The rooftop solar industry has been one of the fastest-growing industries nationwide for the past several years. There are over 373,807 workers in solar power in the United States, according to the January 2017 Department of Energy report.
When Sullivan started his company in 2004, there were about 20 companies in San Diego doing solar. California Solar Initiative data shows there were 765 companies that did solar power installations in the San Diego Gas & Electric territory in 2016 alone. While the number of companies doing solar this year has decreased, the solar industry remains very saturated, especially in the nation’s solar capital San Diego.
“Sullivan Solar Power has been able to differentiate ourselves through a rigorous quality control process, offering solar education instead of a sales pitch, credibility from high-profile commercial clients and turning customers into solar advocates,” said Sullivan who credits his customers for spreading the word about going solar, helping grow his company each year.
Sullivan Solar Power is the only company in San Diego or Orange County to hold the prestigious North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioner (NABCEP) Company Accreditation, and just one of seven companies in North America with this accreditation. Some of Sullivan Solar Power’s commercial clients include UC San Diego, San Diego State University, Encinitas Union School District, Port of San Diego, Port of Long Beach, City of Chula Vista and UC Irvine.
