Rocky Grove Sun Company is one of the most established solar energy companies in Arkansas and was one of the first appropriate technology businesses in this region. Jimis Damet established the business in 1987 to serve the Ozarks, Arkansas, and the surrounding states. Both he and Flint Richter are NABCEP certified and have over 35 years of combined experience in PV stand alone and grid-tied, wind and hydro systems.
Rocky Grove is a place in southeast Madison Co. originally settled by J.W.Whitmire and his family in the late 1880’s. Whitmire developed a waterwheel powered grist-mill on Felkins Creek and provided a community service to grind corn for surrounding homesteads. In the spirit of that waterwheel, Rocky Grove Sun Co. was established to provide the surrounding area with a service: access to information, products, and systems promoting sustainable lifestyles.
