Independent Energy Advisory

Solar advice that puts you first.

Krueger Energy Consulting is an independent advisory firm. We don't sell panels and we don't install them, so the guidance you get is built around your goals, not a product line. We help trade businesses launch profitable solar divisions and help homeowners cut through the noise of going solar.

What We Do

Two service lines. One independent perspective.

Whether you're a business adding solar to your offering or a homeowner weighing a major investment, you get advice that answers to you.

For Trade Businesses

Launch a Solar Division

You've already built trust as a roofer, electrician, or HVAC contractor. Solar is the natural next line, but standing it up wrong is expensive. We help you build the arm the right way.

  • Market and margin assessment before you commit
  • Sales process and rep training built for your team
  • Vendor, financing, and equipment selection
  • Operational playbook from quote to install

For Homeowners

Independent Solar Advisory

Most "free solar consultations" are sales calls in disguise. We're not. We give you an honest read on whether solar makes sense for your home, and what a fair deal actually looks like.

  • Plain-English review of quotes and proposals
  • Is solar even right for your roof and usage?
  • Spot inflated pricing and bad financing terms
  • Guidance with zero installer kickbacks

Why Independent Matters

Advice you can actually trust starts with who's paying for it.

In solar, almost everyone giving you "advice" earns a commission on what they recommend. We took that conflict off the table on purpose.

No product to push

We don't manufacture, sell, or install equipment. There's no brand we need you to choose.

Paid by you, not them

Our only incentive is your outcome. No referral fees, no vendor kickbacks shaping the recommendation.

Built on real experience

Practical, field-tested knowledge of how solar deals are actually structured, priced, and sold.

About

Who you're working with

KEC was founded on a simple frustration: the solar industry is full of advice that's really just a sales pitch. Buyers get pressured and businesses get burned trying to enter a market they don't fully understand yet.

I know because I spent eight years co-owning and running the sales side of Aim High Solar, a veteran-owned installer here in Colorado. I sat at more than 300 kitchen tables, closed over 150 of them, and saw firsthand the games that give this industry its reputation. Before that, twenty-four years serving the U.S. Air Force taught me to explain complicated things plainly and stand behind the work.

KEC exists to put that experience on your side of the table. For trade businesses, that means building a solar division that's actually profitable and built to last. For homeowners, it means a straight answer before you sign anything.

"Tim was honest with me and my solar needs, or lack of. We got a quote from another company and he talked me through why solar may not be a great economical choice for my household at this time. Thank you again for your honest advice!"
