Produced by a team of experienced solar industry and media professionals, “Clean Energy News: Buying a Solar Electric System” educates prospective customers on the nuts and bolts of buying a PV system. And for the salesperson, rather than spending precious time answering the same questions over and over, this video provides a highly targeted tool that touches on all the key questions - from pricing and economics, to design considerations and technology. The DVD takes into account financial incentives, system performance, installation details and environmental benefits in order to best answer the homeowner’s questions and guide PV sales.

Interview with Rhone Resch, Executive Director, Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA)

With creative footage of PV installations and insightful interviews with industry experts, public utility commissioners and satisfied homeowners, the DVD will reduce the transaction costs that a PV company faces when working to close a sale. As co-producer and long-time industry PV sales manager Richard Eidlin explains, "The idea for the video came about after reflecting on how much time is spent answering the same thoughtful, but still the same basic, questions on a one-off basis by PV companies. There had to be a more effective way for these companies to handle customer queries beyond creating FAQs to educate them." The video, written and produced by the company's founder, Dave Bowden, "is a valuable tool for PV companies who can now hand a copy of the DVD over to their prospective customer," Eidlin says.

The video demystifies how solar technology works for the average homeowner, offers practical examples, and explains the economic and environmental benefits that distinguish PV from conventional fossil fuel-based power systems. The result is a far better educated customer whose questions become focused and, therefore, further qualified to buy a PV system.
