Colby West brings a decade of experience in the solar industry, starting not in sales but in engineering. With degrees in Computer and Electrical Engineering, he began his career at SolarCity and Tesla in 2015, mastering the technical side of solar before ever sitting across the table from a homeowner. That foundation sets him apart. Today, Colby is not only a trusted solar advisor but also a mentor to consultants who want to ditch pressure-based tactics in favor of real education and transparency. His approach is rooted in technical clarity, customer respect, and helping families confidently take control of their energy future. Homeowners consistently praise his no-fluff, straight-shooter style, and he continues to earn their trust through every honest conversation.
Why Did You Decide to Join Powur?
After spending four years in corporate America, I realized that environment wasn’t for me. It was rigid, limiting, and didn’t offer the kind of flexibility or purpose I was looking for.
When I found Powur, everything changed. The platform gave me full control over how I run my business. I can work from anywhere, build a team of people I actually enjoy working with, and still stay close to what I care about—giving homeowners a clear, honest, and informed path to going solar.
What Is Your Favorite Thing About Helping Homeowners Go Solar?
My favorite part is giving people back their freedom. Most homeowners have only ever known one option for energy—the utility company. That’s just what they’ve been told to accept.
Solar changes that. It gives them another path, often one that’s more affordable and more empowering. I love being the person who opens that door and helps them understand what’s really possible. When I explain how the system works from a technical perspective and do it without pressure, it builds trust. That trust is everything to me.
Personal Passions
I’ve always been competitive. I play golf both recreationally and in tournaments, and I also bowl competitively. Beyond that, I’m passionate about traveling and spending time with my fiancée, family, and close friends. I like pushing myself, trying new things, and making memories wherever I go.
