Hot Purple Energy was founded in 2009 to fill the much needed void in the Coachella Valley of solar contractors with true General Contracting experience.  At that point, and to some degree even today, solar was being offered by companies that were based in sales and marketing rather than hands on construction trade knowledge.  As solar is often added to an existing home or business, having the intimate knowledge of how the home or business is constructed allows Hot Purple Energy to properly and aesthetically integrate the solar into the structure rather than merely bolt it on.

Time and time again, we have been able to put solar where others cannot; to hide solar where others cannot, and to make true energy saving recommendations minimizing the need or scope of solar, that others would rather not.

Beyond the nuts and bolts, beyond the concern for design and maximum solar production, we are a committed community partner.   This is a small community that we are part of and dedicated to.  We have earned the trust of our clients and our communities by being truth mongers about solar and all things energy related, but also by rolling up our sleeves to help those in need and to make the Coachella Valley better for all.

We have enjoyed the hundreds of solar systems we’ve installed per year saving our clients money and lessening their reliance on fossil fuels, as well as the hundreds of annual not for profits and community events we solar power, sponsor and participate in.  We consider ourselves lucky to be able to do both.

Our mission has never been about selling the most solar panels, but rather advocating for smarter energy choices, which hopefully leads to smarter choices across the board.  We are proud of our 10 years of advancing health, wealth, and happiness and look forward to the doing much more in the years to come.

Designing and sizing a 25 plus year power plant for your home or business should be a decision that is thought through and analyzed thoroughly. We move as fast as anyone in terms of design and installation but are not prone to sizing or pricing off a google image or from the hip.

We talk people out of solar every day. We also talk people into smaller systems than they think they need. It’s not to put us out of business, but rather do the right thing for our friends and neighbors. In short, we are looking out for your best interests: aesthetic, financial or both.

We love the product of solar, but we love it more when it’s combined with the energy savings, energy management, and or battery backup.

No matter where you are in your solar investigation we are ready to help. The best thing is to start a conversation and review of your energy use and the solar exposure of your home or business. From there we can design the best possible energy solutions available.

While the cost of power produced from rooftop solar is already less expensive than grid power, solar is really an investment in your energy future. Even though the future is unknown we do expect (A) to use electricity and (B) for traditional Utility electric grid demand to go up and therefore continue to increase in cost. Therefore, year after year, the savings from solar will increase. The solar systems we have installed over the past years have exceeded the rate of return we projected, and we expect this trend to continue.

Conceptually any investment is solar should pay off in the long run. But while it’s easy and convenient to simply focus on the savings figures, we don’t. It’s like buying a car based on gas mileage alone without knowing the type, color, size or if it even fits your lifestyle. We want the perfect fit even if it means not installing solar at all.

Please use this site and our blog to be a resource for solar down to the nth degree: from the pitfalls of solar panels with poor heat tolerances, to what to do if you don’t have the tax liability to benefit from the 26% Federal Renewable Energy Tax Credit.

In the end it’s our job to look out for you in all areas. We will help guide you, and protect you, through the solar installation process. We are so confident in what we say, we provide written protections to assure your long-term satisfaction and energy happiness.
