Responsible Contractor Procedure

The RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR PROCEDURE of Day & Night Solar (DNS) is designed to guide, in a manner consistent with DNS fiduciary duty responsibility and management, of turn-key PV projects for our customer base. The policy seeks to ensure that the selection process for independent contractors will include, among other things, a demonstrated ability to provide reliable and high-quality services, which may be evident by their relevant experience, reputation, dependability, industry training, and ability to provide cost-effective services; thereby enhancing the value of said amenities.

INTRODUCTION

Day and Night Solar, LLC is a supplier of solar Photovoltaic (sometimes referred to as “solar power” components) and solutions integrator, with its corporate headquarters in Collinsville, IL. DNS has regional representation throughout the United States and Columbia, SA. DNS has positioned itself as a turnkey solar integrator of high-quality solar technologies to ensure excellent energy production and efficiency. DNS is focused on the supply and delivery of optimized electrical systems that promote the concepts of conservation and rational use of energy through the implementation of the principles of efficiency, sustainability, and reliability. As an authorized factory direct distributor for multiple panel types, inverter, mounting hardware, along with other products, DNS has access to the highly advanced products to meet the needs of both public and private sector enterprises. The objective of DNS is to be a premier integrator and direct supplier of solar “PV” products with competitive cost for high quality and long-term reliability. Through our in-house expertise, network of suppliers, local market contractors, electricians, and installation specialists, we are able to meet project requirements of almost any size. Working with local partners, DNS services include: integration and engineering of solution components to meet custom project specifications. DNS focuses on engineering its systems to minimize both the capital expense and the ongoing operational expenses for our customers. All products supplied by DNS carry industry leading manufacturer’s warranty and meet rigid certification standards. All panels, inverters, and mounting hardware meet the California Solar Institute and Florida Solar Energy Requirements, as well as being UL listed, as applicable.

The focus of DNS is rooted in the Renewable Energy Sector, specifically “PV,” and a desire to drive contractors to a larger market share in the Solar PV industry. DNS is focused on helping contractors across the country improve their efficiency and profitability, all while developing an additional market segment.

DEFINITION OF A RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR

A “Responsible Contractor,” as used in this Policy, is an independent contractor who provides high quality services on a comparable and relevant basis in the applicable local market, consistent with the desired contracting criteria. Contractors based in local markets must have evidence including: the nature of the project, comparable job experience, or trade classifications, along with a history of operating under all local, state, and national laws and regulations that govern building, construction, and utility companies.

SELECTION OF RESPONSIBLE CONTRACTOR

If specific project requirements and laws are all met, it is preferable that a responsible contractor be hired consistent with performance of DNS fiduciary duties. Where no contractor is available, or the client dictates a category of contractor, DNS will attempt to select the contractor that, in their good-faith judgement, best demonstrates an ability and commitment to meet the requirements. Where a contractor is selected, DNS must closely monitor the contractor’s work to ensure compliance for the duration of the contract.

Given the time and expense required to solicit and evaluate potential contractors, it is not essential that DNS solicit all potential contractors. DNS must use reasonable efforts to ensure, to the commercially reasonable extent, that there is a selection process that is inclusive of potentially eligible responsible contractors. Competitive bidding does not necessarily ensure inclusion in the list of potential responsible contractors. DNS will retain full discretion while conducting the bidding process in a manner that is consistent with the fiduciary responsibilities to our clients.
