Designing and Building the Evolution of Energy

Our Power, Our People

A Community of Creators

You’ll find among us architects, engineers, CPAs, master electricians, NABCEP-certified PV professionals, installers, project managers, and design consultants. Our goal is to illuminate your space and envision a new relationship to energy that empowers you and the people in your life. Lighthouse Solar serves our customers with integrity and humility. We have won numerous awards – including a 2020 Austin Green Award, an IREC Innovation Award, and APsystems Solar Project of the Year – for collaborative work with top construction companies, developers, and industry leaders. With each new system installed, we believe a new relationship to energy is possible.

The Lighthouse Way

A simple philosophy: We go beyond tangible services – project design, construction, electricity, and system maintenance – to animate a new way of being in the world.

In The Field

Sales Team

Solar energy is a technical solution. But it’s delivered in a social context. That’s why we attract people who exhibit empathy, whose backgrounds are not in solar, who bring life experiences from all over the world. We identify the right people, then layer on solar technical skills.

Project Management Team

Our project management team’s central goal is to ensure a transparent customer experience and a precise project delivery. The latest in automation and CRM technology augment our ability to remain efficient and accessible regardless of where you are on your solar journey.

Design Team

Solar system design for projects expected to meet an energy offset goal can be simple and straightforward. The talents of our team shine through most when asked to incorporate energy storage or to treat solar panels themselves as an element of architectural design.

Install Team

Our install teams are full-time employees who work with the latest technology and are adept at multiple systems, rooftops, and environmental conditions. Team members are all on a path to grow their knowledge and skill set through ongoing training and certifications.

Service Team

Lighthouse Solar staffs a full-time service team to respond to challenging events, like the 2021 Texas Winter Storm and ongoing maintenance schedules. Our install team members can matriculate to service roles upon achieving experience milestones.

Our Vision

Lighthouse Solar is committed to the adoption and advocacy of appropriate, effective, and integrated solar energy technologies in the places where people spend their lives.

Our customers appreciate that solar is more than a commodity. Together, we are rethinking physical space and the way we use energy. With each installation we complete, each neighbor we educate, each student we mentor, and each promise we honor, we can begin to see energy in a different light.

Great price, excellent service, very personal touch, the team really cared about getting us the best system at the right price. Lot’s of experience with all the permitting and financing process. Made it all a breeze!

Bill Corrigan

Lighthouse Solar installed panels on our home. We’ve produced more energy than we’ve used for the past few months, and have a nice fat credit to keep bills low during the summer. The team of Stan, Robb and Jeff and the crew were efficient and the panels look great. The tools to monitor the system are fun, and in the event of a power outage, we’ll be able to run some appliances off solar too. Very happy with Lighthouse Solar!

Collaborations

Lighthouse Solar is inherently collaborative. We are committed to building an ecosystem of partners that is greater than the sum of its parts. And by partners, we mean more than the organizations we have standing agreements with. They are the individuals, companies, associations, and movements that inspire us, challenge us, and share projects with us.
