PRINCIPAL TECHNOLOGY AND ENERGY ANALYST
Jonathan Luck
For the last 20 years, Mr. Luck has been involved in solar energy harvesting and storage. He is experienced in many different solar technologies including; solar cell design, solar peak-power tracking, solar shading mitigation techniques, and the interpretation of world insolation (light) levels. He pioneered the first use of a solar energy harvesting systems for the U. S. Department of Defense using high efficiency solar cells and ultra-capacitor storage arrays.
About Jonathan Luck
Mr. Luck has authored several patents involved with ultra-low power circuit design, solar energy storage and management systems and wildfire detection systems. He continues to keep current on the latest developments in solar cell technologies as well as on lithium battery and kinetic energy storage system developments.
Mr. Luck’s extensive engineering experience has trained him to be an analytical, insightful, and a highly-disciplined solutions architect and problem solver. Throughout his executive career, he has successfully applied the principles of preventative maintenance, proactive problem solving, staff development, and business administration to real-life corporate issues. This breadth of expertise covers a wide range of responsibilities, providing him with insights into the total operation.
He graduated from Reading University in the U.K. with a Bachelor of Science Honors Degree in Cybernetics, Instrument Physics and Advanced Mathematics. He was certified in the Principals of Market Research at the University of Westminster (formerly the Polytechnic of Central London) following a one year program.
Mr. Luck is committed to what he believes in and runs an all-electric smart home that incorporates one of the latest generation 10 KW solar arrays, a tankless water heater system and high efficiency LED lighting throughout. Both of his family cars are electric vehicles. Climate control is managed by zoned smart thermostats, and air quality is managed by several internet connected smoke and carbon monoxide sensors throughout the home. Yard vegetation watering is managed by smart, internet connected irrigation controllers that adjust watering schedules based on local weather station data around the county. He monitors and controls all of this technology 24/7 from his smart phone.
Apart from technology, his passions range from continually renovating his mid-century modern home, home theater design, smart home implementation, water-wise landscaping, on and off grid solar solutions, electric vehicles, reading, equestrian videography and saving rescue animals.
Principal Client Liaison and Project Manager
Stephen Luck
Throughout his 30 year career, Mr. Luck has gained considerable insight and experience into product and project development, with particular focus on assisting companies with their commercialization of innovative technologies. He is experienced in strategic and financial planning across a wide range of business sectors, including renewable energy and alternative fuels.
About Stephen Luck
With a passion for renewable energy resources, Mr. Luck has spent the last 15 years consulting on a number of energy programs including an ambitious Coal to Liquid Fuel project, and a distributed renewable resource power generation program called Solar Route 66. He additionally worked with a renewable energy company supporting their development programs designed to integrate solar and fuel cell technologies into commercial buildings, non-profit institutions and residences.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Luck worked with an inventor of a diverse portfolio of renewable energy products, identifying critical elements in the product supply chain as well as developing marketing programs and materials used in raising corporate financing. He has supported real estate development projects, from strip malls to large resort projects, with a special focus on the integration of appropriate renewable energy technologies.
Educated in London England and trained in advanced mechanical engineering, Mr. Luck began his professional career working with Rolls Royce in the aero engine division. As a relentless innovator, he designed, developed, produced and patented a hand-assist wrench to support people with arthritis. Following a move to the U.S., he worked with an irrigation company to support the installation of specialized solar powered irrigation control systems for commercial, municipal and residential clients. He assisted the inventor of a unique "super high efficiency" electric motor by developing test and demonstration procedures, marketing and presentation materials, and supported the inventor’s efforts in securing patent protection.
Today, Mr. Luck’s passion for innovation and alternative energy solutions are directly focused on helping people realize homes that are greener, smarter and more energy efficient encouraging, where possible, achieving energy independence.

I am very pleased we hired Your Energy Pros to complete the analysis of our solar energy requirements, select the best company to install our system, supervise daily the work as it was completed and finally to solve a problem we were having with San Diego Gas and Electric in obtaining our license to operate our solar system.
I am not an engineer and cannot determine whether or not a roof or solar system is being installed properly. Consequently, I looked for a company that could provide the supervisory skills to make certain all the repairs and installations were being properly completed. In addition, if any problems occurred with regard to the warranties, I wanted a company to call that would take responsibility to make certain the warranties were honored.
Your Energy Pros had all the skills needed to fulfill my goals. I recommend highly contacting Your Energy Pros to evaluate your solar needs, hire the contractors and supervise all work.

Where do I start? First, for any guidance regarding anything solar, Call Mr. Steve Luck of YOUR ENERGY PROS. Why, I'm sure everyone remembers the torrential rains of winter 2018/19. I certainly do. 2 roof leaks in February on my 30+ year old original roof. Knowing I would need a complete "lift and relay" of my tile roof, I knew I would have to float a loan for repair and if so decided to include a PV solar installation as well. During my search for a Roofing contractor and Solar contractor I was referred to "YOUR ENERGY PROS" by one of the Roofing Contractors I had contacted. I received a call from Mr. Steve Luck. We chatted on the phone for well over 1 hour. He presented himself and his partner as Consultants for potential PV solar customers, with no particular allegiance to any solar product manufacturer nor any particular solar installation company. Their only goal is to interview and work with potential customers to help them obtain the solar system that best fit the needs of the new solar system owner. I explained I was a retired Factory HVAC service technician and somewhat self-taught solar guy having recently built a small "off grid" solar system in Baja. Our discussion included the urgency I was under with the leaking roof and soon to expire Federal tax credit. Also, including my scheduled double knee replacement surgery late February. Over the next 2 months I interviewed 3 roofing contractors and 4 solar contractors (including one shyster contractor) all while consulting with Steve of Your Energy Pros. With his help we went through three design changes and I signed a contract for installation of my system which began immediately after my roof repairs were completed. My solar system was installed in 4 days over the following 2 weeks due to persistent spring rains. I could not be happier!
