ABOUT HARVEST SOLAR

OUR MISSION AND VISION

Harvest Solar is committed to providing customers with the highest quality solar electric systems while creating an experience that educates and empowers them to take ownership of their energy needs. By educating our customers and our community, we work to create a world where all people understand how solar energy works and believe it’s within their reach.

Who we are

Harvest Solar’s expertise is deeply rooted in its team's hands-on experience and dedication. The founder’s journey into renewable energy began with an unexpected conversation with a volunteer during a bike race in Rapelje, Montana. This dialogue sparked his passion, and since then, that passion has evolved into a commitment to delivering innovative solar solutions with the utmost professionalism and customer-centricity. It is reflected in every project, where open, transparent communication is fostered to make clients feel comfortable, heard and confident in the partnership.

The team understands each client’s energy goals and electrical setup through detailed discussions and presents the most suitable option. It follows a "do it right the first time" approach to ensure that each system is future-proofed to integrate emerging PV technologies seamlessly. A fully equipped service department provides ongoing support, offering clients the peace of mind that comes with a trusted partnership. The customer-centricity is further reinforced by a focus on education and knowledge sharing. Clients receive comprehensive tutorials on system operations and tools to monitor energy production and consumption, enabling them to take full ownership of their systems.

"We have the expertise and technical knowledge to tackle even the most complex system innovations."

Our personalized approach

Hands-ON and CUSTOMER Focused 
At Harvest Solar, getting to know our customers’ needs is our priority. We believe this makes for a fun and educational experience, while also creating a dialogue that allows for transparency and accountability. We are here to do more than put solar on your roof. We are here to teach you how it works. Through this educational, customer-first approach, we believe our clients can have a more satisfying transition to solar. Armed with an understanding of how the technology works, they are empowered to take ownership of their energy needs. In order to ensure our clients always receive the highest level of service, we have kept our operation small. This enables us to be involved throughout the whole process -- from sales, to design and install, to project completion and beyond. Each project is unique. From large commercial projects, to small-off grid, we give every project the time and attention it deserves.

The installation process is typically very low-impact. You can take comfort knowing that we will be clean, efficient and respectful of your home or business. Once the system is completed, we’ll call in the inspection, and we’ll submit your net-meter request form. All of our work adheres to local and state codes and industry best-practice.

Once the utility installs your net-meter, your system can be turned on, and you can begin harvesting energy from the sun! We will set up your monitoring platform and walk you through its interface so you can watch your system work in real-time.
