Harness the power of nature and save money
Our fearless founder discovered the power of solar energy at a remote mountain hut where the idea of a safe, efficient electricity source, powered by the sun, inspired him to study alternative energy. His vision was to provide state-of-the-art, renewable energy systems as eco-friendly solutions to power anything. Since then, we’ve been pioneers in the sustainability space with a long history of learning before grid-tied solar was even economically feasible. We are committed to freeing our customers from fossil fuels and transitioning to safe, healthy, renewable energy through our day-to-day projects and our employee involvement in volunteer and activism groups.
