One of the most critical components of the CHERP delivery model is a network of top-quality solar installers in close proximity to each CHERP Solar Alliance Factory.  In order for the local markets surrounding each factory to install their CHERP Solar Systems, we need reliable, professional local installers in each community to complete the installation process.

 

So, CHERP created our CHERP Solar Installer Program™.  We select the top tier of local solar installers, each with industry expertise that is required by the market.  For instance, some of our Installer Partners specialize in residential solar installations, others focus on commercial buildings, while others are experts in community solar projects.  Depending on the needs and scale in each community, CHERP will build an appropriate group of installers.

 

CHERP offers a comprehensive service for our customers in which we develop a project proposal for each customer in collaboration with the installer that is the best fit for their project.

 

Our in-house team of solar experts, combined with the expertise from the Installer Partners, gives our customers a strong, professional solar proposal team to work with throughout the process.

 

CHERP will manage the vetting of Installer Partners in each community as we build out our factory network.  We will focus on existing work these installers have completed and the types of projects they specialize in, plus the certifications and warranties they offer.  We will provide all the requisite information about our installer partners so our customers and the factory owners can do their own due diligence.  We will also provide a formal agreement between CHERP (and by lineage, each factory) and the Installer Partners.  These agreements focus on quality of workmanship, warranties, non-competition, non-circumvention and non-disclosure between all parties. That way, we guarantee that everyone who works with CHERP comes out satisfied.

 

We train the Installer’s team in selling, project development, and installation procedures for AMPS and Emporia Energy. The Installer Partners can select the remainder of the equipment after the solar panels and batteries, based on their expertise, experience and equipment choices.  We only mandate AMPS panels and Emporia Battery systems.

​

The relationship between installers and CHERP Solar Alliance Factory owners is a key benefit for the factory network.  Having those local installers as the go-between for customers provides a valuable network for each factory owner.
