How We Got Started in the Solar Business

El Paso Electric sold the company to JP Morgan Chase and the rates tripled over next 15 years. Which forced me to start looking for other options in lowering my cost for electricity. I spent some time looking for a company that was honest and priced before buying from them. I liked them so much I started my own solar consultant company. I'm hoping to make a living and try to help the community save money and bring value to their home just like me.

  • CARBON TAX INFORMATION

    The United States has imposed a carbon tax on itself thereby increase the cost of fossil fuels.  This will accelerate the growing cost of kilowatt hours to a blinding rate. Typically, the cost of kilowatt hours has doubled every 15 years for the next 60 years and that was before the current administration moonshot its commitment to end the fossil fuels in the next 10 to 15 years. This will have the same effect on coal generated electricity as the government anti-tobacco measures had on cigarette prices.  


    So, what’s been happening is that the El Paso Electric just announced that the state is going start getting 80% of the power through renewables in the next 13 years and that is why we are literally seeing our rates go up lately.  Now, what they are telling us that rates are will triple in the next 13 years and our rate will be going through the roof.  Now, they have created a net metering program that helps homeowners lock in their bills and avoids the rates from increasing.  There is a catch, not all homeowners will be qualifying for the net metering program, and we will be looking for homeowners who we can help qualify. Our team will be collecting kilowatt usage of homeowners to determine if they qualify by initially looking at the homeowner’s utility bill.  Specialist will come with a report and make they will go all over all the details with you.  This information will tells us if usage and determine and go into more detail on how everything works.  

Our Future is Bright AND GREEN

Think of it this way. Solar has upfront costs that can easily be financed for a low dollar amount per month. There are government rebates that immediately add relief. Your cost savings will help you with your solar equipment costs (and then some). Within a fairly short amount of time, you have paid off your equipment and made the full conversion away from the power company. 


The future is indeed bright!
