About Us
Making Solar Accessible
Village Solar Co was founded with the intent to make solar as accessible and affordable as possible. We work with our customers to find the optimal solution for their needs, keep material costs to a minimum through efficient design, and employing a business model valuing People and Planet over Profit.
We're Commmited to Ethical Business Standards
Its not secret the Solar Industry has had issues with less than honest companies maximizing their profits at the cost of transparency and customer satisfaction.
At Village Solar Co. we do things differently; we're proud to have been among the first companies in Ohio to Sign the Solar Ethics Pledge put together by Green Energy Ohio and Solar United Neighbors.
The Pledge holds companies to a higher standard, requires only factual marketing, and promotes a healthy and honest solar industry.
