Joe and his wife were thrown into the world of special needs for their son Garrett without warning. It’s difficult enough being parents of children without special needs. It’s a different challenge when your child has special needs, and you have no warning and don’t know where to turn.  The special needs world is not something you choose, but you come to really appreciate it, the gift these children really are.

Joe Rude Bio

Solar companies are everywhere these days, there are good ones and scammers. I am Joe “Mr. Sunshine” Rude. I spent 25 years in the Wayne, NJ Police Force. When I retired, I wanted to do something that could make a difference in my life, and the lives of my children.

As a resident of Wayne, NJ I live and work in the area. I work to make sure that each and every one of my customers understand the advantages of solar and feel comfortable that it is truly beneficial to not only the environment but to their pocketbook. 

We are local representatives for Powur one of the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies. The company is financially secure, and investor backed. Powur has well over 11,000 solar installations across the country. In fact, they were the first solar company to offset 100% of its emissions from manufacturing. To top it off, as a fully certified B-corp, Money from every installation goes to preserving millions of acres of the Amazon rainforest.
