Established in 2007, Solar Impact, Inc. is a leading solar panel installation company based in North Central Florida, providing residential and commercial solar energy solutions. Founded by Elaine and Barry Jacobson, the company was born out of a personal need for affordable solar energy after encountering high installation costs. With the solar landscape evolving due to legislative changes, Solar Impact emerged to offer reasonably priced solar electric systems and guidance through the installation and financing processes.
Transitioning to a fully employee-owned model in 2019 has fostered a unique culture of shared responsibility and commitment among its staff. The company operates with core values that prioritize honesty, respect, and excellence in craftsmanship, ensuring that every project meets high standards of quality and customer satisfaction.
Solar Impact has established itself as a premier solar provider, recognized as the largest solar energy company in North Central Florida and ranking within the top ten statewide. The team comprises seasoned professionals, including certified solar contractors and licensed engineers, ensuring that all solar systems are expertly designed and installed. With over 55 years of combined construction experience, they pride themselves on delivering efficient and reliable solar solutions.
The company has successfully completed numerous projects for prominent clients, including the U.S. Air Force, the University of Florida, and various local businesses. They focus not only on providing solar energy but also on contributing positively to the environment by planting trees for every installation. For each home that adopts solar energy, they plant 500 long leaf pines, contributing to local conservation efforts.
Solar Impact remains committed to customer care, delivering customized solar-plus solutions, including battery storage, and maintaining the systems for optimal efficiency over their lifespan. With a firm belief in the necessity of renewable energy sources, Solar Impact is not just transforming rooftops into clean energy power plants, but also empowering local communities to make sustainable energy choices.
