Sun Light & Power has delivered exceptional experiences to our customers for 50 years. From the early days of solar thermal, through the rise of PV and into the age of lithium battery backup, we have continued to design and build high quality solar projects in the Bay Area. Our team of employee-owners serve a wide range of commercial, non-profit, municipal and residential clients. Sun Light & Power was one of the first companies in the state to become incorporated as a Benefit Corporation (known as a B Corp). We became a 100% employee owned (ESOP) in 2018. The 2025 ESOP Board of Directors are Gary Gerber, Barbara Gerber, Sudhir Aggarwal, Jesse Quay, Raye Martin, Steve Kuttner and Seamas Brennan.
