In 2007, our founder Bill Bender grabbed a solar energy textbook off his shelf.
He had one question: how could he make a difference in the fight against fossil fuels and climate change?
For years, Bill and local Dartmouth engineering students experimented in Bill's backyard. First they designed heliostats that concentrated the sun's energy, evolving into solar panels mounted on trackers that could reliably track the sun's motion across the sky. They earned a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Sunshot Program for their efforts.
The team perfected the design and in 2013 our first customer’s tracker system went into the ground. Since then, we've deployed over 1,300.

We want to make efficient, reliable solar technology a reality for every home and business that wants clean energy.
From the beginning, we've been driven by one fact: climate change is real and humans have the power to alter its course. We want to make efficient, reliable solar technology a reality for every home and business that wants clean energy.

We are proud owners of 2 Solaflect Trackers. We have had our panels three years. Their efficiency may be obvious but what has been very important and refreshing is Solaflect’s attention to maintenance and upkeep. The customer service is exceptional. Panels are monitored remotely so if there is a problem they give us a call. Upgraded parts have been replaced. It has been a great experience and well worth the purchase.

Bill Bender, Founder and President
Two decades ago, Bill ran the numbers and reached one conclusion: there has to be a better way to power human civilization. He led the design and development of our pioneering steel suspension solar tracker. He's been working on the problem ever since.
Sherri Bean, Assembly Manager
Sherri brings order to chaos, turning hundreds of individual parts into elegant, reliable solar tracker systems. She spends her days checking every last bolt and wire, making sure your clean power plant works right from day one.
Leo Bangerter, Operations Manager
Leo knows remote telemetry across the air and seas, so over 1,300 tracker systems don't phase him. In addition to making sure all the installation trains run on time, his team is constantly monitoring the control and reporting systems across our installation footprint, catching issues and fixing them before you even notice.
Rob Adams, Chief Operating Officer
After a broad career in business, Rob wanted to go deep on a problem truly worth solving. He spends his days helping people understand how we can solve their problems, and trying to make sure we have the right people in the right places to get the work done.
