Founded in 2006, Active Energies Solar, LLC has been a leader in the development of Solar Energy and Verification Services for clients throughout Colorado and in many regional locations.
The owners and staff at Active Energies Solar, LLC contribute to the community by sharing our time, our energy and our knowledge. Whether we're helping low-income families achieve affordable energy bills, volunteering for our favorite non-profits, or visiting local classrooms to teach the next generation about energy resources, we are a committed community partner.
Here are a few of our favorite partnerships and projects:
In 2009, AE teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of Eagle and Lake Counties in order to improve and work towards providing more sustainable and affordable home ownership for their newest development. This collaborative approach was the first of its kind in the region and proved invaluable to the construction team and owners alike. AE volunteered to work alongside Habitat's planning and construction teams to identify appropriate and achievable energy improvements. Throughout the construction process, Active Energies provided site testing and verification, providing over $25,000 in services at no charge to Habitat for Humanity. The result was lower energy bills, improved durability, and better indoor air quality for all 16 units. Once these improvements were incorporated into Habitat's housing at Fox Hollow, AE provided all of the testing and verification work required for the project to seek LEED for Homes Silver certification.In June 2012, Habitat for Humanity received LEED Silver certification on 16 duplex homes in the Fox Hollow neighborhood.
Active Energies is continuing to work with Habitat for Humanity on their latest development at Stratton Flats in Gypsum. This newest neighborhood has an even higher level of collaboration, striving for LEED Platinum certification. In addition to the outstanding upgrades undertaken over the past several years, all of the homes within the newest development will have photovoltaic solar panels. Active Energies has donated all labor associated with the design, approval, and installation of the solar arrays at no charge to Habitat.
Active Energies proudly supports the mission of Roundup River Ranch. In the summer of 2016, Active Energies completed a solar installation, with a generous in-kind donation, on the cookhouse. This installation helps to reduce the operating costs at the camp, so more of the funds raised can go to the mission.
Based in Avon, Walking Mountains provides engaging school field science programs and environmental stewardship programs for the local community and visitors. We are actively involved with Walking Mountains and support their green educational agenda in our community.
In an effort to share our knowledge and enthusiasm, Active Energies provides education and training throughout the community. AE's team has also visited several local classrooms from elementary to high school to provide information about solar energy and green building, including working with 5th grade students at Eagle Valley Elementary School on exhibition projects in which many chose to research renewable energy. AE has presented educational sessions and workshops for the Eagle Valley Homebuilder's Association, Summit County Homebuilder's Association, Walking Mountains, USGBC Colorado, and the Rocky Mountain Water Environmental Association.
