  • THE MIDAS TOUCH AND SOLAR BUSINESS

    EASY MONEY VS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND NEEDS In an ancient Greek myth, King Midas was granted the power to turn everything he touched into gold. Initially, the Midas Touch was seen as a gift, but it quickly became a curse, as he couldn't even eat or drink without turning everything into gold. Similarly, the solar energy market was once seen as a gold rush for companies focused on short-term profits, but it has now become a curse for those who only focus on profits and neglect customer satisfaction and needs . Many companies entered the solar energy market looking for a quick and easy way to make money, disregarding the needs of their customers and only rushing to take advantage of the growing demand for renewable energy sources. At the same time, their products and, on a larger scale, services related to these often did not meet customer expectations . This approach has only led to the dissatisfaction of many consumers , causing a consequent loss of trust and loyalty. It has helped critics of climate change , such as some oil and electricity companies, to gain social notoriety and influence. They have used misinformation to make climate change targets harder to achieve , and this has only made it harder for the renewable energy market to succeed. To combat this, we must understand that the true gift of the King Midas Touch is not the ability to turn everything to gold but rather the pursuit of sustainability throughout the world.

  • THE MCNAMARA FALLACY

    HOW TO AVOID FAILING TO ADAPT TO CHANGING CONSUMER DEMANDS USING OUR INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC The McNamara Fallacy is a cognitive bias that occurs when trying to make sense of the data collected to make decisions. In this case, the data refers to personal beliefs and values and is an easy way to get caught up in analysis paralysis. The fallacy is named after Robert McNamara, the US Secretary of Defense during the Kennedy administration. Mr. McNamara was an early adopter of a self-ideology, believing that handling some numerical statistics was enough to win the Vietnam War. Companies like Kodak, Blockbuster, and Blackberry suffered from the same bias. Kodak, the former leader in photography, did not see the switch to digital photography and instead relied on metrics from its film business, leading to its eventual bankruptcy. Blockbuster, the video rental giant, also didn't see the move to online streaming, relying instead on its brick-and-mortar stores. Blackberry, the once-dominant of smartphones, did not prevent the switch to touchscreen phones, relying instead on its physical keyboard devices. In all of these cases, companies relied too heavily on the metrics and data from their current business models and failed to see the most important trends and changes in the market. They were blinded by their success and failed to adapt to changing consumer demands. This is where our Integration Coefficient IC model comes into play, and we have concluded that the main thing is to transform the business mentality. In this sense, the IC model emphasizes that instead of being tied to the past, we change our strategies as follows: Rethinking the approach to customers , from understanding them as passive targets to dynamic networks that will make our business grow. Rethinking the way we define the blurred boundaries of competitors and partners . Understanding data differently and its role in the organization since data has gone from an operational tool to a strategic asset for value creation. Thinking differently about innovation and how to manage risk by running rapid experiments that allow us to fail smarter and cheaper and explore many more opportunities for growth. Thinking differently about the value we offer our customers. We must be aware of the shift towards renewable energy and the increasing demand for solar energy systems . The IC model helps to avoid being too focused on the revenue data collected and instead continually assess the market regarding consumer satisfaction and how to streamline supply chains , which allows us to adjust our strategies and adapt accordingly and more easily to changes in the industry , remain competitive and avoid such biases. Your trust demonstrated by subscribing will light our way! We are ready to integrate solutions that maximize your results. Thank you in advance for choosing us!

  • SOLAR DIGITAL COLLABORATIVE ECONOMY

    CREATING AN EQUITABLE SOLAR MARKET THROUGH INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC Sharing economy companies like Uber and Airbnb have revolutionized how we think about traditional business models. They have ushered in a new era of convenience and accessibility for the masses. Similarly, selling hybrid and on-grid solar kits to homeowners through our Integration Coefficient IC model is a perfect example of a Solar Digital Collaborative Economy . The Integration Coefficient IC model allows solar kit installers, the most immediate channel to end customers, to access international factory prices by grouping and purchasing, every one separately, smaller volumes of solar kits . By doing so, they can purchase them in container volumes, from world-renowned factories of Tier 1 solar panels, the best inverters, LIFEPO4 batteries, and mounting racks, with a unified local guarantee , and then we manage our digital communication ecosystems enabling this interaction between end users and installers, similar to how Uber connects car drivers with passengers through its App. In a traditional solar system business model, end users rely on several, different, larger, or specialized corporations that often establish monopolies and make warranties difficult to apply for. This has resulted in higher prices, limited choices, company losses, personnel lay-off, and then a lack of customer satisfaction. When the market adopts the Integration Coefficient IC model, end users have access to a wider range of high-end products at much lower prices, and solar kit installers benefit from higher sales volumes, allowing them to grow their businesses. Not only does this model empower end users by making renewable energy solutions more accessible, but it also allows installers to have the opportunity to compete with larger, more established companies creating a more equitable market where smaller businesses and end users can thrive . The success of this model relies on the willingness of installers to work together and ends users being open to dealing with smaller, but certified, local installers rather than relying solely on larger corporations. By promoting the benefits of this collaborative model and educating customers on the advantages of our Integration Coefficient IC model , we can create a more sustainable future while also promoting economic growth and stability . In summary, selling solar kits using the IC model is a perfect example of a sharing economy business tendency like Uber and Airbnb. By allowing installers to access international factory prices and letting end users work with local installers they may trust, we seek to promote a more equitable and sustainable market. With the IC model, we can push forward towards a greener, more sustainable future. Please subscribe to our website to belong to our list of end customers and solar installers to keep promoting this Digital Collaborative Business Economy.

  • INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC SOLUTIONS VS HIGH TARIFFS

    THE WELSH NOT HISTORY The Welsh Not History: From the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, the Welsh school system under English command punished those children who were detected speaking Welsh, since the language imposed and permitted was English. The punishment consisted of placing a wooden sign with the letters WN (No to the Welsh language), at the chest height of the child to be humiliated or punished. Although most nations are working to increase the use of renewable energy such as solar and promote global sustainability agreements, some still impose very high tariffs (a WN sign) when importing solar panels , which makes solar adoption much more expensive. The highest tariffs apply to products from countries that can produce them more efficiently and at competitive prices. This can limit the availability of affordable technology in countries and communities seeking to adopt renewable energy and reduce their carbon footprint, and result in a "plug one hole by another" effect, in which solutions offered to consumers , are neither efficient nor profitable in the long term, decreasing the possibility to achieve sustainability more quickly. All unnatural, tax, retaliatory, and punitive policies generate distortions, inefficiencies, costs, reparations, injustice, and decreases. Trading authorities should look for decisions that make business fluid and "natural". Adopting open, transparent, and inclusive trade policies will reduce the costs of solar energy systems, the deployment of this technology, and the creation of employment in the sector. Trade policies should reduce or eliminate tariffs on solar products, which act as a hidden tax for end consumers. Tariffs range, on average, between 2.2% applied to solar cells and 10% for panels with much bigger percentages in the U.S. Tariff reduction initiatives should be complemented with measures to remove the broader technological, economic, and regulatory obstacles that hinder the deployment of solar technology in countries that are least efficient at manufacturing them. This is where you can enjoy the benefits of our Integration Coefficient IC solutions vs High Tariffs . By integrating factories to create and offer solar kits to installers and reaping the benefits of reduced HS codes, some penalties (same as the "WN" sign) imposed by countries trying to “protect” their manufacturers can be avoided. This can help speed up the adoption of solar power and other renewable energy systems by making solutions more accessible. Rather than forcing inadequate solutions on the customer, as in the case of the "Welsh Not", the IC model can provide a more efficient and sustainable solution for the renewable energy supply chain. The Integration Coefficient IC guides every step we take. Together, we can build a sustainable and efficient solar business model. Let's talk .

  • SOLAR TRADE AND A BRIGHT ENERGY FUTURE

    THE CHALLENGE? FURTHER DIVERSIFICATION OF SUPPLY CHAINS A report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), entitled " Solar Trade and a Bright Energy Future: Arguments in favor of an open and quality solar photovoltaic market " published in 2021 already "outlined" our Integration Coefficient IC concept. IRENA explained: “ Looking at the graph that is the subject of this publication, the rapid deployment of solar energy has given rise to a strong increase in installed capacity. Between 2005 and 2018, cumulative installed solar power capacity increased 100 times to 480 GW, thanks in large part to the emergence of a globally integrated supply chain. During the same period, the global installed capacity of renewable energy multiplied by 2.5. According to projections, the installed capacity of solar energy will continue to grow and it will reach 5,200 GW in 2030 and 14,000 GW in 2050, which would represent 43% of the total installed power generation capacity. Already in 2018, the installed capacity of solar energy increased by 100 GW, that is, at a faster rate than the combined capacity of power generation from fossil fuels and nuclear energy technologies ”. Then IRENA indicated, almost paraphrasing our IC concept: “ The globalization of the solar energy market has been one of the main factors that have led to the decrease in its price. This is partly explained by the fact that the emergence of globally integrated solar value chains has enabled manufacturers of solar equipment to source goods and services from the most competitive suppliers in terms of cost, quality, skills, materials, and other location-related advantages. In addition, the integrated global market for solar equipment has expanded opportunities for solar companies to realize significant economies of scale and learn by doing, and has stimulated competition and increased incentives to invest in research and development ”. They concluded: “ Looking forward further diversification of solar energy supply chains may be necessary to improve their long-term resilience to external shocks. The current dynamic driving policymakers to consider how to “build back better” offers a unique opportunity to adopt policies that facilitate trade and stimulate diversification by integrating new players into value chains. Trade policies can also accelerate the cross-border diffusion of high-quality, affordable solar energy technologies and get them from where they are produced to where they are needed. In this way, the competitiveness of solar energy in all countries could be promoted, which would contribute to strengthening the transition towards sustainable energy systems and guaranteeing the jobs associated with it ”. Our Integration Coefficient IC is designed under these premises not only at the factory level but also integrating the supply chain in the process to help improve these projections. Let's talk about collaboration to boost all these initiatives! We are here to support your business goals.

  • BUILDERS BECOMING SOLAR LANDLORDS

    THE NEW SOLAR SMART BUSINESS TENDENCY The world is becoming more aware of the need for sustainability and respect for the environment and the construction sector is no exception being now a fundamental part of the supply chain when it comes to promoting solar energy . By building houses with solar kits included, constructors can sell directly to customers then then builders becoming solar landlords. In addition, builders do not need to hire external labor, draftsmen, or electricians as they are on their standard payroll and they will have very good prices for electrical items and solar kits as we have innovated the supply chain. Builders are also very used to city permits and unifying the solar solution with kits per project and making all the houses in the neighborhood uniform regarding solar energy, it will be very easy to get the solar kits cheaper with faster delivery and they also can use their own staff for warranty issues at no additional cost and more when taking advantage of our unmatched unified guarantee . Including solar in built homes will make it easier and faster for builders to rent or sell, which will improve their business profit and ROI, not only benefiting the environment but also saving homeowners money on their electricity bills . The Integration Coefficient IC model promotes the fusion of various international factories with the local supply chain, facilitating a complete and money-saving solution for the end user. In the solar case, builders can include solar panels and associated technology in the houses during the building process. By doing so, they can ensure that homes are energy efficient from the beginning and deeply reduce customer dependency on traditional fossil energy sources . Several countries have made it mandatory for new houses to come with solar panels pre-installed. In California, all buildings built after 2020 must have solar panels pre-installed. New York is following suit, with a mandate that all new homes also come with solar panels installed by 2025. Other states, such as Hawaii, have set ambitious goals including a mandate to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2045. In Italy, in January 2017, Thermal Account 2.0 was approved, which requires the installation of renewable energy, such as solar, in all new buildings, and Spain, the goal of achieving 100% renewable electricity by 2050 has been set, implementing various policies and incentives to promote it. By building homes with solar kits included, builders will help promote solar energy use and sustainability . Additionally, by integrating solar power into homes, builders can differentiate themselves from the competition in the marketplace. In the end, the Integration Coefficient IC model adds irresistible benefits. Thank you in advance for contacting us to be your energy partner.

  • POSSIBILITY, CONNECTION, AND HAPPINESS

    CUSTOMER'S FEELINGS AFTER GOING SOLAR WITH THE INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC This is an inspirational example of how homebuilders incorporate solar to generate customers' feelings of Possibility, Connection, and Happiness. Grow Community Washington Seattle is a neighborhood on Bainbridge Island, Washington in the U.S. With beautifully designed On-Grid or Hybrid solar-powered homes, shared community gardens, and clean transportation options, "Grow Community" allows all generations to enjoy a high-quality and healthy lifestyle. Possibility: The neighborhood was designed with sustainability and healthy living as its guiding ideals, showing the way toward a positive future for the community and the planet. Connection: The idea of this place was to make people live in a truly intergenerational community where connections are valued and relationships nourished. Taking advantage of the sun using solar systems , shared gardens, and inviting green spaces unite neighbors, uniting them with the environment. Happiness: To change life values by experiencing a new way to enjoy the surrounding environment, simpler and more satisfying, mindful of your impact on the earth as you focus your time on those things in your life that matter most to you. The Solar Kits based on our Integration Coefficient IC model are oriented to promote the increment of this kind of communities around the world making builders promote solar in a natural, affordable, and profitable way. Also, many other advantages arise: Increase Homes Sale Price and Profit: Adding Solar to homes may result in higher home-sales prices, and more using our Solar Energy Kits . Sell Homes Faster and Easier: Solar homes sell up to 20% faster than their conventional counterparts. Meet a Growing Demand: Customers increasingly recognize that solar offers monthly energy savings, is good for the environment, and is a wise investment decision. Attract More Customers: Customers believe in savings when going Solar . Energy efficiency and low operating costs are the two top of the first five influences in a new-home purchase decision. Furthermore, lashing panels to roofs during construction is usually about 20% cheaper than after a house is built. And even up to 60% cheaper using our Solar Kits . So, although house prices may increase when solar-powered, the increment is much lower using our solutions in a more efficient supply chain, causing a low impact on the buyer's mortgage payments. That’s similar to how some buyers decided to pay $5,000 or $10,000 for a kitchen countertop manufactured with natural materials and would outlast a Formica-style top. Homeowners embed it into their home mortgage and when they receive the utility electricity bills they’re cash-flow positive from month one. Welcome to the new energy model! We invite you to join our mission of integrating sustainability and efficiency through the Integration Coefficient IC Business Model .

  • MOST BUILDERS OFFERING SOLAR

    INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC IMPROVING SUPPLY CHAINS Solar energy has been gaining popularity incrementally due to its sustainability and cost-effectiveness. One of the main driving forces behind this is the Integration Coefficient IC model, making it easier for supply chains to offer solar energy solutions and incorporating most builders as natural offerings of solar today. This has led to an increase in the number of homes being built with solar energy already included in the design. In the U.S., solar energy adoption has steadily increased over the years. In 2021, it was reported that over 2 million homes in the US had solar panels installed, and was expected to double by 2023. Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of new homes being built with solar energy already included in the design, with California leading the way. Spain and Italy have also seen an increase in the number of new homes built with solar energy. In Spain, it was reported that in 2020, more than 80% of new homes were built with solar energy included. In Italy, the government has introduced incentives for new buildings with solar energy already included in the design, leading to a significant increase in adoption. In Latin America, there has been a growing interest in solar energy, but adoption has been slower compared to other regions but a high potential growth is expected. However, countries like Mexico, Brazil, and, recently, Colombia, have been taking steps to promote solar adoption, and the number of builders offering homes with pre-installed solar energy, has increased significantly. Let us insist: the Integration Coefficient IC model has made it easier for supply chains to offer solar energy solutions to homebuilders . When homebuilders promote solar on-grid , in-grid , or hybrid kits, they can provide cost-effective and sustainable energy solutions to potential customers. This has led to an increase in the number of homes being built with solar energy already included, making it more accessible to a wider range of people. One of the major obstacles that the Integration Coefficient IC model has helped overcome is the perception that solar energy is too expensive or hard to install. By making it easier for supply chains to offer solar energy solutions , the Integration Coefficient IC model has made it more accessible to homebuilders and their customers. This has also led to a decrease in the cost of solar energy, making it a more cost-effective option for homeowners. In conclusion, the IC model has played a significant role in increasing the adoption of solar energy in homes worldwide. While adoption in Latin America has been slower compared to other regions, there is a growing interest in solar energy, making this trend unstoppable for the coming years.

  • INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC DEBATE

    A POSITIVE FORCE FOR CHANGE IN THE BUSINESS WORLD? In recent years, the term “wokeism” has become popular and controversial on social media, referring to a heightened awareness of social justice issues and a desire to take action to address them. However, one noticeable factor in the current political alignment of tech entrepreneurs and their employees is that wealthy individuals and institutions are often more willing to invest in token goods, and awakened ideology as "a greener world" emphasizing rhetoric about equality and justice. At the same time, the major technology companies have been extremely profitable and that, in turn, makes that positioning possible. In parallel, the higher profitability of a major technology company is typically not based on ownership of unique physical assets, but rather on the ability of its workers to turn ideas into products or solutions and create value and drive disruption . Exactly as our Integration IC business model ideas promote. While some may see it as a positive force for change, others see and take advantage of it as a divisive ideology promoting more on pointing out false virtue concepts than actual sustainability progress. That is the Integration Coefficient IC debate . Although we are not in politics, this topic allows us to explain that the Integration Coefficient IC model can be "confusedly seen" as a form of "wokeism" because it promotes sustainability and social responsibility in business practices. By fostering collaboration and transparency in the supply chain, they aim to minimize waste, reduce environmental impact , and improve overall efficiency. The implementation of the IC model, although, we stress it has nothing to do with politics, may face resistance from stakeholders who prioritize short-term gains over long-term sustainability and also from those that in some way try to falsely identify "going green" with a sort of woke movemen t , being this assessment also part of this debate. Implementing the IC may also create resistance when it requires significant investment in technology and infrastructure to integrate positively the different players in the supply chain. Despite these challenges, nobody can deny the potential and also already proven benefits of the Integration Coefficient IC model which promotes sustainable practices and minimizes waste, creating a more equitable and resilient economy for future generations. By harnessing the power of digital communication and supply chain intelligence, the IC transforms dramatically how we think about business and social responsibility. To summarize, whether the Integration Coefficient IC model can overcome barriers to adoption and become a positive force for change in the business world will depend on the willingness of stakeholders to prioritize sustainability over short-term gains. But if successful, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about business and sustainability and create a fairer and more equitable future for all. Welcome aboard! Your subscription will trigger an exciting and vigorous adventure towards achieving energy efficiency and sustainability.

  • GALILEO STORY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

    INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC VS MISINFORMATION “And it still moves.” One of the most famous phrases attributed to the renowned scientist Galileo Galilei. The “it” in the quote refers to planet Earth. And “still moves” was a striking denial of the notion adopted by the Catholic Church at the time. Galileo Galilei's phrase is a story of the fight for truth against the forces of dogma. In the early 17th century, Galileo, an Italian astronomer, and physicist, challenged the widespread belief that the Earth was the center of the universe and that all celestial objects revolved around it. This, at that time, controversial theory contradicted the teachings of the Catholic Church, which held that the Earth was flat and immobile. Galileo's ideas were seen as a threat to the Church's authority, and he was accused of heresy and put on trial by the Inquisition. The similarities between Galileo's story and current movements against climate change and renewable energy are striking. To this day, some still refuse to accept the evidence shown by scientific research and, instead, cling to outdated beliefs and promote a large misinformation campaign. Just as the Church refused to accept Galileo's evidence, climate change and the benefits of renewable energy sources are still denied despite evidence and research supporting climate change and the need for sustainable energy. The reality is that renewable energies, such as solar, are increasingly cost-competitive against traditional energy sources, and the benefits of investing in clean energy are clear. Not only does it help reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change , it also creates new jobs and stimulates economic growth and sustainability. This is where the Integration Coefficient IC can play a crucial role in promoting sustainability and combating these movements. By providing a digital communication ecosystem and a unified guarantee, supply chain intelligence, top global providers, and quality assurance , the Integration Coefficient IC helps disseminate accurate information about renewable energy and its benefits and promotes the removal or reduction of the impact of trade barriers imposed by some countries against renewable energy products simply because they cannot compete on price and quality , just as the Church tried to suppress Galileo's findings. The Integration Coefficient IC helps overcome these trade barriers by promoting innovative solutions (like solar kits ), improving the efficiency of supply chains that leverage economies of scale and reduce costs, and making renewable energy solutions more accessible to all. In conclusion, just as Galileo's theories were finally accepted by the Church and the rest of the world today, we must continue to promote and support renewable energy sources to combat climate change and guarantee a sustainable future. The Integration Coefficient IC plays a crucial role in this effort. In our organization, when integrating your needs with our solutions we create the impact the world needs.

  • ASIAN EPC ADVANTAGES

    USING OUR INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC MODEL There are some advantages to using Asian EPC to build solar farms globally, but ultimately there are several factors and context-specific issues to consider. One of the Asian EPC advantages is their extensive experience in building solar plants internationally as they can provide cost-effective solutions due to their economies of scale. Their access to advanced technology and equipment is undeniable, enabling faster and more efficient projects. However, there are also potential drawbacks. Some language and cultural barriers may affect communication and coordination with local stakeholders, including government agencies, suppliers, and sub-contractors. . Also, regulatory and compliance issues may arise that need to be carefully addressed, including local laws and regulations, labor practices, and environmental requirements. To overcome these drawbacks, several large Asian solar companies have established subsidiaries or joint ventures in other regions, working with local EPCs. In some cases, these subsidiaries may even acquire or merge with local EPCs to gain a foothold in the market and expand their capabilities. But there is a better approach. Working with an international integrator through the Integration Coefficient IC model, who has experience in contexts in Asia and other regions, can provide a valuable resource that can bridge those gaps and ensure effective communication and coordination between all parties involved in the project. In addition, the Integration Coefficient IC model can help navigate regulatory and compliance issues by providing expertise in local laws and regulations, labor practices, and environmental requirements. This can help ensure the project complies with all relevant standards and minimize potential legal and financial risks. Also, the Integration Coefficient IC model can help address the logistical challenges associated with purchasing materials and equipment from multiple vendors with different warranty terms and shipping requirements. The integrator can work with Asian EPCs to ensure that all materials and equipment are sourced and shipped efficiently and effectively, with clear documentation, unified guarantee , and quality control processes in place. It is worth noting that the choice between using a local EPC or an Asian EPC depends only on the cost and although it is a significant factor in any business decision, it is not the only one. Other factors, such as quality, experience, and project management using the Integration Coefficient IC , can also influence the decision to choose an Asian EPC instead of a local one, obtaining double the advantages with the best cost/benefit ratio . Your decision to join our network will be your first step towards transformative change. Thank you for taking the time to trust us .

  • IS THE SOLAR BUSINESS AT RISK OF BECOMING A DEAD HORSE?

    INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC MODEL OFFERS A NEW PATH FOR SOLAR BUSINESS. Is the Solar Business at Risk of Becoming a Dead Horse? The solar industry is at a pivotal moment. While the solar business promises a sustainable future, persistent problems in the supply chain and outdated business models risk turning it into a "Dead Horse." Are we unknowingly riding an unsustainable system, or can we pivot toward innovation and collaboration to secure the future of solar energy? The solar business has long been associated with the system's components rather than delivering holistic, long-term solutions and promoting sustainability . This focus creates inefficiencies that undermine sustainability and user satisfaction. Here are the main reasons: Fragmented Supply Chains: Costly delays and vulnerabilities from over-reliance on global suppliers. Misaligned Solutions: Products that fail to address real user needs. Short-Term Focus: Prioritizing sales over sustainability and customer satisfaction. This outdated model risks turning the solar business into a Dead Horse, an endeavor that is no longer viable but continues due to inertia. These challenges undermine the industry’s sustainability goals and long-term success. Avoiding the Concorde fallacy: Just as we talk about the “Dead Horse Theory,” the famous “Concorde fallacy” also applies, as we have described before in other posts, although from a different point of view. This involves continuing to invest in an inefficient model because they have incurred large previous expenses. Solar energy companies should focus on future, user-focused solutions instead of patching obsolete systems. Are we creating value or justifying past mistakes? The Integration Coefficient IC Model: Inspired by disruptors like Uber, the IC model offers a new path for solar businesses: Integrated Supply Chains: Locate the best target market segment (installers) and streamline the acquisition of the right solutions to reduce costs and delays. Solar energy becomes on demand directly from local installers: Who take advantage of the possibility of dealing with large international suppliers, just as Uber brings drivers closer to passengers without intermediaries. Customer-Centric Solutions: Provide complete energy services, from installation to maintenance. Collaboration Economies: Partner with government entities, tech innovators, and local players close to the end consumers in the supply chain to build unified networks. Sustainability and ROI: Maximize efficiency across all processes for better outcomes.
