Our Story

Hi there.

I’m Derek, and my passion for bringing solar energy to everyone is deeply personal. Let me share my story with you.

Picture me in my rented apartment, part of a complex that didn’t offer the luxury of vast rooftop space. I had this burning desire to harness the power of the sun, but the practicality was far from sunny. The process was a labyrinth of cables, bewilderingly complex, and as far from user-friendly as you can imagine. 

In the midst of my solar struggle, a simple yet profound question nagged at me: why should embracing affordable and sustainable energy be this tough?

That’s when it hit me. I couldn’t be the only one facing these challenges. In 2020, I set out on a mission and founded Square Solar. My vision was clear: break down the barriers that made solar power seem out of reach and bring it within everyone’s grasp. It became personal, and it became my purpose.

Join me to innovate energy with the solar panel of tomorrow.
