Why Listen to Me?

"You shouldn't have to make a five-figure energy decision based on a sales presentation."
— Carol Cole-Lewis
Hi, I'm Carol Cole-Lewis, Founder of Upstart Energy.
I've spent a decade helping homeowners understand solar, batteries, and energy decisions without the pressure that often comes with the industry.
I'm an Amazon Best-Selling Author of Go Solar With Confidence and an independent consultant.
My goal isn't to convince you that solar is right for you.
My goal is to help you determine whether it makes sense for your specific situation.
If it does, I can also help you explore installation options through my partnership with Powur PBC.
If it doesn't, I'll tell you that, too, along with alternative suggestions where possible.
During Your Clarity Call We Will:
Review your home and energy usage
Discuss rising utility costs and current market conditions
Determine whether solar and battery storage deserve further consideration
Answer your questions honestly
Help you understand next steps
If Solar Makes Sense
We'll show you what moving forward could look like.
If Solar Doesn't Make Sense
We'll tell you that, too, and suggest alternative options, where possible.
