Pro Terra Solar

What Pro Terra Solar does

Pro Terra Solar is a privately held, founder-led solar installation and services company headquartered in Derby, Kansas, operating across Kansas and Oklahoma. The company designs, sells, and installs residential and commercial grid-tied, off-grid, hybrid, rooftop, and ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, paired with Enphase and Franklin smart battery backup products. Its core equipment partners are QCells (Hanwha Solutions) for solar panels and Enphase and Franklin Whole House for energy storage, with URE as a secondary panel brand. The company also operates a Solar Labor Solutions service line that supplies certified installation crews and project managers to other solar firms as a B2B offering.

Pro Terra Solar operates a sales-led go-to-market motion combining field sales (in-person site surveys and energy cost analyses), inside sales via phone (1-844-4PROSUN), free no-obligation inspections, and event-driven demand capture around severe weather events in South Central Kansas and Tulsa. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time installation projects (residential and commercial solar), supplemented by repair and maintenance services, battery backup hardware sales, and roofing services delivered through affiliated Build Terra Roofing & Construction. The company markets a 25-Year Power Production Guarantee and 25-Year Workmanship Warranty as primary differentiators, holds an A+ BBB rating, and serves residential homeowners, commercial businesses (retail, multi-family, industrial), and storm-damage-affected properties across its two-state footprint.

The company emerged from the 2019 partnership between Sterling Condit, founder of SRI Wind Solar (one of the first three solar companies in Kansas, established 2008), and Michael Terhune, a construction industry veteran who entered residential solar in 2019. The two serve as co-owners, with Condit as Founder/Owner and Terhune as C.E.O. Residential/Owner. The business is a Kansas LLC with no external investors or parent company disclosed, and no public revenue, funding, or headcount figures are available in the source material.
