Aquila Energy, an EPC founded by a team of industry veterans, is officially launching to a fast-growing solar and battery energy storage market.
After spending nearly a decade together at Borrego Solar, Aquila leadership reunited at Coldwell Solar where they received their first funding round to form the new company from Dave and Sean Hood, owners of Coldwell Solar. With the goal of elevating standards in deploying new and repowering aging clean energy sites, Aquila’s team of multidisciplinary industry experts has a track record of executing GWs of solar and battery energy storage systems across the U.S.
“Our team of industry leaders and the integrity they bring to the table are at the heart of our approach, influencing every decision and driving our commitment to excellence,” said Brian Barker, CEO of Aquila. “For example, we believe in safety first, ensuring the protection of people and assets through rigorous protocols and advanced training. We also believe in open, honest communication within our team and with our partners, and extensive, upfront due diligence to deliver a win every time.”
The company name, Aquila, was inspired by Barker’s work on a community-driven solar project at the Aquila Game Reserve in South Africa, which provided hundreds of jobs and helped revitalize the town of Touwsrivier. Aquila looks to that project as a representation of its core values, as well as a blueprint for being an economic and environmental steward to the businesses and communities it serves throughout the U.S.
