Not an installer. A resource to help you hire the right one.

My name is Thomas Lansing and my purpose here is to provide straightforward information related to solar systems in and around Idaho. It can be a lot of work to confidently buy a solar system and I hope to make it a little easier for people.

My History

  • As an installer: I led teams to install solar arrays for about 95 homes and 5 businesses.
  • As a salesman: I conducted hundreds of site assessments in Idaho and a handful in Oregon, Washington, and Utah.
  • As a researcher: I built a predictive model for discovering houses that would be a good match for solar panels.
  • As a product designer: I work to characterize and solve the problems shared by solar customers and solar providers.
