Solar solutions provider ecoSolargy has been recognized with a 2014 SCORE Award Honorable Mention. SCORE awards “celebrate and honor successful and innovative entrepreneurs who inspire us all and the small business advocates who support entrepreneurship in America.” Presentations were made during a special ceremony in Washington, DC.
“We’re grateful for this recognition of our hard work bringing the benefits of solar energy to many American businesses and homes,” said Alan H. Lee, CEO of ecoSolargy. “It’s been a strong year for our company in 2014, and we’re looking forward to ever greater success in 2015.”
Lee founded ecoSolargy as a solar panel manufacturer in 2009. Today, it has three divisions: 1) wholesaler of solar products, 2) project developer to commercial tenants and building owners who want to take advantage of solar tax credits to save money and reduce use of electricity and 3) consultant to firms that want to develop solar-generation facilities. It sells all needed solar products for a project, and offers manufacturer-direct pricing.
Lee added, “Most manufacturers don’t sell inverters and racking and most distributors don’t have factory direct pricing. ecoSolargy offers both.”
The firm’s Irvine headquarters is a model of the benefits a company can derive from solar power; the building has four separate solar arrays, which offset 80% of the facility’s electricity usage.
