John helped me build an 800 kW solar array on my Self Storage business. We were one of the first projects under the new Massachusetts SMART Program and he helped me model the revenue and cash flow of the project, navigate the incentives and tax deductions, and manage the design and construction. John was absolutely instrumental in the success of my solar project.
