This week, another "big" solar company files bankruptcy!!! Freedom Forever...not so forever.
Here's why so many have gone under and what YOU need to understand if you are considering the option of creating your own energy instead of renting it for life.
1. Companies who don't innovate, will fail...period!!
2. Old brick and mortar business model...doesn't work for solar. Solar has become too competitive and high expenses, means higher costs and higher prices. Big inventory, a fleet of trucks, salaried installers, salaried sales reps, high commissions....DOES NOT WORK.
3. A national business MUST innovate and de-centralize. It must cut costs and have strong finances with NO DEBT. It must have moral leadership with integrity and clarity and a BIG vision for growth.
POWUR PBC was ridiculed 11 years ago at the start and many people in the industry just laughed at them, said they would never make it. Through industry, supply, and regulatory challenges POWUR didn't just SURVIVE, they EXCELLED. Well.... POWUR PBC is now the Uber of solar. They are the AirBnB of hotels. They implemented a decentralized, digital platform based business model that works!!! Other big companies like Titan thought they could copy POWUR and failed miserably. Why? Because they did not build the infrastructure and the vision from ground up. They took an existing old model, put lipstick on it, didn't change the solar-bro mentality and thought a new compensation plan was all they needed... wrong again.. Freedom, held on to the brick and mortar model, promoted a solar-bro attack on sales model and again...failed like the rest. Who's left??? SunRun.....with more debt than they can pay interest on...RED flag... Some other business bought them but why??? They are still running an old business model.. Tesla...lol..c'mon really? Their batteries are amazing!! As far as installing solar...they HAVE NEVER MADE A DIME IN PROFITS SINCE ELEN BAILED THEM OUT. No thanks. You want to give a broke company more money to waste like the US Government does with your TAXES???
I've been a loyal Powur rep since 2020. As an engineer, business owner, marketor, Trainer and finance professional...I seen the vision from day one and Jonathan Budd, Powers CEO was THE EXACT type of leader the industry was starving for!
