Did you know that more than 185,000 solar customers in the US have been abandoned by their installers? How will we take care of these “Orphaned” solar systems? Is this a golden opportunity or fool’s gold?

Nick Sherman sees opportunity where most see chaos. As CEO of Energy Aid, he’s building a national brand in solar service—scaling faster than any of his installer-focused peers. While others race for new installs, Nick is scooping up orphaned systems and building trust with a unique(to this industry at least) membership model.

"If you've got their membership, you've got their home." – Nick Sherman

He’s betting the future of residential solar is about service, not installs—and it’s working, marvelously.

Expect to learn:

🔹 The $9/month model that could change how homeowners buy all-things-electrification
🔹 How Energy Aid scaled by acquiring bankrupt installer customer data
🔹 Why orphaned systems are a hidden goldmine in the solar market
🔹 The HVAC-inspired model Nick is applying to clean energy

This is more than a startup story—it’s a blueprint for unlocking overlooked value in clean energy. If you’re trying to stand out in a crowded market or future-proof your solar business, Nick’s strategy will challenge how you think about growth, service, and sustainability. Don’t sleep on this one.
