About Us
Namaste Solar is transforming energy and transforming business.
Our Mission:
Not Just Another Solar Company
We’re built from the ground up to be better. As one of the only locally born and raised Colorado solar companies still in business after 21+ years, we’ve built a long track record of success while also creating something unique: an employee-owned cooperative that runs its business as a force for good in our communities.
What’s the secret to our success? People come to work here out of a desire to align their work and their values. And when you love what you do, why you’re doing it, and the people you work alongside, you do outstanding work.
People Come First
At Namaste Solar, we are transforming energy by harnessing the power of the sun and transforming business by finding purpose beyond profit. People come first in our decision making, aiming to create a higher quality of life for our employees, a superior quality experience for customers, and a positive impact on our broader communities.
- Employee-ownership is at the heart of Namaste Solar.
- As a Certified B Corporation, we measure success in terms of people, planet, and profit.
- We give back to the communities we live and work in.
- We’re striving to increase equity at our cooperative.
- We have a Stakeholder Code of Conduct for business entities we work with.
