Solar Site Assessor
Freedom Solar Power
Company Overview
Freedom Solar Power
Austin, TX, United States
2007
Approximately 600 employees and revenue of $464 million in 2023 (source: zoominfo.com).
What They Do
Freedom Solar Power focuses exclusively on solar photovoltaic technology, acting as a full-service installer without involvement in wind, storage, hydrogen, or grid services beyond basic integration (source: freedomsolarpower.com). The company provides end-to-end residential and commercial solar systems, handling sales, custom design, permitting, in-house installation, and ongoing maintenance. Previously, it was a master dealer of high-efficiency SunPower panels, but the recent bankruptcy of SunPower has impacted its operations (source: prevostlawfirm.com). Residential customers benefit from tailored rooftop systems that come with a 25-year "bumper to bumper" warranty covering power production, products, and workmanship, although there have been complaints regarding service claims amid SunPower's failure (source: freedomsolarpower.com). The company serves residential homeowners in Texas, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, alongside hundreds of commercial clients nationwide, including notable businesses like Whole Foods and Office Depot (source: prevostlawfirm.com).
Projects & Track Record
By 2022, Freedom Solar had installed a cumulative 157 megawatts as SunPower's top master dealer, enough to power tens of thousands of homes, following 80 megawatts by 2020 expansions (source: freedomsolarpower.com). The company has completed thousands of residential and major commercial projects, including installations for Whole Foods and Office Depot since its inception (source: prevostlawfirm.com). Freedom Solar constructed some of Texas's largest early solar projects, starting as an installation specialist in 2007, and served 7,000 residential customers by 2020 (source: energysage.com). Although no specific current or ongoing major projects are detailed in recent disclosures, the company continues its national commercial operations alongside residential growth (source: freedomsolarpower.com).
Recent Developments
In the last two years through 2024, Freedom Solar settled a U.S. government claim for $425,710 over alleged improper receipt of a Paycheck Protection Program loan, without admitting wrongdoing (source: prevostlawfirm.com). The company received a corporate minority investment from SunPower on March 31, 2022, as part of the Dealer Accelerator Program to boost local solar businesses, marking its latest funding after a 2018 unattributed round (source: cbinsights.com). Expansions included new offices in Raleigh-Durham NC by 2022, highlighting 15 years of experience and 157 MW installed (source: freedomsolarpower.com). However, SunPower's recent bankruptcy has created challenges for Freedom Solar, as it installed their panels and components, potentially invalidating manufacturer warranties and shifting repair burdens despite the company's own workmanship coverage (source: prevostlawfirm.com).
Working There
Freedom Solar hires across various departments including sales, design, permitting, installation, and service for its fully integrated teams, with roles likely concentrated in residential operations in Texas and Florida, as well as national commercial divisions (source: freedomsolarpower.com). Openings appear at all listed offices, including the Austin TX headquarters, San Antonio TX, Grapevine TX, Houston TX, Colorado Springs CO, Denver CO, Tampa FL, Orlando FL, Chesapeake VA, and expansions like Raleigh-Durham NC and Charlotte SC (source: energysage.com). The company culture emphasizes teamwork, accountability, transparency, and humility, as reflected in its values such as "Put People First" and "Have a Humble Heart" (source: freedomsolarpower.com). While specific benefits packages are not publicly documented, the company's long-term service commitments are underscored by its 25-year warranties; however, job seekers should be aware of customer complaints on warranty service and the 2024 PPP settlement as potential stability indicators (source: prevostlawfirm.com).
