As California continues to see the expansion of solar energy and more homeowners recognize the benefits, the industry continues its rapid growth. Semper Solaris has led the charge in the emerging market by establishing themselves as a top solar company in California. Our efforts were recently acknowledged with a positon on the prestigious Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies list for 2017.
This list is reserved for companies across the country who have seen substantial financial growth. Among the companies awarded include leading mobile-gaminging companies, technology support providers, innovative production organizations, and our very own California-based solar company. It is an honor to be included on the inspiring list of “America’s greatest entrepreneurs” of the year.
Semper Solaris is incredibly proud to have ranked 712th for the 2017 Inc. 5000 and 17th among San Diego companies. Semper Solaris was founded in 2012 and we’re proud to have a 642% growth rate over the last three years. As the fastest growing licensed solar and roofing company in the state, we’ve been in the fortunate position to hire more veterans and help more customers save money on their electric bills!
Co-founder Kelly Shawhan attributes a growing recognition to the most recent success. “Semper Solaris has seen a tremendous amount of growth in the last couple years and it’s because the secret is out on solar energy.” He continued, “customers are seeing their electric bills drop to almost zero and know that they are working with a company they can trust.”
That secret is definitely out; the energy industry is currently ranked in the top three fastest growing industries in the U.S., posting a 174% increase.
Our veteran-owned company was founded with the mission to make harnessing solar energy more accessible to homeowners. More than that, we want to make sure our customer always comes first. As the leading solar panel dealer in California, Semper Solaris continues to make waves; both among the top companies in the U.S. and throughout our local community.
When it comes to being selected to the Inc. 5000, we know that operating with integrity, military values, treating our clients with great care, and bringing on a team of hardworking men and women (including many former military veterans) is pivotal to our success.
We are grateful for all our clients who have trusted us to provide solar installations over the years and are looking forward to continuing our growth even further for years to come!
