About us
In 2012, Cliff Kaehler left his New York City job in renewable energy finance because of his desire to make energy cheaper, cleaner, and more accessible for rural communities back home. Along with his parents Ralph and Mena, Cliff started Novel Energy Solutions at his family’s 130-year-old farm in Saint Charles, Minnesota. Growing up as a fifth-generation farmer, Cliff saw friends and family experience rising electricity costs eating away at already slim agricultural margins. Clean energy, like solar, required up-front investment that made for slow adoption, and financing options were sparse. However, with his unique skill set Cliff was able to create a solar company that offered its own unique financing solution – by financing 100 percent of the upfront project cost and immediate customer savings, thereby removing any financial barrier. Since then, Novel has grown to offer not just on-site solar for customers, but a full energy management company. Novel Energy helps customers enjoy the savings and benefits of solar, whether they want it for their home, farm, business, as well as for non-profits, religious organizations, and governments.
