OUR MiSSION
Our mission has always been one of energy conservation, economic value and pro-ecology. We are dedicated to assessing, designing, installing and servicing solar power systems in homes, businesses, churches, schools and community buildings in the Verde Valley of Arizona.
WHO WE ARE
Verde Solar Power is a dealer who engineers, installs and services Photovoltaic (PV) electric solar systems. We are centrally located in Cornville at the Windmill Garden Center to serve the Verde Valley residential and commercial market.
Our assessment software is custom designed for the APS rate structure and is, therefore, the most accurate for this area. We custom design and fabricate each installation and service all solar electric systems. Verde Solar Power utilizes the APS Renewables Program. We endeavor to spread the usage of this clean, renewable energy source, and our vision is to put this great resource to work in the Verde Valley. Solar power is the “Energy – Ecology – Economy” solution!
OUR HISTORY
Our company was founded in 1996 under the name Sedonix to design and develop electronic equipment, led by Greg Collins, an electronics engineer with an avionics background. Greg has promoted, installed and used grid-tied and off-grid solar systems since 1988. With the advent of the current tax incentives making solar power affordable, the business was re-organized in 2008 to focus on grid-tied solar power systems. A retail store was opened in Cornville in 2010, which established Verde Solar Power.
