Miscellaneous Office Equipment - Market Outlook / Competition
- Illinois is considered a top-tier growth market for solar development due to the strong demand, state SREC incentive policy (Illinois Shines), and strong utility rebates. Our position in the marketplace is well diversified with the recent launch of our sister company which yields specialized pipeline revenue. The foundation of the operation is transparent, detail oriented, and customer focused. A large percentage of revenue is referral based, and almost zero advertising spend.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Continued expansion of services for 3rd party systems, such as repairs/maintenance, solar and storage expansions, and accessories.
Continued expansion of Illinois Shines Approved Vendor services for 3rd party systems for filing incentives through niche program channels (stranded customers, restitution program, and SREC adder programs).
Expansion of staff would likely be a small installation/service team and administration to build on the recent market expansion.
