I am sure by now most of you have heard that Brevard Solar went out of business and left about 250 of their customers hanging. I was with Brevard Solar for five years and didn't see this coming. Just plain old poor financial management and closed office on MLK Jr. Day in January. The electrical sub that had worked with Brevard Solar for about eight years lost a TON of money as well as a lot of clients. He is still stepping up to the plate to "make things right" with the customers and we will do our best to do just that. We don't want Brevard Solar to soil the word "solar" as their are about 1200 system out there already and they are quality work and the clients are very happy with them. The people that just have rail on their homes now are NOT so very happy! The electrical sub is whom I am working for now, and we are going back and trying to get the Brevard Solar clients finished up for a reasonable price. I have spoken to a few of the jurisdictions and they are all very understanding and are helping us as best they can in regard to existing permits. We will be changing contractors with those clients that wish to move forward with us and still have the same quality work that Brevard Solar provided for eight years and over 1200 homes. My questions are: 1. Do we just need a "change of contractor form" along with the new NOC? 2. May we use copies of the, plans, I didn't remove any original permits since they were not my property. Any that were in Voltage Pro's names were taken out by me, only because they belonged to Voltage Pro's. We have scanned copies of many of them, we are hoping that the files we recovered (computer) will suffice and we can print them on 11x17 paper so the drawings can be read. Right now they are in the computer all as 8 1/2 x 1111 as that was the only scanner I had access to at Brevard Solar. 3. We will be doing these changes individually since we don't know who all is going to move forward with us. Some have moved on with other companies and just paid the heavier price to get it over with. We understand. It is going to be some lean times coming up and any help from the jurisdictions to keep their residents happy helps us as well. We are going to be working on a tight budget to get this fixed and hope to be able to write it off as "marketing" and move on with new photovoltaic solar contracts in the future. I have met most of you on my visits all over the state over the years and can honestly say everyone has been extremely helpful in the past. I hope we can continue this good relationship now that I am on board with Voltage Pro's trying to clean up the mess that Brevard Solar left behind. If you can please send me exactly what will be needed for the change of contractor, I would be most appreciative. So far it has been a change of contractor form, new NOC and a letter from Voltage Pro's stating that Brevard Solar is gone and we will be taking over the permit number (listing permit number and address etc.). 2
