BY ASSEMBLY DISTRICT #56 AND ASSEMBLYMEMBER V. MANUEL PEREZ

Hot Purple Energy – with a focus on the “Energy”— was recently named 56th Assembly District’s “2014 Small Business of the Year.” Owners Nate Otto, President, and David Herrlinger, Vice President, will travel to Sacramento on June 16th to participate in a recognition event sponsored by the California Small Business Association.

Assemblyman V. Manuel Perez selected Hot Purple Energy among 80 other small businesses being honored, out of 3.3 million of them operating in the state of California.

“As our future moves toward sustainability and as more people realize that they can take control of their energy future and costs, we are witnessing a significant increase in solar power companies forming,” said Assemblyman V. Manuel Perez, the Assistant Majority Floor Leader of the California State Assembly. “Hot Purple Energy has risen above the others with their distinctive approach to raise awareness about the importance and benefits of energy conservation and solar power, and their continued interaction with the community as a whole in the Coachella Valley is highly commendable.”

“We started off pursuing our passion in protecting the environment and raising awareness of sustainability on a personal level when we founded Hot Purple Energy, which followed with a heightened interest in working for our company while also attracting clients who realized our commitment to them and our mission,” said President Nate Otto of Hot Purple Energy. “It is extremely rewarding to be named a Business of the Year among only a select group of small businesses in the state – and to be the only comprehensive energy solutions company in that small group as well.”

Earlier this year Hot Purple Energy was also recognized as a “Renewable Business Leader,” by Assemblyman V. Manuel Perez. Other recent accolades for Hot Purple Energy include the “Intelegant Award of Excellence” from SunPower Corporation, and a monetary recognition from the City of Palm Springs for promoting sustainability and for donating a solar system to the city for its mobile stage.
