Crafting Excellence: The Journey of Pacific Solar & Wind
Born out of a flair for excellence, Pacific Solar & Wind is known for its custom design work and catering to customers who need more than just a solar system. Bruce and Scott began working together as Energy Options in 2004 back when solar was a garage industry and PV panels cost $3.65 a watt! In order to make the system more affordable, they developed custom tracking systems that made 30% more energy. Bruce and Scott met Chris 10 years ago on a large PV/battery backup project. Chris soon after started his own company designing and installing residential and commercial PV systems.
