A Story of Sustainability
On a flight to Phoenix, our founders looked down from the window and saw thousands of rooftops without solar. “How strange,” they thought, “for a city that averages more than 300 sunny days every year.” Inspired, Joe contacted his friend and colleague, Russ Patzer, and together they scratched out a business plan on the back of a napkin to harness Arizona’s most abundant natural resource and change how people power their lives.
This was the beginning of Innovation Solar & CounselingSolar Solutions and exactly the type of challenge that two former Intel engineers like Joe and Russ just love. Russ took the lead on all business operations as CEO while Joe focused his efforts on the technology side.
Today, Innovation Solar & CounselingSolar Solutions’ mission can be traced back to that singular airplane moment that ignited Russ and Joe’s imaginations. We combine cutting edge and reliable technologies with fully tested installation techniques to deliver a clean, affordable energy alternative to the people of Arizona. Since our founding, we’ve helped thousands of businesses and homeowners reduce, or even eliminate their electric bills, while ensuring a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for generations to come.
