About Our Logo

Starfire Energy was founded by Jennifer and Joe Beach to realize their vision of making sustainable energy a reality. It is realizing that vision by providing solar energy systems to people for their homes and businesses.

Starfire Energy supports the growth and success of the renewable energy industry in Colorado by being a member of the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association (CoSEIA), the Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES), the Colorado Energy Science Center (CESC), and the American Solar Energy Society (ASES).

Starfire Energy also supports solar energy education in the community. We are part of the CRES Speakers Bureau and we are also providing materials and advice to a group of high school students at the Denver School of Science and Technology who are designing and building a solar charged electric go-kart for their senior project.

About Our Logo

The spiral in the body of the sun on our logo is a depiction of the Maori koru symbol. The koru is based on the unfurling of a fern frond, and represents creation or new beginnings. Starfire Energy is a new beginning for its founders, and it seeks to establish a new way of sustainably powering our society. We are creating the change we want to see in the world. The photo to the right shows an unfurling fern frond. It is provided courtesy of the Wikimedia Commons, a wonderful project that lets people share their creativity.
