October 2022. Serv Solar is launched. I had been living in California my whole life. I got into the home improvement sales space in 2019. I initially came to San Luis Obispo as a student studying Statistics at Cal Poly University and ended up staying after graduation to pursue a full-time career in Solar. After a few years of experience, I teamed up with some old coworkers to launch Serv Solar.
December 2022, California announced NEM 3.0, the "End of Solar". I had a feeling that PG&E and CPUC did this due to their inability to keep electric rates low. As a new company, we knew this would be very challenging, and we worked 200% up until April 15th, 2023.
April 16th 2023, I ending up making a solo trip to sell solar in Las Vegas to see if that market would work for solar. We decided to stay in California. We changed our product offering around a dozen times until finally findinga strong offer in September.
January 1, 2024, PG&E goes up 20%. The result is that solar customers are now saving the same % on their utility bill as they did under NEM 2.0. Demand for solar is beginning to pickup as battery education rises.
March 16, 2024, Mid State Fair Home Show. This event signifies the start of the peak solar season that will last until the end of October. We launched our Solar Calculator and became the only company in SLO with transparent pricing that is free to access. We also announced our sponsorship of Atascadero High School. Our backend system got remodeled, so now there are 2 project managers on the backend of each job. PG&E also announced yet another rate hike.
May 14th, 2024, More Huge Announcements. We began offering the Tesla Powerwall 3 on cash purchases. We now offer Battery only and Roof only installations and are beginning to push these options. We are also now donating a portion of all revenue from solar installations to the Give Power Foundation.
Hey, my name is Kyle Elpel, I own Serv Solar. I am proud to share the story of our company, and I hope to hear from you. Please give us a call or try out our free Solar Calculator.
