My apologies for the delay in writing. Ah the fun of fund-raising…
We’ve been busy over here. Let me outline what we’ve done:
- Released the RoofRay Widget. We had many people from bloggers to installers asking for a version of the drawing application. So we created Version 1 of the RoofRay Widget. Version one is a simple 3-Step Drawing | Costs & Savings | Free Quote application. As you’ll see we’re also excited that SunPower Corp is sponsoring the widget. We’ll be releasing an “Installer” version soon that contains no 3rd party ads and all leads go to them. More info to come…
- Simplified Navigation: The UI was, well lets say a bit kludgy. We simplified it into a 4 Step Process with “Draw Solar Array | Current Electricity Costs | Financial Analysis | Free Quote. What we think is better in this version is first of all – the simpler flow, but we’ve also moved some of the reports to the left-side navigation under “More Reports”. We think this is cleaner and allows us to add more reports without muddying up the flow. We’ve also moved the Utility Rates to the same left-side under “Assumptions”. So if you want to check and/or change them you can.
- Solar Guide: We added a nice Solar 101 page that outlines how solar PV works.
Other News
We continue to get some pretty great write-ups from Earth2Tech and others. RoofRay had the cool opportunity of being featured on CNBC’s “Powering the Planet” on Oct 6th. Here’s a URL to the vid.
