For years, financial institutions, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunstonecredit.com\/\">Sunstone Credit<\/a>, a commercial lending platform that helps businesses switch to distributed energy, have trusted HelioScope\u2019s production estimates in their underwriting processes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cWe love when solar installers use HelioScope to estimate the production of a system,\u201d said Duncan Hinkle, Chief Commercial Officer at Sunstone Credit. \u201cIf we know HelioScope generated the production estimate and optimized the system size, we\u2019ll basically accept the output in our analysis of the system&#8217;s performance \u2014 no questions asked.\u201d<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solar installer <a href=\"https:\/\/solargain.com\/\">SolarGain<\/a> added, \u201cHelioScope gives us confidence in our design accuracy without the hours of engineering work other solutions require,\u201d said Robert Neifert, Director of Business Development, SolarGain. \u201cWorking with lenders like Sunstone that trust HelioScope&#8217;s production estimates makes the financing approval process smoother and faster.\u201d<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial solar business owner Hector M. Burruel of <a href=\"https:\/\/chuchoproduce.com\/\">Chucho Produce<\/a> agrees: \u201cWorking with SolarGain and Sunstone Credit was a seamless experience from start to finish. Everyone was transparent, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us make the switch to solar. We\u2019re thrilled about the clean energy our system is generating, and even more excited about the long-term savings on our utility bills.
