USMC veteran-founded solar installation company in Fenton, MO since 2008. LG Solar, Enphase, and SolarEdge certified. BBB A+ rated. 300+ systems installed across the greater St. Louis metro.
Kyle Bates founded proSOLAR after recognizing a gap in the St. Louis solar market: most installs were being done by out-of-state national companies that disappeared after the sale. No local service. No accountability. No one who knew your system.
proSOLAR was built to be different — a solar company that designs systems honestly, uses certified equipment, and is still here answering the phone 15 years after your installation. The same values instilled by military service: honest assessment, precise execution, and full accountability for the mission.
4th-generation military family. Founded proSOLAR in 2008 after recognizing that St. Louis homeowners and businesses deserved a solar company with local accountability. Personally involved in every system design and installation quality review.
Randy has guided hundreds of St. Louis homeowners and business owners through the solar decision process. Known for straight answers and honest savings projections. He answers the phone.
