SEC’s mission is to lead the solar industry in a standard of service and care for its customers, employees, business partners and the community at large, that is anchored in integrity, sustainable business practices, and a belief that every person SEC encounters deserves respect, honesty, and kindness.Although William found satisfaction working for solar companies to support team members and improve the education and care being given to customers, he saw that there were still big gaps in the industry standard of care provided to consumers throughout their solar experience, and he knew this needed to change. He decided that the best way to bring about these changes was to start his own company and partner with other industry experts that have the same passion for excellence, the outstanding standard of care, and the quality of products as he does. Thus, in 2016, William launched SEC.In William’s own words: “After personally consulting with over 4,000 homeowners and hearing about so many disappointing experiences within the solar industry, I became committed to creating a company that will deliver the combination of high-quality solar solutions and long-term customer care that homeowners want. With SEC, I am proud to offer a company that customers can truly trust, so they can sleep well at night knowing that they made the best decision for their families.” Show less
