It wasn't until I met with Brandon and John from Elemental Energy that I realized that I had found the company I was looking for. First, these guys were the only ones who actually had Bachelor's of Science degrees in Renewable Energy Engineering, meaning they knew what they were talking about. Second, they donated their time using their skills installing solar in Africa, using their passion for what they do and to help others in need. And third, in my opinion most importantly, they were local. The same people meeting with you to discuss solar are the same doing the installations, same managing the project, the same communicating with you. I don't want to undervalue their style of locality to Portland, specifically I appreciated their accessibility and flexibility for my needs.
The install process happend quickly and these guys are so tough, that it actually started to snow while they were installing the panels on my roof! The electrical work was superb from their journeyman contractor who also took the care to consider our garden. Finally, it was the innumerable little things and intangibles, which made the decision of choosing Elemental the right one. They provided added value so far beyond our expectations. These are the guys which put you at ease while they are in your home or on your roof. I am grateful that we made the right decision going with Elemental!
