This Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for the tools that give both homeowners and businesses more flexibility, more leverage, and more opportunity

The TPO companies that win the next decade will be the ones that productize incentives — not manually calculate them. Integrate location, equipment, and financing data now, and you unlock the full federal value of every project.

Instead of paying monthly and missing out on deductions, Nucleus lets you invest once, activate instantly, and deduct immediately — turning your tech stack into a tangible business asset.  It’s not a loophole — it’s a lift-off. 🚀  When innovation meets deduction, growth takes flight. 

The renewable energy sector is at an inflection point. Supply chain fragility and workforce shortages remain real barriers — but they’re not immovable. With Nucleus, teams are embracing full lifecycle design, digital visibility, and data-driven workforce enablement to move faster, smarter, and more efficiently. 

In 2026, HELOCs are back — no bedazzled jeans required.  The process is faster, smarter, and actually benefits homeowners who want to invest in their spaces or spruce up to sell. And thanks to platforms like Nucleus, contractors can match that momentum — delivering instant, dynamic proposals that make solar, roofing, and HVAC projects as smooth as an early-2000s R&B hook.  So whether you’re upgrading your roof, your AC, or just your vibe — it’s time to Pop, Drop, and HELOC’

Rules-based automation is redefining how solar companies operate: fewer manual steps, more consistency, and complete visibility across every team. Automation isn’t a “nice-to-have” It’s the foundation for the next generation of solar growth — and Nucleus is the framework built to power it. 

The next era of solar growth won’t be defined by another fraction of a percent in module efficiency. It’ll be defined by how intelligently companies deliver projects. 

TPO isn’t a trend—it’s the future of residential solar. By 2026, every company will be operating under the same financing structure, competing on efficiency, service quality, and customer experience. The companies that thrive won’t be the ones clinging to disconnected tools; they’ll be the ones that unify their workflows, scale across services, and deliver seamless experiences at every stage.   

It’s time to stop treating hand-offs as hurdles. With Nucleus, sales and project delivery aren’t two separate processes — they’re part of the same connected journey.  Learn more at www.nucleus.solar 

Disconnected systems may be the norm, but they don’t have to be your reality. The fix isn’t another patchwork integration — it’s adopting a platform where communication, contact relationships, and project management live together. Because when your systems talk, your business grows.

Nucleus was built differently. From the ground up, we engineered solar-specific workflows, automations, and integrations that meet the industry’s unique demands. And as your business grows, Nucleus scales with you — strengthening your processes, not breaking them. 

CRM was supposed to simplify communication. Somewhere along the way, it became just another chore.  That’s why we built Nucleus — a CRM engineered not with communication in mind, but built in. 

The tools you use are either compounding value or compounding cost. Disconnection is friction. Friction kills growth. Nucleus was built to eliminate the Silo Tax — and replace it with control, clarity, and connected execution.

Because your business doesn’t run on records — it runs on communication. Nucleus is a CRM that understands how you actually work.

The industry is evolving fast — and the “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB) is accelerating that evolution. One of the biggest shifts? The rise of third-party ownership (TPO).

Your solar business shouldn’t be held back by systems that communicate poorly. Nucleus reduces friction at every step — helping you close faster, deliver on time, and scale with confidence.
