1. Solar energy is renewable and works with the sun which is a constant power source. We never have to worry about running out of sunlight.
    
2. Solar energy is environmentally friendly. Solar cells do not release any toxic gases into the air.
    
3. Solar panels are extremely reliable and require little or no maintenance. With no moving parts there is nothing to replace.
    
4. Solar cells do not make any noise while they collect energy, no other renewable energy sources are completely quiet.
    
5. CPS Energy and federal tax credits provide incentives for people purchasing solar energy systems. These incentives can pay for up to 70% of your system.
    
6. Solar energy systems can cut your electric bill in half by providing energy during peak usage hours.
    

Current Local Rebates Available

CPS Energy: CPS Energy Solar Initiative Rebate program is currently offering an incentive of $2.50 per AC watt based on expected performance of a system less than 25kW.

Federal Tax Credit: Recently extended until 2016, a 30% tax credit has been issued for residential PV systems that meet fire and electrical codes.

GVEC: GVEC Solar Initiative Rebate program is currently offering an incentive of $2.50 per DC watt up to $10,000.

1. Solar panels capture sunlight
   The conversion to solar power begins the moment sunlight reaches the panels. The sunlight creates a reaction in between the 2 layers of the panel creating static electricity which is then transferred into the inverter.
    
2. Inverter converts the power
   It changes direct current (DC) electricity that's produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used to run your home.
    
3. Power not used goes back into grid
   If you are not using more power than your solar panels are producing, the excess power created is then sold back to the utility company.
    
4. Your monthly utility bill decreases
   Your system generates power usually during peak power usage (after 3pm), which means you will be receiving clean, renewable energy for a fraction of the price.
    
5. Rest easy at night
   By choosing solar energy to power your home you are not only helping the environment, you are making one of the smartest investments when it comes to your home.

New and advanced products in solar energy now make generating clean and efficient solar power a reality for homeowners. Add in generous rebates from CPS Energy, 30% federal tax credits, and lower manufacturers cost, there is no better time to invest in solar energy for your home or business. Photovoltaic (PV) Systems harness the sun’s energy by using solar cells to convert light into electricity.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT:
There is nothing more rewarding than owning your own home. But as all home owners know, routine maintenance is essential to preserving a properly functional home. Problems that go unchecked for too long can not only be costly to repair, they can lead to major issues down the road.

Just like any other product, electrical systems gradually deteriorate with use, age, and increased demand. Electrical Systems installed years ago never anticipated the demand we would place on them today. To ensure the electrical integrity of your home, your electrical inspection should be up to date, defects corrected, and service upgraded, to meet your present and future demands.

To avoid serious problems and to maintain a safe home for you and your family, have your home's electrical system inspected by Hill Electric's trained and licensed electricians today.

WARNING SIGNS: WHAT TO LOOK FOR?

- Is your home 10 years or older?
- Has your home had a major renovation or addition in the past 10 years?
- Have you added any major appliances such as a freezer, or a larger AC unit?
- Do your lights often flicker or dim momentarily?
- Do your circuit breakers trip or fuses blow often?
- Are your outlet and switch plates hot to the touch or discolored?
- Do you hear crackling, sizzling, or buzzing from your outlets?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you should consider having a qualified, licensed electrician perform an electrical inspection of your home.

- Your home's electrical system should be inspected every few years by a trained, licensed professional.

Billy Hill cites two major markers in his life thus far—becoming a Christian in 1984 and a second event that goes like this:

"In 1971 a buddy of mine invited me and my wife to go to a little church over on Nacogdoches Road. As we were walking out after the service, the pastor shook my hand and asked about me and what I did for a living. At the time I had just quit my job selling life insurance and had recently married. I told him I didn’t know. I just gambled for a living, drank beer and had a good old time.

"He invited us over for a humble dinner of beans and ham. He asked what work I would like to do, and I told him I wanted to be an electrician. He said he knew a friend who owned an electric contracting company, and he would try and get me an interview.

"I started work that very first day, digging ditches, and stayed with that company for 35 years. At the end I was part owner and vice president when the company went public.

"The man who hired me was Bob Weik, founder of Bexar Electric, and the preacher who introduced us was worldrenowned pastor, John Hagee, Cornerstone Church.

"The combination of those two events has driven, dominated and dictated 95 percent of my life, and Hill Electric is the result."

Tell me about Hill Electric.
Hill Electric is a very unique start-up company. Although we have only been in business since last August, our company is comprised of more experience and knowledge than most others in the city. Four of the five key employees have over three decades of service in the business.

We had worked together, very successfully, in the customer service arena, from the ‘70s into the late ‘90s, when with Bob, we went public under IES, and soon grew to the largest electrical contractor in the United States.

After all that success, why did you start a new business?
I wanted to get back to the mom-and-pop shop of the ‘70s, but with the 21st-century tools and technology. After going public, the market took on the negative consequence of global economics — the data com bubble bursting, the imploding of Enron and their unfair practices, and 9/11. I found it more challenging to do in the public arena than what I could do in the private sector.

Why is that?
I feel by establishing a privately owned company we can give the best in customer service, whether it’s changing a light bulb or designing a medical office building for a development company. We are working for each other and our customers, not for Wall Street.

Did this move create any waves?
We didn’t leave Bexar Electric. Our choice was to leave the public arena and get back to the private. Bob has spun off many companies here in San Antonio in 42 years. You can only imagine how many electricians, company owners, and even electrical inspectors have been influenced by Bob Weik.

Working for Bob was such a blessing and he gave me so much autonomy to do the job. He allows individuals to work in the way they design in order to accomplish an end.

Do you consider Weik your mentor?
Yes. He was one of those rare out-of-the-garage type successes. He gave me my education, my street sense. All of my education in the business I owe to mentoring under Bob.

Do you face any special challenges in a new business?
These many years of experience have really scripted us and groomed us for the challenges that we have to overcome in a brand-new business. We don’t have to wait two to three years to learn. We’ve been there, done that.

Where do you want to take Hill Electric?
In the next 20 years, we are going to grow the company relative to our employees’ wants and needs, and our customers’. Monetary benefits are not the driving force of what we do: they’re just the result.

We always planned to grow and build from the inside. All of us here started from the field and have grown from there. From 2006 as we move into 2007 and 2008 we’re probably going to cap it off at about $4-4.5 million and then see what direction we as a group want to go.

How many employees do you have?
We currently have 20 and will grow to 45. Employees who come to Hill Electric have the same character and values that mirror Hill Electric. This is such an eclectic company, made up of the best of the best in different areas they work in. We want the same for our field employees so they can mirror our philosophy and communicate it to the end user.

Who do you surround yourself with?
It’s the people who make up a company. This group worked so well together in the past.

Trudy Zaruba has worked for me for 13 years, and is the left half of my brain and handles administration.

Mark Vargo has worked with me for over 35 years and has grown to be a very high-level customer service representative.

Gary Koontz has worked with me for 15 years. His forte` is in serving all the property managers here in San Antonio.

Richard Denehy has been in the trade for almost 50 years and with me for 17 years. He is my estimator and designer.

What will the focus of work be at Hill Electric?
We focus on customer service in all areas of electrical, whether that customer is a developer, architect, general contractor or individual homeowner. We do design-build, standard commercial lease space finish-out and office building and apartment building service.

How’s business so far?
Our want for business is definitely being filled. Our experience is quite diversified and our relationships have been well-established. People found out that we have grouped together and formed a private company, so the phones are ringing quite well.

Any interesting projects on the horizon?
We have a project in the planning stages at a landfill installing a generation system to capture methane gas, turn it into electricity and sell it back to City Public Service.

Another unique project is designing and installing lightning protection in pastures for a rancher to protect his valuable horses.

We just finished a project at a 14-story office building where we shut down the main distribution system that powers the whole building, made repairs and had it back on line before the sun was up the next morning.

With all this work, do you have time for family?
Yes, of course. My wife, Vickie and I have been married since 1969. She has supported me all along. We started out poor as dirt, and lived in a little mobile home on a borrowed piece of property. We have inspired each other over the years. We look for change, rather than react to it.

Where did you grow up?
I was born and raised in San Antonio. I graduated in 1966 from Sam Houston High School and immediately went into the work force doing various jobs and then selling life insurance.

Tell me about your parents.
Not much to tell. They passed on years ago. As an only child, I knew them as very hard workers. My dad was a submarine hero in WWII, and then worked the rest of his life on the railroad. They also afforded me the latitude to do pretty much what I figured needed to be done—some good, some bad.

Do you have children?
Two more blessings. Our daughter, Vanessa, is studying to be a pulmonary pediatrician, and her husband, Barry, is an anesthesiologist. Our son, Billy Ross, attends Texas State University and works in sales.

What do you enjoy doing as a family?
Our family includes our church, First Baptist Church of Universal City. Vickie splits her time between that and our 3-year-old grandson, Cole. We share our time here and at our beautiful lake home on Lake Buchanan. I think now I will be able to focus on that more than before.

What do you look forward to the most for the future in business and life?

I guess, for me, business and life are really one. This move has allowed me to better focus on both, regaining perspective, balance and a more defined purpose. I’ll strive to leave a legacy in each of the two.

I would pray that it would include commitment to God, family and each other; prudence and wisdom in all; justice, chastity, and fairness; and lastly, an appreciation for the short life we’ve been given and the ability to capture the blessings of each day.
