Our story
We started Solwell because the industry was full of sales reps and short on craftspeople.
We started Solwell because the industry was full of sales reps and short on craftspeople.
In 2009, Alex installed his first PV array on a neighbour’s barn. Word spread. By 2012 we had a crew of five and a rule we still keep: nobody touches a roof unless they work here.
Today we have 42 employees — all full-time, all on Solwell payroll — and we still won’t subcontract an install. The person who quotes your system is on a first-name basis with the crew who builds it.
