Powur, PBC

Powur was recently recognized again on the Inc 5000 list in 2023 for the 4th consecutive year as the fastest growing National solar company in the United States. In an industry that is consolidating the Powur platform model provides an abundance of “social proof” of the value that we are providing homeowners, the personal development that is ingrained in our culture, and the life changing career path of our industry changing model. 

The Powur platform is the career path for entrepreneurs that want to live and play at the highest level via a dynamic career development pathway and revenue share model created for entrepreneurs to essentially own their own online solar company with no capital investment.

With over eight years of experience and over $15,000,000 invested, Powur is changing the solar industry.

I am seeking socially conscious entrepreneurs, top solar and sales professionals, and those that are currently calling on homeowners - ie roofers, HVAC, real estate, home security …..that want to provide homeowners the greatest value and the very best experience as they transition to clean energy.

Our model supports that experience while our industry changing platform offers the highest commissions in the industry, team overrides, finance rebates, and stock options. 

The model is working with hundreds of top solar and sales professionals joining our platform every month driving record sales and industry changing commissions. 

Our platform allows you to work anywhere you want, when you want, and with the support you need to fulfill your projects with industry leading quality and speed.

Powur's model gives you complete transparency of the cost of every solar project and the opportunity to keep the lionshare of net revenue. As we continue to drive down our cost of goods, Powur Consultants and Customers can win even bigger.

Our hope is to have a $1 billion IPO that can be life changing for our top performers.

Solar Gain

WHAT I DO: I empower Californians to save money on their cost of electricity.

HOW I DO IT: I provide each of my customers with a tailored solar power system that meets their unique needs with the lowest cost of ownership over that system’s lifetime.

WHO I WORK WITH: I work with both businesses, non-profits, and homeowners across the United States, primarily focused in California.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: Since 2006, my top priority has and will always be my customers. I pursue their needs, goals, and interests above all else, and my process is specifically designed to deliver a hassle-free, enjoyable and affordable solar power experience.

HOW IT WORKS: I provide a smooth, comprehensive process for those looking to harness the clean energy of solar power.
Step 1 - Energy Evaluation and System Proposal
Step 2 - Design and Installation of Solar Panels
Step 3 - Commissioning/Flip the Switch

WHAT OTHERS SAY:
🗣 "Your team delivered as promised and the system is functioning as good or better than estimates. Workmanship for the installation of the system was neat and tidy. I couldn’t be happier with the team! Great job guys!"
— David G

🗣 "Just got my solar system installed. Was very impressed with the professionalism of the employees. Francisco was there every step of the way! He made the process run smoothly. The process was simple, as they handled everything from helping to secure the loan, design, permits, inspections and install. The project was completed earlier than had been promised. Jacob expertly handled the internet connection and setting up the portal! Very impressed with the company and its employees!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!"

Renew Financial

🏦 WHAT I DO: I equip contractors with unique financing that allows them to provide better service to their clients and increase their total sale volume.

👷 WHO I WORK WITH:  Home improvement contractors who provide efficiency and clean energy products including: 
• Cool Roofs
• Heating and Cooling
• Windows and Doors
• Insulation and Air Sealing
• Solar Panels
• ...and more

💵 WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT:  Many homeowners want to improve their homes, but cannot afford the upfront costs of doing the job right. Enter Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing, a government approved, low-cost, financing solution pioneered by Renew Financial. With PACE, homeowners get 100% upfront funding that they repay on their property taxes for up to 30 years. PACE gives homeowners options to reduce their utility bills that exist nowhere else. 

✅ HOW IT WORKS: 
#1 Estimate: Homeowner contacts a registered contractor to get an estimate.
#2 Apply: Apply for PACE financing online or by phone.
#3 Sign: Complete and sign financing documents.
#4 Install: Registered contractor complete efficiency upgrades.
#5 Repay: Pay back the financing annually on property taxes.

🌎 MAKING THE WORLD BETTER: In its first 10 years, PACE helped more than 150,000 families upgrade their homes and created an estimated 30,000 jobs. PACE saved more than 10 billion gallons of water and reduced carbon emissions by more than 4 million metric tons. To date, no other energy and water financing solution in America has achieved similar results. 

🗣 WHAT OTHERS SAY: 
“By utilizing PACE, local governments are able to remove many barriers to renewable energy and energy efficiency retrofits, such as high upfront costs associated with buying and installing systems. As a result, property owners reduce water and energy costs, which benefits local communities, and the upgrades ultimately save them money on their energy bills."

RGS Energy

💸 WHAT I DO: I equip and coach a team of home solar representatives and marketing professionals who provide lower cost and cleaner electricity than the local utility. 

☀️ HOW I DO IT: Going solar locks in a fixed electric rate and reduces the cost of the electricity you buy each month. Most RGS Energy customers pay about 20% less than they were paying their old electric company for traditional power.

🏡 WHO I WORK WITH: RGS Energy offers full-service solar panel installation and financing to 10 U.S. states.
• California
• Colorado
• Connecticut
• Hawaii
• Massachusetts
• New Hampshire
• New Jersey
• New York
• Rhode Island
• Vermont

🔆 WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT:  In 1979 RGS Energy, a Real Goods Solar Company, sold some of the very first solar panels to the public out of a small general store in Northern California. 

Notable Customers:
• Aetna Insurance
• CBS
• Disney
• NASA
• Timex
• Yale University
• U.S. Navy
• and more than 25,000 homeowners 

✅ HOW IT WORKS: 
1 - Solar panels collect energy from the sun and convert it into DC power.
2 - The DC power from the solar panels is sent to a solar inverter, where it is converted into AC power for use in your home.
3 - AC power travels from the solar inverter to your electrical breaker box. 
4 - The utility meter measures your electrical supply. When your solar energy system produces more power than you need, the meter literally spins backward as that power is sent to the grid for others to use. Your next utility bill is credited for the power you’ve added to the grid.

WHAT OTHERS SAY: 
🗣 “Tom is a professional in all senses of the word. His knowledge and expertise have made him one of the leading experts on solar and renewable energy in the Central California area. I am so happy to have worked with him as well as call him a friend.”
~ Barry Falke, Executive Director, American Red Cross

🔆 WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT: We take a consultative approach and educate homeowners about all of their options for buying electricity.

Here’s a straightforward technique to turn that objection around, and it has nothing to do with emailing proposals, price lists, or product information.

That’s old school

Instead, try this 👇

When your prospect hits you with the “Send me a proposal” line, start by agreeing with them (Yes, you heard that right.): “Yes, Larry, that’s not a problem...”

Then say, “Larry, what were you... hoping to see from the proposal?

I want to make sure I understand exactly what you need.”

And just like that, you’ve cracked open the door to their concerns.
Now you can tackle their real objection instead of shadowboxing with smoke and mirrors.

From there, it’s all about handling whatever comes next.
