U.S. Solar – is about to Explode!

Solar is about to explode in the USA, what is your opportunity?

The emergence of solar energy as a major player in the energy market represents a significant and transformative opportunity in the United States.

While countries like Australia have seen a significant uptake in solar energy, the U.S. market has yet to experience this level of penetration, with less than 3% of the 90 million+ eligible homes currently utilizing this resource.
However, this is rapidly changing.
The U.S. solar market is at a similar stage to where Australia was approximately 15 years ago, poised for a significant growth spurt.

Several factors contribute to this imminent solar boom.

One of the key incentives driving solar adoption in the U.S. is the U.S. commitment to the 30% Solar Investment Tax Credit – in place till 2032.
This tax credit has enabled eligible homeowners to deduct 30% of the cost of installing a solar energy system from their federal taxes.
This provides a substantial incentive for homeowners to switch to solar, as it can significantly offset the initial investment required for solar installation OR even be cashflow positive from day 1, with 25-year payment plan options.

As the popularity of electric vehicles continues to grow, failing energy networks and the desire to be energy independent, the demand for clean, renewable energy sources is higher than ever before.

Electric vehicles require electricity for charging, and if this power can be generated from renewable sources like solar energy, it further reduces the carbon footprint of transportation.
With many states in the U.S. pushing for carbon neutrality, the adoption of electric vehicles and solar power are intrinsically linked.

Given the size of the U.S. market, the opportunity for growth and the implementation of solar systems is immense.

  • With a decade-long track record of success in the Australian market, our team is well-positioned to leverage our expertise and apply our proven strategies to this burgeoning market.
    We aim to establish fruitful partnerships, both within and outside of the U.S., to capitalize on this solar surge.
  • One of the unique aspects of this venture is that it not only caters to those directly involved in the solar industry, but it also presents networking and collaboration opportunities for businesses across various sectors.
    With the potential for recurring income based on involvement level, businesses can diversify their income streams while contributing to a sustainable future.
    It’s an opportunity to be part of an industry that’s not just profitable, but also environmentally responsible.
  • In essence, the upcoming solar explosion in the U.S. represents a multi-dimensional opportunity.
    It provides a chance to participate in a rapidly growing market, forge new business relationships, and promote sustainable practices, all while generating potential recurring income.

It’s worth discovering more about this opportunity (even if it doesn’t currently resonate with your interests). Many you know or meet will be interested; it’s such a great trust-builder when you can say: I know someone I think you’d really like to meet – I’ll set it up.

Business Power Tools

Dedicated Tools for Business Plans, Policies, and Procedures Are Essential

These elements are the backbone of a company’s operation, strategic planning, and overall direction. 

Far too many companies fail to achieve their objectives because they focus on acting without a plan.

As Benjamin Franklin famously said:

“By failing to plan, you are planning to fail.”

Planning provides a roadmap to guide your activities, whether that’s in business, personal life, or any other endeavour. It involves setting goals, determining the best way to achieve them, and identifying the resources needed. 

Without a plan, efforts can become disjointed, inefficient, complicating achieving desired results.

This can be achieved by building planning and procedures into their cultures and routine habits.

By using Business Power Tools, you can create a profitable business by providing these systems and processes to help any business achieve this.

“We don’t know what we don’t know!”

    6. Regulatory Compliance

    • Policies and procedures guide compliance, and having templates simplify their development, ensuring that legal and regulatory bases are covered.

    7. Employee Training 

    • Clear, concise policies and procedures are essential for effective employee onboarding and training. 
    • Tools can help standardize these documents, making them easier to understand and follow.

    8. Scalability 

    • As businesses grow, their plans, policies, and procedures often need to adapt. 
    • Tools can simplify the process of updating these documents, facilitating business scaling and evolution.

    9. Accountability

    • Collaborative planning system enables everyone to contribute ideas, inspiring engagement.
    • Policies and procedures clearly outline what is expected of employees and what they can expect from the company, creating a sense of accountability.

    10. Business Valuation & Succession 

    • When selling a business, having an in-depth business plan and clear policies/procedures in place can increase its valuation, demonstrating that the company is well-organized and professionally managed.
    • Succession – Everything your kids / new owners need to successfully continue what you started.

    Your Online Meetings

    Why not use a better online meetings platform that actually pays you?

    Online meetings have become such an essential part of our business life.

    There are many different platforms – Zoom, Teams, Google, etc.

    There’s a new kid on the block!

    You can now tailor your experience to make it far easier to subtly create interest in your products and services during your online meetings.

    The providers of this new platform are offering great deals, and they are keen to get known and adopted – fast.

    To do this, they provide great incentives to use their platform.

    As you hold your online meetings on this new platform,

    Your participants will usually ask you: What’s this platform? It looks good.

    This allows you to say a few words (easy as they have asked you) and encourage your participant(s) to click the button to Join (you) for a free version.

    The free version is a no-brainer. Then upgrading just makes sense.

    You will likely have an increasing number of online meetings, so learning the benefits of making a simple switch makes sense (as you can see from the following short video).

    That will enable to not only to have more effective meetings but also to develop an additional ongoing revenue stream.

    Even if you are totally entrenched in your current platform (such as Zoom), and you don’t feel you have the bandwidth to swap, this is something you need to know about – it will be a great tool and side hustle for many joining your CC team.

    Your Side Hustle

    Do you have an idea for a Side Hustle?

    Let’s say you don’t! This could be because you already have a business that already absorbs 110% of your time.

    Regardless, it’s worth taking the time to check out Side Hustles, provided by CC members.

    Why?

    • We don’t know what we don’t know!
    • Checking out what others are doing may give you ideas you can use.
    • You may be able to support other CC members in their endeavours – and build all-important trust in the process!
    • Most importantly, you are likely to come across many people who are desperately looking for more than their current employment provides (you may be doing them a huge favour by introducing them to CC members willing to offer them a side-hustle opportunity).
    • You may be able to engage with other Side Hustles that will not only support your idea but will also help you earn additional income while supporting other CC members.
      • For example, there are some great tools that will greatly enhance your network-building activities, which can also be income-generating. In other words, extra income for very little extra effort.

    On the other hand, you may be excited about a business idea you are itching to launch!

    • It’s great that you are building your network – we are great believers in “network first, ideas second”
