now, oh, that's, I was looking at the, yeah, solar right now, Megan, it's, it's so popular in California, like new builds, right now they need to come with solar, like any new structure that's coming up, it needs to come with solar. So when you're selling your property, right? When you're selling your home, if you decide to sell your home, your realtor is gonna be putting solar as a feature of your home, like your home, because it, it's, it's literally electricity. You know, you're, you're, you're just getting your power from solar. It doesn't put a lien on the house. There is nothing that you need to pay out of your pocket to get out of the house. It just gets transferred to them. So that

any

person that's going

into your property.

What is it, sorry?

they're and,

and they're usually like 6 panels or 77 panels or something like that. But the point that I'm trying to make is that the counties and cities, especially in California, they want everyone to go green. New builds, new structures. They have to come with sober. So when you're putting your home first for a sale if you decide to sell your property at any moment. It actually puts equity on your home because it's, you're, you have electricity, all this electricity for a much cheaper rate than whatever it is that you're gonna, you know, what the homeowner was gonna pay for Southern California Edison, they're going into a property they will know exactly how much they're going to pay for power from now on. So, you can Google it, you can chat GBT it. It will put equity on the property, not crazy equity, but it's actually it's a plus on the property that you have solar. It's not a negative. And every person that's going into your home, they, you know, that's looking to buy your home, your realtor is gonna put solar as one of the features. So every single person that's coming into the house, they already know that this home has solar. No one is gonna go into your property and be like, oh, this home is beautiful, but hey, it has hope.

Do you see where I'm coming from? It's like if you have a pool in your backyard or you don't have a pool, if I'm looking for a pool and your home doesn't have a pool, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna put an offer on your home.

Solar,

again

because

they didn't

have batteries. Yes.

But even with batteries, that's what I was telling you, like, even with batteries, you and

the first year, you're saving $1200 even when solar goes up that 3.5% and compared to Edison, if they go up, another, I'm not even gonna tell you 13%. This year they're going up 13%. But

let's

say next

year

they

go up 7%.

Your

what

is it,

sorry

7

to $10 the connection fee. And in regard, I'm just letting you know, Maggie, like if you have questions, the person that went out to your property,

they're, they're, they're not consulted. They just go out, they do the inspection, they don't have the knowledge in regards of anything. They just go, they measure, and that's pretty much it. In

regards of capacity,

be in regards of capacity, for the past year, you have been using about 9 kilowatt hours at nighttime. right?

That kept

the capacity for the battery is a 13.5. So, even if you decide to use a little bit extra power currently at nighttime, the battery will cover you. I, we give you more electricity during daytime, more electricity during nighttime. The only thing that I told you in regards to, yes, you will be getting a 2nd bill in regards to getting electricity from Edison. If you get an electric vehicle. So if you decide to get an electric vehicle, let me know beforehand. But it, until you get an electric vehicle, if you don't get an electric vehicle, you right now without the electric vehicle, you're seeing about $1200 a year. I don't

know, man, that's a lot of money

like.

OK. No, no problem at all. Um, you know, I, I, you know, every few months you, you'll see me like pop by. If you have any questions, we can, um, I'll, I'll even send you like a breakdown in regards of like your bill right now, how things would potentially look like in the next few years, if you decide to stay with Edison, how things would potentially look like. and compared to solar, and then you can compare it eye to eye.

Sounds

good

Awesome. Sounds good, Megan. Have a good rest of your day, man. Good

speaking

with you.

Hey, William.

How's it going, William? My name is Adam.

Good,

good. Hi, I'm

following up on a notice you should have received in the mail about the wildfires. I'm not sure if you get a chance to read about that one yet.

It's about a notice you should have received in the mail about the wildfires. Not sure if you're familiar with it, maybe seen it on the news at all?

Well, it's just about the wildfires that took place this past year. Essentially, the utility company

just sent out a letter that they're hiking up the rates again. Uh, by 20%, all that

really means is your power bill is gonna go up. But do you recall like how much you paid on your most recent power bill?

OK, gotcha. No worries. And I mean, as far as that goes, is that like the very highest that you pay or do you ever notice it go up a little bit more and like

Well, I mean, right with these rate increases, they're only starting to go up a little bit more, and the reason we're even reaching out is just because we're helping homeowners qualify for these newer government endorsed solar programs that are just made for you to eliminate your current power bill and just swap it out for a cheaper one as long as you can get approved for it, of course. Does that make

sense?

OK. I mean, but, but I am curious. I mean, had, had you ever looked into the solar in the past or like familiar with it at all?

Uh-huh

Well, the thing is,

it, it can be expensive depending on the programs you look into. Like

That could be expensive. These

programs are now just designed to help you eliminate

your

current power bill and swap it
