We are a solar company which perform work in the areas of installation, servicing and maintenance. We install not only roof and ground mount solar panel, but also critter guards. We service solar system when it stops performing for home owners through third parties, such as “Home Advisor”, “Contractor.com” and many more. Our partners (solar companies) subcontract their solar installation and operations to us while they focus on sales and marketing. We recently expanded our company by partnering with solar companies to finance our customers. Prior we were performing cash deals only with limited number of clients able to pay in full for their solar systems. We are looking to expand our business to commercial base as we feel that’s where the solar industry is going. http://www.teamsunxsolar.com
