    Ross Solar Group of Danbury, CT today announced their strategic alliance with Climate Partners of Milford, CT to provide Integrated Energy and Comfort solutions to Connecticut homeowners. The focus of this strategic alliance is to help homeowners considering renewable energy, such as solar PV, realize lower upfront investments and faster paybacks with better ROI’s, which will result in more savings quicker.

    Headquartered in Danbury, CT, Ross Solar Group is one of the region's leading design-build firms specializing in Solar PV.

    Headquartered in Milford, CT, Climate Partners is one of southern Connecticut’s premier Home Performance companies, offering complete, turnkey heating, cooling, and energy conservation solutions to homeowners.

    Tom Casey: home energy solutions have to go beyond 'the boxes.'

    Ross Solar Group, founded in 2007 by the Ross Family, designs and installs affordable, turnkey Solar PV solutions completely in-house. With offices in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, when it comes to Solar Energy, they’re the clear choice for a successful solar project. "Our lead installer and designer, Jason Ross, has direct experience installing over 350 systems over the past eight years. Jason is one of a limited number of NABCEP certified installers in the U.S. He was also one of the first licensed photovoltaic installers in Connecticut," said Josh Ross, Partner of Ross Solar Group.

    "A increased demand for Home Performance, including renewables, lead us to explore options to find the right firm to form a strategic alliance with. Climate Partners is unparalleled with several national award winning projects over a sustained period of years," Ross noted. Ross Solar Group has multiple projects in progress, for which Climate Partners is providing Comfort and Energy Conservation solutions, to compliment Solar PV.

    Climate Partners won a 2013 ContractingBusiness.com Quality Home Comfort Award for an HVAC system upgrade in Stamford, CT.

    Ross Solar Group’s management anticipates that demand for comprehensive, integrated solutions will continue to increase, and their strategic alliance with Climate Partners will be a major differentiator in the marketplace. Of course renewable energy is a good idea, and of course conserving energy is a good idea, and obviously being comfortable year-round at home is at the top of every homeowner’s list. Ross Solar Group and Climate Partners can now provide exactly what value and environmentally conscious homeowners are looking for.

    Climate Partners specializes in award-winning quality home comfort and energy-saving design, installation, and service. They are locally owned and operated by the Casey Family, who have been keeping southern Connecticut homeowners comfortable and saving them money for three generations. Their professional, friendly staff includes several family members who are active in all facets of serving clients.

    “This alliance with Ross is a real-world example of the successful merger of renewable energy programs with integrated whole- home solutions that extend beyond the boxes,” says Climate Partners' Chief Quality Officer Tom Casey. “Integrating solutions to the building envelope to reduce consumption and loads with energy-efficient systems results in significantly improved home performance that extends outside renewables performance only. Integrated solutions are why we are excited about this opportunity."

    “Other contractors — quality firms — focus on renewable or HVAC solutions only, ignoring the bigger issues that drive the comfort and energy efficiency of a home,” Casey adds. “Integrated solutions such as those we can deliver with this strategic alliance are the future of quality home comfort and energy efficiency, because professional turnkey solutions must be integrated across all the clients’ goals and objectives. Quality home comfort and energy efficiency is more than HVAC or renewables: it’s whole home solutions aligned with the clients’ must-haves.”
