Venture Solar

Company Overview

Name

Venture Solar

Headquarters

Brooklyn, New York, United States

Founded

2015

Size

Approximately 300 employees (source: venturesolar.com).

What They Do

Venture Solar focuses exclusively on solar photovoltaic (PV) installation technology, specializing in high-efficiency SunPower solar panel systems optimized for energy production. The company pairs these systems with advanced in-home monitoring controls and comprehensive warranties, ensuring that all installation, design, and service work is performed in-house rather than outsourced. This approach allows Venture Solar to maintain strict quality control throughout the installation process (source: venturesolar.com). Their core services include providing full end-to-end solar power systems for both residential homeowners and commercial business owners, enabling significant reductions in electric bills through clean energy generation and access to tax credits. Positioned as a one-stop shop, Venture Solar aims to deliver a "world-class product with world-class service" based on the founders' extensive prior industry experience (source: entrepreneur.com). The company primarily targets homeowners and businesses in the Northeast United States, with service areas that encompass New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania (source: venturesolar.com). Competitively, it differentiates itself through its in-house operations model, exponential growth driven by referrals, and an exclusive early partnership with SunPower, which has earned it multiple awards, including the 2017 "Residential Regional Dealer of the Year" and "Residential Regional Top Producer of the Year" (source: venturesolar.com).

Projects & Track Record

A key milestone in Venture Solar's track record is the completion of its 1,000th solar installation in New York City in 2017, just three years after its founding. By that point, the company had served over 1,000 customers, although specific project names, capacities in megawatts, and costs are not detailed in available records (source: venturesolar.com). Ongoing expansions as of 2018 included the rollout of services to Nassau County starting in January 2018 and the establishment of full Long Island operations with a new office and warehouse by September 2018. This expansion was aimed at enhancing service for hundreds more customers and broadening their coverage across the Northeast (source: venturesolar.com). While the company has not documented any major projects post-2018, its foundational alliance with SunPower for high-efficiency panels remains a significant aspect of its operations, with primary clients being individual homeowners and local businesses seeking to save on their energy bills (source: entrepreneur.com). Geographically, Venture Solar's presence is concentrated in the Northeast U.S., with its headquarters in Brooklyn, a branch in Long Island, and service expansion reaching ten states by its latest scope (source: venturesolar.com).

Recent Developments

Recent news from the last two years prior to available data includes the January 2018 service expansion to Nassau County and the March 2018 growth of their footprint to Long Island, culminating in the September 2018 opening of a dedicated Long Island office and warehouse to enhance local service for hundreds more customers (source: venturesolar.com). In 2017, the company secured major awards from SunPower, including "Residential Regional Dealer of the Year" for its customer focus and leadership, and "Residential Regional Top Producer of the Year" for achieving the highest shipment volume, highlighting its early growth phase. However, there are no records of acquisitions, mergers, or funding rounds disclosed, and the 1,000th installation in 2017 stands as the primary quantifiable achievement noted (source: venturesolar.com).

Working There

For job seekers, Venture Solar offers a variety of roles across its in-house operations, including installation technicians, sales positions, administrative support, and warehouse staff. The company emphasizes active hiring during its 2018 Long Island expansion to support growth in serving new areas (source: venturesolar.com). Hiring focuses on the Brooklyn headquarters and the Long Island branch/warehouse, targeting candidates with ambition, drive, and a "student-mentality" to join its mission-driven team, which has now grown to over 300 employees (source: venturesolar.com). The company culture is characterized by a high-growth, referral-driven environment built by founders who bootstrapped from two people to hundreds, emphasizing in-house excellence, customer satisfaction, and team motivation around solar adoption. This culture is further illustrated in founder videos where they discuss overcoming industry challenges to provide a "pleasurable experience" and a unified cause (source: youtube.com). While specific benefits packages are not documented, the firm highlights unbeatable warranties and exceptional service as internal standards that may extend to employee value propositions (source: venturesolar.com).
