WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO AT SES
Lower Energy Costs for Homeowners and Businesses
Solar power allows homeowners and businesses to lock in what they pay for power. A typical solar system will provide power for more than 25 years. When you own your power generation, and that power generation has a guaranteed power output for 25 years, your cost for the power never goes up. No utility will ever be able to make that same promise. Add a battery to your solar system, and you have protection from power outages. We believe giving people the ability to take control of their own power can give families and businesses a way to control rising expenses and overhead.
Energy Security to Protect Against Grid Outages with Battery
When solar is installed with a battery, our customers have protection again grid reliability issues and outages. With batteries, our customers can weather the storms that mother nature deals as well as other grid disruptions.
Making the Most of Advancing Technology
The technologies of solar power, solar battery storage, and electric vehicles are changing by the day and month. Because of this, we have to change and adapt almost constantly as
Better Jobs for People:
We love being part of the transitioning energy industry. The old ways of producing and distributing power have been static for 125 years. Now there is a better way, and we are leading the charge to implement solar in the south and midwest. At Solar Energy Solutions, we believe helping our team members learn a new trade that supports the changing energy landscape and is also a secure and well-paid skilled job for life is a joy. Solar installers are the #1 job growth category in the US! We run this business to build a new energy economy where our families and we can feel like we make a real difference for customers as they take control of their energy costs while making the environment better.
Better for the World:
Solar Energy Solutions has chosen to be at the forefront of the rapid rise of solar power to help consumers take control of their energy and address challenges to the status quo with a self-sufficient energy solution. Producing your own power is better for the world in many ways. Most recently, we have seen how world events, such as pandemics and wars, can greatly affect the availability of many things, including the fuel that our utilities need to create power. That uncertainty means price volatility and other disruptions which impact people’s lives and the environment.
Increasing severe weather events around our region affect energy security and prices. This is because any additional cost utilities must pay to repair their facilities or lines after a weather event is passed on to consumers. Over time, reduced CO2 emissions from solar will help slow the increase in severe weather events that result in droughts, floods, and wildfires. Right now, solar plus batteries will help to keep customers homes and/or businesses running.
