Lynn Jurich

Sure.

are So, at we to yes, persist that XX% the QX to for for Brian, orders expect QX. and XX%

scale, horizon, you be XXX quickly types this look up if so a sustaining it's rates. time difficult and described those at behind again, especially have multi-quarter market proven catch install on after focusing growth today. we of So, we And we're to to we over tight, position our as open fell last quarter, in and any efficiency,

to again really if and you that's the your on want you the expectations key pushed we're at approaching that just with with and are they any of with there mitigate communicate sort the look times right I really that how upfront concerns that is, being out. helps them. customers think, And So, cycle you

Brian Lee

is of out, XX-day just that XX-day to moving within on it you maybe window? pushing Well, instances inferring Lynn outside out that Or about clarify in you're XX-day some that comment the actually pushing window? to sort

Lynn Jurich

into pushed QX. be and Some built backlog will

QX able from QX. to the So in at is you growth you're QX going being if see X% growth, some it's to backlog to be QX, so strong still look still realized rate quarter-over-quarter, but

Brian Lee

kind segue then I'll into And guess of on. and question, I pass that's my then a second it

would from issues most volumes you labor do weather deployment over think something megawatts But the XXX that is have on but I do the they're to people it look appreciate expecting that So that just obviously, guidance are control, can the with hitting but for I QX. if here imply you deployment capacity ahead weaker. people into year, keeping the targets we guess most you do a strong seasonally are fourth based QX, quarter quarter you into be can't

the year? of a are now trying things next lessen sense labor funnel impacting to down the seasonally? you're then of a early you then you've strong just the those does part slow in period is, some capacity, just how maybe, issues question is of get because But sales And into ramped as the naturally of of And year much seasonally strong. that up

the maybe you to so start see to some And it sales naturally by it, helped install slowness? really seasonal and do lag,

Lynn Jurich

Yes.

taking, do catch we're may actions within hiring that's marketing the to tight, packages of making taking, a retention opportunities which the up lot combination expect a If have. quarters. outside, inside making we of that well, of characterize and sure recruiters really you that our And you are we're couple are the sure actions we're suspect and a we and brand employment career compensation around

with at came last issue quarter. in our we quarter, time, - reasonable to a this feel can it scales hard up. catch is and up in it again period do we any so confident of But And

we little seeing just labor The leveraging other is thing is to well. Yes, model. advantages so also a we're model multi-channel this of third-party that we have are business our the leveraging, and one tightness do as

imagine, third have us our network gives bit you we more So market little a existing we that can but They this flex as with are can in relationships also and parties. constrained flex. it

will So well QX we and shape. I think be characterized you in into good it getting think
