It’s Never Been Cheaper to Empower Your Business
In the nearly 20 years that I have been immersed in the world of sustainable energy, I have continued to see the cost of purchasing and maintaining a solar rig drop year after year. In fact, according to a recent Bloomberg report, PV system operations and maintenance costs have shrunk in half over the last four years alone.
Grateful to Get Energized
It’s the time of year when we are all called upon to count our blessings and remember what we are thankful for, and we have plenty that fits the bill. We are grateful to be in an industry that is actively working to save the planet. We are grateful to be located in such a beautiful area and surrounded by a terrific community. But most of all, we are grateful for our customers, for giving us a reason to get up every morning and get people energized.
Meet the Team: Aur Beck
If you’ve ever met Aur Beck (and if you’ve spent any amount of time in Southern Illinois, you probably have), “shy” is probably not the first word that comes to mind. Aur’s gregarious presence as part of innumerable events and organizations in the region would probably lead you to believe he is an extrovert, but as it turns out, quite the opposite is true. Aur credits “tons of passion” for helping others and serving as our Founder and Chief Tech for motivating him to regularly get out of his comfort zone.
Southern Illinois Makes Shopping Locally a Breeze
As a small-town business that is focused on sustainability and saving our customers money, shopping locally is very near and dear to our hearts. While big box stores ship globally at a huge cost to the environment, local outfits are able to do business while leaving a much smaller carbon footprint. But the most immediately noticeable impact of local shopping is improving the local economy, and we are always looking for ways to keep more money circulating in Southern Illinois.
