At Goodrich Solar, we believe that renewable energy is more than just a service—it’s a commitment to a brighter, more sustainable future.
This belief stems from the vision and passion of our founder, Colby Goodrich, whose journey in the solar industry is a testament to integrity, innovation, and customer-first values.
A Passion for Renewable Energy
Colby’s fascination with renewable energy began years ago when he first discovered the transformative potential of solar power. The idea of harnessing the sun’s energy to create clean, reliable, and cost-effective power sparked a lifelong dedication to sustainable energy solutions.
From Disillusionment to Inspiration
Colby’s early career in the solar industry took him to national EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) companies, where he gained valuable technical expertise. However, he also encountered the shortcomings of high-volume operations that prioritized sales over customer satisfaction.
“I saw how many companies treated customers as just another number,” Colby recalls. “It didn’t sit right with me. People deserve better when they’re making such an impactful decision about their energy future.”
This disillusionment fueled his determination to find a better way—one where customers felt empowered, supported, and confident in their transition to solar.
Partnering with Synergy Solutions
Colby found a kindred spirit in Synergy Solutions, a company known for its customer-centric approach. Their model emphasized transparency, high-quality products, and ongoing support—values that resonated deeply with Colby. Inspired by their mission, he decided to bring a similar approach to his hometown of Bozeman, Montana.
“Working with Synergy Solutions showed me that solar can be done differently. It’s not just about selling systems; it’s about creating lasting relationships and ensuring the customer’s needs come first,” says Colby.
Building Goodrich Solar
With a clear vision in mind, Colby founded Goodrich Solar to provide a local alternative for Montanans seeking reliable and sustainable energy solutions. From the start, the company has focused on three core pillars:
- Transparency: Offering honest, straightforward guidance to help customers make informed decisions.
- American-Made Products: Prioritizing quality and supporting domestic manufacturing.
- Long-Term Support: Ensuring that every customer receives post-installation assistance to maximize efficiency and savings.
Goodrich Solar serves both residential and commercial clients, offering customized solutions that align with their unique energy needs. Whether helping homeowners save on electricity bills or enabling businesses to demonstrate sustainability, the company remains steadfast in its mission to make solar accessible and impactful.
A Bright Future for Montana
Under Colby’s leadership, Goodrich Solar is transforming Montana’s energy landscape. By combining technical expertise with a deep commitment to customer care, the company is empowering individuals and businesses to embrace renewable energy confidently.
“We’re not just installing solar panels; we’re building a cleaner, more sustainable future for our community,” Colby explains. “That’s what drives me every day.”
