The Story of Sol-Ice:

Everyone loves a good story and our CEO Loves to tell them (sometimes the same ones over and over and over) The story of Sol-Ice is worth reading.

Summer of 1994 was the dawn of a new era in roofing. To Dennis Duce it seemed life was normal and he was only trying to provide for his new wife. Three crucial events collided in his life resulting in an obsession with ice dams, their formation and anatomy.

Dennis had just invested in a Condo at the base of what would soon become the massive Canyons Ski Resort. Shortly after moving into the Condo and starting to remodel it the roofing contractor he was working for refused to pay all of his wages. Never one to sit back and wait for things to happen he started a roof repair company and within weeks the phone began to ring with referrals.

“Duce Roofing How can I help you?”

“I have a leak that comes back every winter and I need some heat cable, do you install heat cable?”

“Yes of course we do!” Dennis said enthusiastically “Let me get your name, phone number and address”

He hung up the phone and immediately called his supplier. “What is heat cable? What does it do? Oh yeah, one last question, do you sell it?”

From a young age I have always been curious of the world around me trying to figure out how things worked and knew how to work a VCR by the age of 3.  I always built things and took them apart to see how they worked and thought how I could make them better.  I have had an interest in technology and design ever since I could remember.  I was always the problem solver in projects and groups.  I love thinking of new ideas and looking at the world around me trying to find ways to change it for the better.  I have a applied associates in drafting and design from utah valley university and I am passionate about green technology and alternative energy.  I am proficient in the Autodesk Suite, Microstation and SolidWorks When I do get free time away from school and work I like to go camping in the beautiful Utah Mountains, boating in any of our lakes and Reservoirs (yes even the Great Salt Lake), snowboarding at the Canyons Ski Resort or Park City (Too Bad they wont let me Snowboard at Deer Valley yet) and designing anything from my dream house to a copy of my projector (okay I am a bit of a design nut!).

 

 

Lolovee Rogers Duce | SVP and Big Dog | Has no Email | Does not like phones

Lalovee Duce

Lolavee is in every way a Big Dog with no idea how big he is. His duties at Sol-Ice revolve around his innate ability to love unconditionally, hug a 6′ human standing up, protect his best friends “The Kitties” Thunder, Bear Morley and Stink. Play with everyone no matter how small or yappy (He lives “Play Harder” better than any one at Sol-Ice though we are still working on the “Work Smarter” part of that Core Value). He “Gives 77.7%” to his most important duty SLEEP (hey you would sleep a lot too if you where that big)! His favorite activity is training for a marathon with his Daddy (Dennis). I don’t think they will let him run in the marathon but he sure loves to pull hard on the training runs.
Because of his character and personality he is called “Puppy” far more often then Lalovee which brings stares and giggles when we are at the dog park or his favorite store Petco (Though he is not sure what those little things Daddy calls treats are that they give out at the check out. They are way too small to really be treats).
PVT or Photovoltaic/Thermal products have historically not worked well but Sol-Ice has a cost effective solution to produce solar thermal from behind any Photovoltaic panel. Watch this 40 second video to learn more.

This is a great video about how to get rid of ice dams FOREVER. At Sol-Ice No More Ice Dams! is not just a slogan it is a way of life.
