Life’s path often contains unexpected twists and turns as we discover what lights us up—such is the case with Ventura County Solar Owner Robert Lopez, a financial expert whose interest in solar power was generated by a chance occurrence.
“While working in finance I came across an article regarding a class action lawsuit between Southern California Edison and the state,” Lopez explains. “It sparked an interest in finding how I could help homeowners find a better way to consume, own and generate their own power.”
For the past eight years, drawing on his background as a photovoltaic expert, Lopez has enjoyed teaching others about the ins and outs of solar power—from the engineering in technology to the financial aspect, including the short- and long-term benefits of residential solar, “We want our customers to know that we are here to educate. Not so much to just simply get more homeowners to go solar.
“We believe in what we are doing, so much that if we know solar isn’t going to help them save money or tremendously benefit them, we will be the first ones to tell them not to do it,” says Lopez, who shares more about Ventura County Solar and extends a special offer to CVL readers.
