Solar developers know that securing site control is mission critical. But painstaking manual title search processes bog down developers every day, wasting valuable time across dozens of projects. What if you could centralize and streamline title management, gain visibility into individual workloads, and never miss a beat when team members are out? That’s exactly what Monroe Jett envisioned when he launched Title Leader.
After 35 years in banking and title services, Monroe saw firsthand the need to modernize industry practices. Now his SaaS platform is revolutionizing title automation and winning over major renewable energy developers along the way. In this episode, Monroe explains the title search process, the advantages of automation, and how Title Leader is accelerating the energy transition.
