Over the last 12 years, we've seen a lot in the rapidly changing solar industry, from falling costs (down 70% since we were founded in 2007) to the number of U.S. solar-powered homes and businesses reaching the 2 million mark in May of this year.
From our humble beginnings installing solar on one house at a time in Central Texas, we have expanded into every corner of Texas and grown into the #1 largest residential solar installer in Texas for the past 3 years running, as well as becoming the partner of choice for hundreds of top Texas companies and institutions including Whole Foods and The University of Texas. In many ways, our experience has mirrored the industry as we've faced constant change, plenty of ups and downs, and through it all continuous and rapid growth.
As we celebrate our twelfth anniversary in business, we are thrilled to announce two other milestones.
