We love to get insights from industry leaders about how alternative energy solutions are developing for consumers and business alike. This week Harry Fleming, CEO of ACRO Energy agreed to talk to us and give his insight on the solar power business in the USA. ACRO Energy is a rapidly growing solar energy installation company based in Houston Texas. They are focused on installing residential solar panel systems in California right now and looking to expand into the Southwest markets of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Harry provides some great information in the interview about the state of the solar market, consumer education, and a view to the future of solar use in the USA. I think you will find his interview full of valuable information about using solar power on your home to decrease your energy bill and to do something about reducing our need for fossil fuels in this country.

We enable you to save money by harnessing the power of the sun, without worrying about your system.

Acro Energy even secures all advance building permits and approvals from community, business and homeowners’ associations. The bottom line? We give you the power to save with solar.
The opportunity:
Electrical rates have been advancing in leaps. But so has solar energy technology.
Solar panels have doubled in efficiency since the 1970s. Design has also improved and solar panels are now more aesthetically pleasing. Today, solar simply makes sense. Municipal agencies agree. City planning offices are now accustomed to issuing permits, and utilities have processes for integrating homeowners’ solar systems with the power grid. Acro played a pivotal role, working with local utilities and building departments, in this process within many of the communities we serve.
The most powerful factor, when it comes to addressing the opportunity for solar power, is the advent of generous government incentives – rebates and tax credits make solar not only affordable but incredibly smart.
The commitment:
Acro currently has more than 80 employees with offices in the Central Valley, Bay Area and Los Angeles, California. Acro Energy is pursuing growth through the purchase of strong, capable solar integration companies across California—and soon, across the U.S. The goal is to unite the nation’s most reliable, professional solar integrators into a national leader that will remain focused on the highest standards of customer service and quality.
Acro Energy is a publicly traded company (ART) on the TSX Venture Exchange, to raise capital for expansion into a national territory.
