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 serves as 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 homeowners questions and guide PV sales.

With creative footage of PV installations and insightful interviews with industry experts, public utility commissioners and satisfied homeowners, the video reduces the transaction costs that a PV company faces when working to close a sale. As producer Dave Bowden explains, "The idea for the video came about after hearing from solar installers how much time is spent answering the same basic customer questions. There had to be a more effective way for these companies to handle customer queries beyond creating fact sheets to educate them." The video, says Bowden, "is a valuable tool for PV companies who can now hand a copy of the DVD over to their prospective customer."

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.
