History
Standard Solar, Inc. was founded in 2004 by Neville Williams. While serving as the national media director for Greenpeace USA during the 1980s, he saw how renewable energy could help solve the world's energy and environmental challenges. Williams set out throughout the 1990s to bring solar electricity to rural villages in developing countries under the auspices of the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), which he founded. Williams secured enough funding to bring solar power to more than a half million people in 11 countries in Asia and Africa. A group of investors led by Truecast Capital of Middleburg, Virginia saw the light and made a major equity investment in the company in early 2008. Truecast Capital has since raised about $12 million to fund the expansion of company's residential and commercial / government businesses.
