Preflight Checklist

Problem Description

Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) is a business model that is gaining interest amongst Solar Home System distributors. Currently, MPM only support PayGO models with a fixed contract run time.

To use EaaS with MPM users would have to create an artificially high total price when selling an SHS

This leads to the deferred payment scheme to never actually finish, but giving the user the option to keep pay rates on an adhoc bases.

Proposed Solution

From a User PoV, please add a new section to the Sell Appliance Modal, called "Energy-as-a-Service".
