Our Mission
PowerLight is committed to making clean power a significant, mainstream source of the world's energy supply. Today, PowerLight is the nation's leading designer, manufacturer and installer of grid-connected, commercial solar electric products and systems.
Our full-service company provides customers with comprehensive energy solutions, from initial consultation to installation -- including project development, maintenance and financing. What's more, our patented photovoltaic (PV) products provide solar energy at the lowest possible cost in the industry, and are uniquely designed to install seamlessly onto existing building infrastructures -- without penetrations.
PowerLight's PV systems have helped customers create a hedge against future price increases in electricity, natural gas and fossil fuels. In turn, the environment is spared from harmful emissions that cause global warming, acid rain, and contribute to public health problems.
Here are a few of our top products:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PowerGuard is a patented PV roofing assembly that delivers clean solar electricity to the building while protecting the roof from damaging effects of weather and UV radiation.
PowerShade delivers clean solar electricity while providing shade for parked autos or picnic areas.
PowerTracker is a tracking PV structure that provides up to 30% more energy (kWh) than fixed PV structures, providing energy to either stand-alone or grid-connected systems.

Our Growth

Recognized as "one of the fastest growing privately-held businesses" by Inc Magazine, PowerLight has doubled annual revenues each year since 1997. Our proven track record and patented design makes us uniquely positioned to accelerate the global trend toward distributed generation, a market that is expected to approach $100 billion over the next ten years. PowerLight has dominated the US market for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, and expects to quickly become a major player in the European solar market this year.
PowerLight has invested millions of dollars in its research and development efforts with support from the US Department of Energy, the California Energy Commission and the New York State Energy Office. We intend to continue this investment in order to make clean power a significant and mainstream source of the world's energy supply -- one installation at a time.
PowerLight operates six offices worldwide, and owns an innovative manufacturing facility in Berkeley, California. |
