You know the drill.
You Rush
Cut corners you'd never cut if you had proper time.
Install You're Not Proud Of
Because the schedule doesn't allow for pride.
You Get Blamed
Sales company and customer both point at you when things go wrong.
Here's How Source Energy Group Started:
Sales companies pump volume over quality
Installers get rushed and burned out
Customers end up with systems that underperform
Three people in the energy sector — with more than 20 years of combined experience — got sick of watching the same pattern destroy good installers. They'd seen every corner of the industry. Every shortcut. Every way companies screw installers to hit quarterly numbers. So they built something different. Not a sales company that subcontracts installs. Not a fast-growth operation optimised for volume. A company built around how solar installation SHOULD work: quality over quantity. Fair pay for quality work. Consistent work without the chaos.
The One-Per-Day Quality Standard
Here's our radical idea: What if we only scheduled one installation per crew, per day? Not two. Not three if you're "fast." One.
