About Craig Pals

In 2006, my brother, Eric Pals, and I co-founded Tick Tock Energy, Inc, located in Central Illinois. At the time, the solar PV industry was in its infancy (we are the “OG” Tick Tock spelled with “Cs” and not the app Tik Tok, which came much later). My day-to-day responsibilities include: Leading large commercial sales and project development efforts Providing operational support to the overall team Driving growth and company vision I’m an expert at retrofitting commercial and residential buildings to reduce energy use by successfully applying solar solutions for building applications. I also pride myself on building a team focused on quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. “,℠”. As a 30+ year veteran of the solar, small-wind, and energy-efficiency industries, I have a broad background in: Mechanical Engineering Construction Commercial building energy retrofits Energy modeling Financial analysis Facilities management Real estate investing Organic gardening and orcharding I am licensed Professional Engineer in the State of California, Certified Energy Manager (CEM), and Green Building Engineer (GBE). Personally, I’ve traveled to all 50 United States and a handful of foreign countries. I grew up in a small, tight-knit, midwestern town and lived my 20’s in Orange County, CA followed by my 30’s in the city of Los Angeles. Annually, I grow over 750 lbs. of fresh home-grown organic produce, fruit, and nuts. I believe an atmosphere rich in CO2 helps plants grow and a diverse energy mix will ultimately lead to lowest environmental impact. I'm passionate about diversifying our energy and food supply by capturing the sun's abundance to electrify buildings and grow food locally at the point of consumption, ’ 2006.
