David Funk's Energy Expertise: Unlocking the Power of ZEN
David Funk is a "farmer" by marriage. His marriage into a 6th generation family farm has allowed him to deploy his energy expertise to an operation focused on continued improvement and land stewardship.
His background in utility & commercial solar, battery storage, and electric vehicles allowed him to take a leadership role in accessing grants for rural businesses as a passionate side project. Now it's his job!

Our principles
Honesty
Supporting our neighbors
The first step is the hardest
I'll tell you the truth about your project and your fleet. Electrification is a wonderful solution but it's not the only solution.
An often understated benefit of electrification is the circular nature of the business. I want to keep these savings in our communities to encourage other innovation and entrepreneurship.
The first farmer to switch from horses to tractors was brave. Solar, EVs, or energy efficiency need to be encouraged and supported.
