This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
Utah is not ranked as highly for being a great place to convert to solar energy — at least until this point it hasn't....But Adam Raines of SolarTek Solutions says it's evolved in the three years since he entered the business. ..... His reports show an average growth of almost 250 percent year over year for West Jordan-based SolarTek Solutions .... That means in Utah, the word is getting out and people are hoping to save on energy costs... Not to mention there are 350 million terawatts of free energy available from the sun.
The nice thing about solar is there are no moving parts, and Adam has a 25-year panel warranty and a 10-year craftsmanship warranty.... That's helping him grow SolarTek Solutions not only throughout Utah, but nationally as well.
SolarTek already has relationships with Ivory, Cadence and Candlelight homes to install the panels as a new home option....And that's not even mentioning their affiliation with Smart Choice communities.... It's this type of foresight and vision that's allowing his company to grow from two to 20 employees in as little as six months...
At its heart, Adam says SolarTek is a solutions company... Now that may seem like a simple statement about a simple idea, but it's not....Yes, the process means that all a homeowner or business owner needs to do is agree to go solar... Adam reminds you there are 39 steps to go after someone decides to put a solar panel on the house or business.... 39 steps to becoming a little less energy dependent... all which his company takes care of.
Another important mission for SolarTek Solutions is to educate people on benefits of solar technology.....For customers concerned with the panels outside the home, Adam can install a micro-inverter outside the home under the solar panel to capture the energy.... And once friends tell friends and show how they're saving hundreds a year on energy costs, all Adam has to do is answer the question of when he can get started...
For Zions Bank, I'm Chris Redgrave, speaking on business.
