Why Billion Dollar Solar Companies Collapsed and Who Is Winning Now | Hung Nguyen

Billion dollar solar companies like Titan, SunPower, and SunNova collapsed almost overnight and most real estate investors and agents have no idea what that means for their deals. In this episode of The M.O.R.E. Show, Justin Colby sits down with Hung Nguyen, founder of Detach Reset Solar, who discovered one of the most overlooked niches in the entire real estate and home services space. Hung built a business around a single problem that nobody was solving, removing, storing, and reinstalling solar panels so roofing contractors could do their work and turned it into a blue ocean opportunity with a total addressable market covering millions of homes across the country.

KEY TOPICS COVERED:

• Why major solar companies like Titan, SunPower, and SunNova went completely bankrupt.
• The detach and reset solar niche explained — and why almost nobody knew it existed
• How Hung Nguyen discovered the opportunity from a roofing contractor who couldn't sell roofs.
• Why real estate investors and agents need to understand solar panels on every property they buy or sell.
• How insurance line items for detach and reset solar create a funded opportunity for homeowners.
• The blue ocean market, Hung was the only player for three years and what that meant for growth.
