SolarTech Direct

Manufacturer/Supplier

SolarTech Direct is a family-owned business based in Seattle WA. Our Founder &; President, Kris de Leon, is passionate about solving problems. When he heard complaints from friends and colleagues about their ridiculously high power bills, he investigated ways he can help people solve this problem. That's when Kris came across solar. He learned about the advantages solar has not only in reducing a homeowner's power bill, but also helping homes gain energy independence from the utility company and protecting themselves from rising energy costs. Growing up in the Pacific island of Guam, Kris knows how important energy is in our daily lives. During those times when typhoons devastated the island, Kris would go for several weeks without power. He couldn't operate the refrigerator, TV, computer and other electrical appliances. It felt like living in the stone age.He also witnessed his parents struggling to pay their high utility bills. Since Guam imported fossil fuels, energy prices were among the highest in the U.S. Kris knew there was a better solution. When he saw the intersection between cutting energy costs and reducing our carbon foot print, he knew starting SolarTech Direct was the right opportunity. Offering solar helps benefit both his customers and the planet. We're passionate about helping homeowners switch to solar power. Whether you plan to install it yourself or hire a contractor, we're here to help you select the right equipment for your home or other solar project. https://www.solartechdirect.com
