Customer acquisition is supported by content marketing (46+ blog entries), social media presence across Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, WhatsApp, and Tumblr, and email communications.

The customer base is predominantly residential homeowners in Maryland and Pennsylvania seeking to reduce electricity costs, gain energy independence, and access federal (30% tax credit) and state incentives ($1,000 Maryland residential rebate, up to $30,000 commercial rebate, BGE battery rebates of $500-$1,500). A smaller commercial segment includes offices, churches, and other small businesses using roof-mounted, ground-mounted, or canopy systems.
