“As part of our commitment to providing the best solution to solar professionals across the U.S., we’re excited to be rolling out this important capability in partnership with precigeo,” said Clean Power Finance CEO and President, Joseph Brakohiapa. “The integration of precigeo into the CPF Tools web-based platform is the latest in a series of powerful enhancements designed to reduce the cost of customer acquisition.”

Roy Clausen, precigeo Solar VP and a 9-year photovoltaic industry installation and sales veteran, observes that “precigeo reports are a natural extension to CPF Tools. CPF has done a great job of simplifying both the installation of solar and the preparation of a bid. With our reports they will make accessing critical information to complete the plan easy as well.”
