• Bright Ops Best Practices - 

  • Approved Utility Bills - Approved utility bills continue to be a leading cause of delayed projects. Please make sure to always include a full, clear UB as early on the process as possible to avoid any unnecessary delays. For context, projects are installed 8 days sooner, on average, when an approved utility bill is provided upfront.

  • *For more best practice information, please refer to our "Project Progression Best Practices" page located HERE on our Partner Site.

MARKET UPDATES

• Solar Only Rate Caps in IL -

  • As we mentioned in the July Partner Update; with recent NEM changes in IL and to better align with our finance partners pricing policies overall, we introduced rate caps effective 8/1/24.

    • The finance portals will let you know if you've exceeded a rate cap as the caps are dependent on a few factors.

      • We are seeing a lot of traction with Sunrun, specifically their new battery pricing, and recommend leading with this option in IL as we are seeing Higher EPCs and more value to the customer.

  • For a quick refresher on our offerings by market, please refer to our "Financiers and Batteries by Market" page located HERE on our Partner Site.
