Training, coaching, and facilitation

Designed to immediately get your solar company in the driver's seat, so you can sell and support battery-based systems.


Avoid falling behind and installing systems that aren’t optimal for your customer. Instead, you can be the next innovative firm specializing in successfully assessing, designing, commissioning, and supporting battery-based systems. Let’s get started!

WHY COACHING FROM NASH RENEWABLES? 

Our solutions are backed by 15 years of experience and award-winning designs.

Your sales staff need to be solution sellers, planning and designing systems that meet the unique power requirements of your customers. My coaching services cover it all to ensure that your journey into battery based technologies is on a good foundation to ensure your success.

Have you ever noticed that all of the off-grid training programs are written and facilitated by people that don't live off grid? It's sort of like having a bricklayer teach you about gardening. You don't learn the right things.

My name is Brian Nash and I live off grid. I built my off-grid home in 2007. I am the founder of Haliburton Solar and Wind, a North American award-winning Alternative Energy business specializing in battery based Technologies now under new ownership. I teach renewable technologies through the Ontario Association of Architects and I have worked with the brightest and the best in the industry.

I provide coaching services to solar businesses in Canada that are interested in entering the battery based market. My coaching components focus on the most critical aspects of planning an off-grid power system.

Don't make the same mistake that so many others have; thinking that selling battery-based systems is similar to selling grid tied solar. It's not.


Battery based Power Systems require a consultative collaborative sales process. The discovery phase is the most critical and it encompasses everything from sunmetrics, understanding load, surge, duty cycles, simultaneous run watts, load sharing, lifestyle and future expansion based on liifestyle changes. Your customer will become their own utility and as such you need to understand their needs very well. How comfortable will they be interacting with the system? Do they want the system to be fully automatic and completely intuitive or are they capable of monitoring the system planning loads and being accommodative with lifestyle choices in order to reduce costs. What are the equipment choices, battery chemistries, inverter modes and commissioning parameters that can accommodate a range of budgets while maintaining similar system capabilities?
