Tune in to SunCast's podcast to learn how Pearl Certification supports solar contractors from Cynthia Adams, CEO and co-founder of Pearl.
In this SunCast Media podcast, Cynthia Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of Pearl Certification, discusses the major themes surrounding her company, such as the challenges and lessons learned in building and scaling Pearl Certification, strategies to make high-performing home features like solar and energy efficiency more valuable in the real estate market, and her vision for accelerating the transition to sustainable living. The conversation is a rich blend of business insights, personal backstory, and forward-thinking ideas that underline Cynthia's leadership in the cleantech industry. She explains that Pearl changes the game for your value as a contractor. When you are accepted into the elite Pearl Contractor Network, homeowners can see the value you bring to the job — and stop focusing solely on price. Pearl provides third-party validation of your quality, helping you shift the conversation from price to value.
Homeowners understand that solar will cut their utility bills, but what they don't understand is that solar can add value to their home. As a Pearl Network Contractor, your customers will receive a third-party certification of your work quantifying the value you add to the home. In fact, Pearl Certified homes can sell for 5.5% more on average when properly marketed, according to independent appraiser studies.
Selling solar has never been easier with the Pearl Solar Equity Calculator®. Available exclusively to Pearl Network Contractors, Pearl's calculator is the industry’s first tool to calculate discounted cash flow using certified contractor data, NREL software to calculate solar production numbers, and an API to Freddie Mac’s 30-year mortgage rate.
The Solar Badge is a certification that calls attention to solar panels, solar installations and their warranties if the home is pre-wired for these high-performing assets or already has them installed.
