From dealing with customer expectations to the real-world limits of battery backup systems, this episode is packed with no-nonsense insights and hard-earned wisdom.

- Why most generator installs are done wrong
- What generator dealers should be watching for in the next 5–10 years
- How to build a company that can run without you
