About Solar Costa Rica
Our Mission:Solar Costa Rica is dedicated to reducing energy use and supplying renewable energy to clients throughout Central America.We believe it is our responsibility to future generations.
Our Solutions: (1) Provide detailed auditing of existing energy systems to determine the lowest cost activities to reduce our client's energy bills. (2) Install improvements to the clients mechanical, cooling, and heating systems that reduce energy consumption while maintaining comfort and efficiency. (3) Install solar, wind, or hydro energy generating systems to produce the power the client needs. (4) Monitor the energy system after installation to determine the effectiveness of the new energy program.
Our Board:
