At its core, a patent is a legal right that gives inventors the ability to make, use, import and sell an invention for a set period of time. In the solar world, that means a mounting innovation like a clamp or bracket can be protected—so the people who put in the work and expense to design and develop it can achieve the fruits of their efforts and keep improving it.

At Enstall, training isn't just an add-on. It's a core part of how we support installers—and build better products. Solar installation is a skilled trade. It demands knowledge, precision, and the right tools for the job. 

Earlier this week, the Senate Finance Committee released its version of the budget reconciliation bill. While not identical to the House version, the Senate bill still significantly scales back or eliminates key solar incentives, directly threatening installers, manufacturers, and homeowners who rely on these programs every day.

At Enstall, we don’t start with technology. We start with the installer. Every tool we build—whether it’s a calculator, a training module, or an inspection app—begins with one question: What will make this job easier for the person on the roof?

In the world of clean energy, “bankability” is more than a buzzword—it’s the foundation on which the solar industry is built. For a solar project to move forward, banks and investors must believe it can deliver consistent returns, minimize risk, and last for decades. That belief is shaped by many factors: proven technology, reliable partners, solid contracts, and full legal compliance.

At Enstall, we know the power of showing up—on the roof and in policy. There’s still time to change course. The Senate can fix what the House has broken, but that will only happen if they hear from people who do this work every day.
