Perry Bell is President of Solar Energy USA. His previous career saw him as co-President of one of the nation’s largest replacement window companies. Recognizing an opportunity in home energy efficiency and savings via the popular ENERGY STAR window offering, Mr. Bell made a transition and started an energy focused company.

Now, as the head of two energy related companies, Mr. Bell is taking the experiences learned in the home improvement world and radically changing the way home and business owners look at paying for power. Solar Energy USA, his first renewable energy venture, is a national provider ofAffordable Solar Solutions and the largest residential solar company in Georgia.

Net Zero USA, the most recent undertaking, exists to help others understand how energy reduction and energy production can have dramatic effects on a power bill. The term “net zero” refers to a home or building that has zero net energy consumption, or produces 100% of its own energy needs, and Net Zero USA is showing the world how great it is to be energy independent.
