In 1995, Company President and now chief renewable-energy-technologist Ben Jason began installing battery based solar PV (photovoltaic) electric systems - the only kind available then. Few at the time imagined solar electric systems connected to the grid.
Through numerous courses at Solar Energy International and construction of various systems at his own, family members', and acquaintances' homes, Ben learned how to design, install, and troubleshoot solar electric (both battery based and grid-tied), solar thermal, hybrid solar-generator, wind, and micro-hydro renewable energy systems.

Determining whether your home or business is suitable for solar electric or other renewable energy system is a several step, yet exciting, process. Often, alternative options are uncovered as we work with our clients to determine how they can go renewable. First, we will ask some questions about how you use energy, what type of heating, cooling, and appliances are currently installed at your home or business, and review your utility bills.

Ben has put Solar on several of my rental houses. He was very knowledgeable and helpful through the whole process. It was very clear that he has the best interest of his client in mind. All the installations were very well done with attention to detail. Quality installs. Living Solar has a top notch crew that is highly trained, polite, and willing to work around my schedule. The product, SunPower, is the best on the market and all my systems are performing higher than the estimated production. Overall I would highly recommend Living Solar! you get what you pay for: Quality.

How in the world does LS not have any reviews yet? Awesome company. Super stoked on the fact that the owner is certified for Tesla and other EV charging stations. The requirements for a PV installer to become affiliated with Tesla are difficult to meet, and it shows that Ben is and has been on top of the game for years longer than most outfits.

We're a retired couple who built our own home near Cortez. After enjoying the house for several years, we decided we could add PV power.

Though there were lower bids, we selected Living Solar for their reputation, the quality of equipment they proposed and that thorough approach to providing our proposal. Their installation
