About 25 years ago, Michelle and Geoff Greenfield began to build a sustainable home on a piece of rural land in southeast Ohio beyond the utility Grid power. They knew they wanted to go solar but the only solar experts they found were in California.
With the same determination that was driving the rest of the modern homesteading project, the couple decided to become local experts. In 2000, Kokosing Solar was founded in the attic of their home. As the interest in solar grew, so did the company, which became a respected national leader and a household name.
A similar origin forms the roots of Kokosing Inc., founded by Bill Burgett in 1951. Bill Burgett was a farm boy with humble beginnings. In the early days, Bill turned odd jobs into work to feed his family. This work included building and remodeling houses, barns, churches, schools, a milk house, and several small commercial projects.
Since 1951, Kokosing grew to be one of the largest family-owned construction companies in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, known for unwavering integrity and exceptional safety and quality.
In 2022, As the demand for solar became much more than a rapidly growing company could deliver, the Greenfields knew that a giant leap was needed to address the massive energy transition. With a focus on their original mission, the Greenfields sought a partner with the right people, capacity, and values to keep accelerating the shift to clean energy.
With aligned values and a focus on people as their core asset, Kokosing decided that solar and clean technology was a natural progression for their company.
Kokosing Solar’s 20 plus years of experience in the solar EPC industry as a residential and commercial solar installer will be bolstered with additional resources, leading to improved customer experience.
We look forward to employing even more individuals in the renewable energy industry as we grow. Providing more clean energy jobs with good pay, good benefits, and a secure future for community members is part of our work to accelerate the shift to clean energy.
Solar energy is an exciting, rapidly expanding industry. If you look around, you will find many new entrants jumping aboard “the next big thing”. We are not one of them. Kokosing Solar brings more than 23 years of solar installation experience and 72 years of construction experience to homeowners. We have many years behind us as a solar installer, and a bright future ahead; we will be your trusted, long-term partner. Our goal is to create an allegiance that will generate referrals and expansion projects long after many of the newcomers have dropped out. We will get you started with solar, accelerate its financial benefits, and position you for a bright, economical energy future.
Kokosing Solar makes a special effort to support worthy causes in our community. We enlist the help of our employees and friends in giving financial and volunteer support to the people and organizations that are making a difference.
