Cash Isn't Dead with Ravi Mikkelsen

Ravi Mikkelsen of Atmos Financial examines why cash and loan purchases remain vital in residential solar despite the expired tax credit. The discussion covers FEOC equipment pricing gaps, predatory lease buyout structures, dealer fee commissions, and door-to-door sales practices that inflate costs. Mikkelsen advocates for tax credit elimination, pricing transparency, and reaching a $2 per watt national benchmark for residential installations.   Topics Covered Cash vs Financing Solar Tax Credits Lease Buyout Traps Dealer Fee Commissions Door-to-Door Sales Pricing Transparency Atmos Financial $2/Watt Benchmark Tariffs and Equipment Costs International Solar Pricing FEOC = Foreign Entity of Concern                                                                    NEM = Net Energy Metering VPP = Virtual Power Plant TPO = Third-Party Ownership Reach out to Ravi Mikkelsen here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ravimikkelsen Website: www.joinatmos.com Email: ravi@joinatmos.com Previous podcast with Ravi Mikkelsen Apple Podcast YouTube Spotify Pandora Podbean   Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean’s classes at www.heatspring.com/sean www.solarsean.com/pvts
