eScout Energy Connector Portal
The Micro-Grid User Journey - We Call eScout
Unless you have been living on another planet, you will know that today's mobile applications are extraordinary to say the least. We are building an open Advanced Programming Interface (API) that will make these even more open source. The Journey starts by downloading our mobile app from your app, or scanning a QR code on a box at retail. No, this is not something that we charge for, it is free! Once you sign up and watch some training videos, you are ready to audit your site. If your site needs development work like structural reinforcement, this tool brings those resources to the table.
As soon as you start the E-Scout connector wizard, your dashboard starts lighting up. We assign a remote Project Manager who helps you in your renewable energy journey. These helping hands are here to see that the plan is executed properly while ensuring that your chances of a successful installation are high. Regardless of whether you are a DIY type, or you need some helping hands, we bring everything to your fingertips. As the site development process matures, documents are packaged in your private portal where we can work together to finalize equipment and installation costs. When the package is ready, you can reach out to multiple lending institutions that compete for your business. Here is an overview of what we have inside: (Q4 - 2021 Release 1.0).
