Scenario: This opp has the option to place panels on both the house and the detached shed. Where would we prioritize placing panels first based on the layout below? 👇
What is:
The shed (Still prioritizing southern exposure, in this case, the shed is preferred with lots of room on the SE roof face and minimal shading)

When working on an opp with multiple meters, what needs to be done in SalesForce?
What is:
Check "Electrical Upgrade" box under System Add Ons and communicate to EC in SF chatter.

True or False:
We can install this ground mount system.
What is:
False, ground mount systems are 4 rows high (no more/no less).
300
For a ground mount system with Alliant, if a system will produce at either 88% or 108% (since we can’t reduce panels by just one), which option would we go with?
What is: 108% (and report at 98%)

Can we install this layout on a detached structure (MN)?
What is:
Yes, we can ignore setbacks on detached structures!

What is:
Yes, adjust your proposed trenching path to be as accurate as possible.

True or False:
In the event that there are two meters on a duplex, we do a meter consolidation.
What is:
False

How should the one-line look for Xcel Solar Rewards?
What is:
The one-line should reflect:
Net Meter --> AC Disco --> PV Disco --> Combiner

True or False:
The customer has already trenched to connect the detached structure, so no trenching is needed.
What is: False (trenching always)
