Leadership
A Passion for Solar Excellence with Thousands of Completed Installations
Passionate people tend to get very good at what they do. In 1976, when engineer and solar pioneer Gary Gerber founded the company, not many people knew about solar energy. Since then he has helped assemble one of the industry's most talented groups of engineers and installers. They bring to each project unparalleled expertise, innovative solutions, energy-efficient solar technologies and outstanding customer service.
Engineering Expertise and a Personal Touch for Every Installation
- We strive for superior engineering on challenging projects, commercial or residential
- Our staff includes specialists in engineering, construction, electrical systems, CAD and financing
- We believe a personal touch and taking the time to educate our customers is important
"B stands for Benefit"
Sun Light & Power is proud to announce that we have become a Certified B Corporation™.
B Corporations are a new kind of corporate designation that:
- Use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.
- Are the foundations of a new sector of the economy that communicates with the amplified voice of other like-committed sustainable businesses.
- Meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and most importantly, accountability.
- Measure impact on our employees, suppliers, community, customers and the environment.
A Company Culture That Believes in Solar – and Working Green
- Our company culture values “walking the talk.” Perhaps the greenest solar company in California, our fleet of trucks runs on bio-diesel. Our President, Gary, commutes via an electric car and many of the staff bike to work. The offices use recycled furniture and carpets.
- We believe deeds speak louder than words. It’s no accident that Sun Light & Power is the first renewable energy contractor to have achieved certification by the Alameda County Green Business Program.
We create living environments that serve people’s intrinsic needs, supporting the human spirit and preserving the planet’s resources for future generations.
