Some connections are worth celebrating! 🎉

As we celebrate 20 years of Lightwave CEO, Chris Koczaja caught up with Brian Paddock, Lightwave’s first residential customer, at our 20th Anniversary Party!

Moments like these remind us what makes our company so special. From our first customer back in 2006 to the thousands of solar installations we’ve completed since, we’ve come a long way, but the relationships we’ve built remain at the heart of what we do.

We’re incredibly grateful to Brian for trusting Lightwave from the very beginning, and to all our customers, employees, and partners who have helped shape the company into what it is today.

Here’s to 20 years of progress, lasting relationships, and continuing to build a brighter energy future together!

Let’s break down what each option means and help you determine which system may be the right fit for you.

As data centers continue to be built rapidly, concerns are growing about their impact on surrounding communities. We believe the solution to their negative effects is more renewable energy.

The time is now for us and these data centers to be part of the change and solution we want to see in the world. At Lightwave, we are continuously moving closer to our goal of a net-zero future, with over 100 megawatts of installed capacity across the Southeast to date.

If you want to be part of the solution to build a better future for your own peace of mind, your community, and the planet, trust our team with your solar and battery storage project. Book your free consultation today!
