The solar industry is often filled with companies focused on quick sales and minimum standards, but Brad Ott and Luke McKenzie from Velocity Solar take a refreshingly different approach. After 15 years in the business, Brad has built a reputation based on education, quality, and exceptional after-sales service. This episode explores: 

• Educating both customers and employees to ensure informed decisions and quality installations
• Prioritizing proper system sizing based on individual needs rather than pushing larger systems for profit 
• Conducting mandatory site inspections for all installations to ensure appropriate design and avoid future issues 
• Providing exceptional after-sales service with annual system checks and proactive maintenance 
• Working with quality manufacturers and products they would install on their own homes 
• Advises that batteries now make financial sense as electricity costs rise and feed-in tariffs drop 
• Offers expertise in off-grid solutions with a focus on reliability and long term performance
• Recommends sizing systems for future needs like EVs, heat pumps, and increased household consumption 
• Uses a holistic approach focusing on self-consumption rather than feed in tariffs for maximum financial benefit
