Now is time for exponential growth” held in San Francisco on Solar Leaders TV Stage at Intersolar North America 2017; the following visionaries: Tony Seba (a serial Silicon Valley entrepreneur, and an instructor in Entrepreneurship, Disruption and Clean Energy at Stanford), Eckhart Gouras, JD., Managing Director of pv magazine group. They discuss the unstoppable exponential growth of solar, and how it will replace the electric utility monopoly empire, which could quite possibly create the biggest transfer of wealth the planet has ever seen. “For solar, for batteries…we are on the cusp of the most transformative disruption in history since the industrial revolution”, Tony Seba (11:55). Based on Seba's analysis, we believe their will be a disruption which will create opportunities similar in nature to the California Gold Rush in the mid 1800's.
[7] Solar Direct and its predecessor entity has been operational for over 32 years giving long term business acumen in the solar industry; due to the imposing tipping point in which the market may disrupt and possibly explode based on Tony Seba’s research, Solar Direct has created a business model innovation “Solar-to-Scale” which is a possible ground floor opportunity.
[8] You can also help to control your own ROI by simple passive or active involvement. Investors receive a free limited Solar Leader Membership in the Solar Buyers Club (SBC) as a perk. Passive involvement, promoting SBC to friends and family, can result in additional income from referrals and also bonus funds from SBC Leaders within your affiliate network. Also see [9] and [10].

[10] This unique option provides the opportunity to earn back a portion or all of the invested cash or more, while keeping your equity stake. In other words, any funds earned from referrals and/or bonuses in the SBC could indirectly offset the funds used to purchase investment units. “Simply signing up as a Solar Buyers Club Leader will not guarantee you any success. Like everything else in life, the path to success requires hard work, discipline, passionate persistence, time management, creativity and a razor blade focus on where you want to go if you ever want to succeed. Not every Club Leader will make money and/or a profit. Your success will depend on you and how much you put into it”. http://lotg.solarbuyers.club/Compensation-Plan/?mitem=28244 Investment Units will not be directly affected by SBC earnings or lack thereof; units purchased remain the property of the owner regardless of involvement or non-involvement in the SBC option. You can effectively improve your ROI of the funds used to purchase Investment Units by offsetting the purchase cost with funds earned via the SBC. Earning subject to income taxation; seek advice from your accountant.

[12] The majority of consumers who purchase solar use a "solar loan". Many solar contractors and marketers would have consumers think that the loan payment will be less than the electric bill, but this most often is not the case. A typical system size is 10kW, and based on research by this third-party industry leader Energy-Sage, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the average installed price is $31,571; after 30% Federal Tax Credit, the loan amount is $22,100. A typical system saves $150.25 per month according to the government site PVWatts. Based on Dividend Solar, a national solar lender, the payment for this sample system would be $151.83 per month (at 4.99APR; rates and payment amounts will vary based on credit score and other factors, so the monthly payment can vary - some consumers will have savings below the utility bill and others may pay more). https://www.energysage.com/solar/financing/solar-loans The amount you want to pay each month will impact the interest rate and the length of the loan. Loans with longer terms will have smaller monthly payments, but you will pay more in interest over the life of the loan. In contrast, payments on solar energy loans with shorter terms may exceed your monthly utility bill savings, but they offer a better value because you pay less in interest over the life of the loan.
