Thrive Sales Walkthrough

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Thrive offers competitive PPA financing for solar installations with no qualification required. Thrive financing is only available for addresses located in California. To get Thrive financing integrated for your organization, please contact your account manager. Follow the steps below to start financing proposals with Thrive.

Step 1: Sign in with your username and password.

Step 2: Click "New Customer" in the top right-hand corner to create a new lead.

Step 3: Input the customer’s address and basic information. The address can be added manually by clicking on the “Manual Address” checkbox. Select the job type and assign it to a user by clicking “Assign To”. Fill out setter and lead source details, as well as other information. Click “Create customer” in the top-right corner of the page.

Step 4: You have now created a proposal card. Click "View Detail" to begin generating a design and pricing.

Step 5: Click the “Utility” drop-down box in the Consumption profile section. Select the correct utility company. All of the data for that utility is being pulled in real-time to ensure accurate utility rates.

Step 6: Scroll down to enter the client's kWh usage. You can opt to either enter the monthly or annual usage by switching the toggle. The predictive AI will also generate an assumed consumption amount based on the address entered.

Likewise, if you only have a few months of data available, the software will attempt to auto-fill the other months' data.

Step 7: Click “Start Design”.

Step 8: Most homes will be able to utilize the AI-Assisted design tool. Identify the correct home, align it with the tool’s crosshair and click "Run AI Design".

Step 9: Click on the modules that you want to include in the design. You will notice the system size, offset, and production all change in real-time.

Update Electric Bill pricing and Annual Usage that suit your customer’s needs.

You can select the type of panel that goes into the system alongside the design.

Step 10: Click “Save”.

Step 11: Your AI-Assisted Design is ready with system size details. You can even add an inverter to your design.

Step 12: Scroll down and turn on the battery toggle to add batteries to your proposal.

Step 13: Choose if you would like to quote a backup battery OR a grid-tied battery here.

Step 14: Add as many rooms or appliances as your customer needs to back up. Select the room or appliance to increase or decrease the quantity. The battery recommendation algorithm will calculate how many batteries the customer needs to back up the added rooms or appliances and increase or decrease the number accordingly.

Select the desired battery for the project. Keep in mind that a 1.7X battery-to-solar ratio in CA and a 1.5X battery-to-solar ratio in Puerto Rico is required. This will ensure the customer has enough battery reservoir to offset "on-peak" and evening consumption.

Step 15: If you require additional equipment for your quote, scroll down to the “Add-on” section. This section is optional. Click “Choose Adders”.

Step 16: Select the adders and click “Done”.

Step 17: You can add a down payment amount before selecting your finance options.

Step 18: Scroll down and click "Create Account" to begin the Thrive financing process.

Step 19: Select your Thrive PPA pricing and click “Create Quote”.

Step 20: The quote will be automatically qualified. Click “Finalize”.

Step 21: Click “Send Contract Docs”.

Step 22: Click “Yes”.

Step 23: The finance contract will be sent to the sales rep’s inbox first. Click “Review & Sign Document” to proceed.

Step 24: Review the contract and click “Submit.”

Step 25: The contract will be sent to the customer’s inbox next. Click “Review & Sign Document” to proceed.

Step 26: Click “Start”.

Step 27: Click “Sign” where indicated on the document.

Step 28: Click “Adopt and Sign”.

Step 29: Click “Initial” where indicated on the document.

Step 30: Click “Adopt and Sign”.

Step 31: After completing the signing process, click “Submit”.

Step 32: You can check the status of the finance document signing in the “E-Signature Activity” tab in your proposal.

Step 33: The “Contract Signed” status will also reflect on the finance card.

Note: If your customer’s financing application for any other lease financing (e.g LightReach or any other lease) is declined, a pop-up offering Thrive financing will appear.
