North Texas Renewable Energy Inc. is the oldest exclusive solar electric design and installation specialist in North Texas, originally doing business as Solar Source beginning in 1994. Incorporated in 2003 as North Texas Renewable Energy, NTREI has worked hard to survive in the very solar unfriendly state of Texas while continuing to set the standard of quality for installations of solar electric systems from the Red River to Glen Rose. NTREI specializes in tracker mounted PV arrays.

With 17 years of training, instructing and hands-on experience, Jim Duncan is without question one of the pioneers in the solar PV industry in Texas.
