SBS Solar - About Us

Ralph Walters has long ties to electrical work, working as a Lamp Operator, Best Boy electrician, and Gaffer, on multiple television shows and feature films for multiple production companies over a 15 year span. Ralph’s enthusiasm for renewable energy was developed throughout his childhood growing up on his family farm in Southwest Colorado and during his time as a studio electrician, leading him to continue his education at SEI (Solar Energy International). Ralph completed his certifications from SEI’s Peonia, Colorado campus and Mastatal Costa Rica campus, in solar photovoltaics-installation & design in 2011. Jaime and Ralph met on an ABC Family television series and the rest is history, as they say. After Ralph’s time at SEI, Ralph and Jaime met Dan and Becky Brandborg, serendipitously, at the Missoula Clean Energy Fair hosted by Climate Smart in 2014. Shortly after, Dan invited Ralph to the team at SBS Solar , where Ralph continued his training working his way up to project manager. In 2020 Ralph and Jaime partnered with Dan and Becky in ownership of SBS Solar, and continue to work diligently as operations managers, while Becky and Dan continue to take on other exciting avenues in land stewardship, community outreach, and renewable energy education. “
