of across supporting the caught. in the opportunities one I of what’s pursuing paths the there’s would values and short term So lot are the board a of all we’re customer is say in those. happening that each creation the

So values, you lower you look where are lower. also creation are there know, the markets so at costs customer if

economies the with So of worth costs customers $XX,XXX on us, one each and XXX value these almost that’s upcoming that. here our so with to there’s an attractive with customers – support our

to is and in we and year there pressure not discussed ones. of you we with said but know are sort costs as market throughout modest this, You expect of we unprecedented creation know so also have would labor know there big what improvement you you going the there’s while, a see

significant board. the So we’re and the slight to are short reduce and term, to project improvement, in those strong very values is, But MPV going on that the costs in tighten see I expect I you short wouldn’t a the bullish are we summarize run. the would the and opportunity but way across really know improvement

Moses Sutton

the of the on Yeah, Anything don’t seem helpful. just more lease relates, provide prior metrics size but there, kilowatts. there know the quarters if one also in I that’s you thought to are comments can range are I Maybe you X.X about system very average were $X.XX that was value usually of calculation. any be – $X.XX this of, in on renewal your watt, per based they mix. there, the different

Lynn Jurich

and system it, are size. some that take markets have growing I’ll system to are Got tend the we There newer the larger of do size.

use we a that be Texas, a air would are conditioning houses in, than people market know one that in you is of California. So bigger have where which based lot and

size think improved. going I mix – So the the penetrate you like the starts as in as to see that to markets you’re

more, the you better I always more we’re at yield know more think project. attractive is larger profitable getting and size also, systems finding customer generally

to the achieve So refining are well. model our that as we customers also,

know know there quarter-to-quarter. would just the variations you On I is say renewal, you

book have XX We you also contract value some year were exclusively XX in whereas know places, introduced years.

Let I’ll answer me, both.

So that lot there do the earlier. we there’s business area recognize fast for In in a with know we pressure which said year the know number on ending our because you of you in it, Bob are that direct pleased expenses is. puts as some growth

time our believe we in opportunity Over there improve is an to even core business. is which that,

So the prices It opportunities help, with ride commentary do I’d do utility does about my in to also that we talked know that. certainly really continue increases. to you CapEx as see
