Corey Garrison, Founder and CEO 

Corey has always been drawn towards electronics. As a child, he would take apart everything from the family phone to dad’s alarm clock, just to see how they worked. This is quite common, but what isn’t, is the fact that he could put them all back together in working order. He began his electrical career in a 2-year electronic/electrical vocational school in 1995. After graduating he answered his country’s call by joining the United States Air Force. He spent the next few years increasing his electrical knowledge becoming first an Electrical and Environmental Journeyman, and then after 3 years of on-the-job training, he was awarded the rating of “Craftsman.” He spent the remainder of his US Air Force service troubleshooting problems and repairing them on multiple aircraft, primarily the F-16 fighting Falcon. Assessing problems and performing repairs to strict military standards played right into Corey’s penchant for perfection. As Corey puts it “when you have a pilot’s life in your hands, not to mention several million dollars of our nation’s military hardware, you grow up fast, there’s simply no room for error!” After serving the Air Force for 10 years, he decided it was time to serve in a different way. Fueled by his dedication to excellence and powered by years of acquiring electronics expertise, Corey changed careers in 2007. He founded SouthFace Solar Electric, bringing “aeronautical quality” to the southwest’s solar electric industry.

Solar Energy and Home Battery Systems

Consumers increased demand of solar energy has brought about the rise of another renewable technology: solar battery storage, that can store excess solar energy for later self-consumption (immediate use).  Finding, designing, and installing these “solar-with-storage” systems for your home can be a daunting. Southface Solar & Electric can help …

How Well Do You Manage The Energy Used In Your Home or Business?

Energy efficient solar systems (such as solar electric panels, solar thermal panels, and solar with battery storage) have a lot of sex appeal and can provide significant savings on your utility bills.  But for some, having systems like these installed could result in very high costs.  If you’re interested in saving money and on a budget like most of us, we usually recommend a different approach in reducing your energy consumption before installing additional solar technologies – Energy Management.  Below is a list of energy management strategies we have used on our own homes and businesses and that we recommend for everyone.  They will increase your home’s or business’s comfort factor and self-knowledge of how you use energy; all while paying for themselves, decreasing your energy consumption and ultimately reducing or removing the cost barriers of installing solar electric, solar thermal, or solar with battery storage.

Begin by monitoring your energy usage

Having instant information feedback provided to consumers is powerful. The greatest example of this we have seen in recent years is the fuel consumption readouts in your car. It’s sometimes amazing to realize that instant fuel consumption did not become standard until just over a decade ago. Did having that instant fuel consumption reading change the way you drive? Maybe it did and maybe it didn’t. But there have many studies showing a reduction of fuel consumption based solely on this instant feedback information.

We Will Help You With Every Energy System Challenge!

SouthFace Solar & Electric prides ourselves in the quality of our installations to ensure that nothing goes wrong. We perform operations and maintenance (O & M) on all energy management systems- including those that we do not install ourselves. If you need solar repair or just aren’t receiving the quality of service you need, give us a call.  Our priority is to make sure everyone gets the most from their solar systems.
