Wu-Tang had it right when they noted that Cash Rules Everything Around Me because the ability to move a project forward almost always comes down to the money.  Whether the project is grant funded, self funded, financed, or free money makes the EE world turn.  At SJVCEO we believe understanding how to fund, finance or maximize incentives is integral to building an active and aware customer base, and in order to support that we’ve got just about everything one would need to understanding the money side of energy. 

From our curated WFH series, to #GotGrants, to our long-running series, Fund-it Fast Chats we have all the tips, tools, and information you need to get your project paid for!

Philosophically I believe money tends to work itself out.  Nearly fifteen years in energy efficiency and I still think that, but I also believe things fall apart when it’s not well understood.  In order to be better practitioners of energy efficiency we have to be able to simply articulate how a project will be paid for, where the money goes, and how it’s a worthwhile investment.  We can’t expect customers to just move though life like Ms. Grande and grabbing up every TLED or heat pump hot water heater their heart desires.
