Led by Operators, Not Middlemen
Engineering, manufacturing, and field ops under one roof
Sunforge Energy started in 2011 in a Bakersfield garage with a pallet of imported cells and a conviction: the Central Valley's most dependable crop is sunlight. Fifteen years later we are one of the few American solar companies that engineers, assembles, installs, and maintains its own hardware — panels, hybrid inverters, and storage — under one warranty and one roof.
Vertical integration isn't a slogan for us; it's why our arrays outperform their models. When the people who designed the cell also commission the array, nothing gets lost between the datasheet and your meter.
Two engineers, a pallet of imported cells, and a bet that the Central Valley would become solar country.
Opened our first assembly line and signed our first utility off-take partner.
Launched the PowerCell platform, pairing LiFePO4 chemistry with our own hybrid inverters.
Crossed 1 GW of cumulative installed capacity across 11 states.
Our glass-glass bifacial line reached 22.8% efficiency — with a 30-year performance warranty.

Employees & certified crews
NABCEP-certified field teams
Former grid engineer; led 400 MW of utility interconnects before founding Sunforge.
Holds nine patents in bifacial cell architecture and thermal management.
Built battery management systems for two EV manufacturers before joining.
NABCEP-certified; has personally commissioned over 900 arrays.
Anyone can make a system look good on commissioning day. Sunforge designs for year fifteen — PID-resistant cells, marine-grade mounting, and monitoring that flags a drifting string before it costs you a kilowatt-hour. Longevity is the whole product.
Careers & partnerships
We're hiring installers, electrical engineers, and project developers — and we partner with regional EPCs nationwide.
