Our Company

In 1992, founder and CEO Scotty Caroom set out to change the way schools used energy in the mid-south. From the beginning, Excel Energy Group’s ambition was to achieve two goals; furnish kids a better learning environment with enhanced lighting and save schools money. Over 27 years, Excel has upgraded more than 1,800 school districts in the US at a dollar value of more than $225 million. The company specializes in retrofitting or replacing inefficient lighting systems without subcontracting to third parties.

Excel Energy Group’s mission and vision has evolved through our continued growth as well. While we remain dedicated to those two goals, we have expanded our scope. We are committed to saving any organization (not just schools) money through customized energy efficient solutions while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprint.

Furthermore, by utilizing cutting-edge lighting technologies, we can improve working and learning environments by supplying cleaner, whiter, more natural looking light that requires less energy (and therefore less money) to obtain. We are so confident in our ability to save you money that we contractually guarantee your savings—if your decreased energy bills do not pay for the entire cost of the project, we will repay the difference.

Recently, Excel expanded into a new product line and has added solar power to our offerings. With the motto, “Reduce, then Produce”, we strive lower your usage load through converting your existing lighting technology to LED, then producing the power needed through clean, renewable, solar energy.

Excel serves educational, municipal government and health care markets across the nation and has completed over 1,800 energy savings projects in these sectors.
