Standard Renewable Energy partners with Sunflower Solar

Sunflower Solar has recently partnered with Houston, Texas-based Standard Renewable Energy (www.sre3.com). This alliance will allow both companies to offer consumers a wider range of renewable energy technologies. Sunflower Solar’s main expertise had been in solar photovoltaic (PV), but they now offer solar thermal, wind, energy audits and high-efficiency air conditioning and heating appliances. The new business model brings businesses and homeowners a suite of energy efficient products and solutions – all in one place. The company’s focus will revolve around their unique RE3 suite of solutions: Review, Reduce, Renew. In other words, evaluate your energy efficiency with an energy audit, reduce energy waste with small things like weather stripping, and finally, use renewable energy to generate your remaining power. It is understood that this order of operations makes renewable energy more cost-effective. Standard Renewable Energy now operates in Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. It has been praised for successfully bringing renewable energy to predominantly red states and counties. Kelly Whiteford of Boulder’s former Sunflower Solar says, “the name Sunflower Solar will be missed, but we are confident that we will be recognized as having the same expertise and customer service. We are also excited to have the ability to offer our clients more energy efficient products and services.” Sunflower Solar was founded in 2005 by Will Sisk and Zeke Yewdall. They have expanded quickly over the last three years and now employ over 30 people.
