Program description:
When discussing solar with both experienced and new-to-industry professionals we see trepidation around the technology. Our goal:

• Educate on the basics of solar water pumping as it differs from on-grid, and how a driller/installer can maximize revenue while in the field. Discuss what rates of flow are now available and how panels have evolved to improve the business case.
• Once in the field, discuss effective setup parallel to drilling operation, shop prep vs. field prep, startup practices, and handling failed equipment.
• Discuss how to educate THEIR customer on expectations from a solar installation to help level set to ensure success.
• Discuss how Federal/State Tax credits are positively impacting business cases, and what resources are available to use this credit to their advantage.
• Finish on the future: What's coming and how they can be at the forefront.
