Meet The Team

Tom McCalmont is a serial entrepreneur with a passion for proliferating solar power and renewables. He has founded and built several successful solar businesses, including Regrid Power, a solar installation business he cofounded in the early 2000’s and sold in 2008 (now part of a public company) and McCalmont Engineering, which has been designing large scale solar power plants throughout the U.S. since 2009. Tom has driven an EV for over six years (currently a Chevy Bolt) and lives in a 100% solar powered, zero energy home. He holds 15 U.S. patents with many applications of advanced technology.

Scott has 11 years of experience in the solar industry and has worked with power electronics for more than 30 years. Previously he was VP of Professional Services for Tigo Energy, where he was Principal Investigator for two DOE SunShot awards. Scott has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and holds 7 U.S. patents. Scott’s first EV, a Sizzlers Flat Out model given to him in the early ’70s, ran on the Big O track and recharged in 90 seconds with the grid-connected Power Pit. Of course, Scott modified the battery and extended the range of his car!

Aaron’s lifelong passion for protecting our environment through the promotion of renewable energies blossomed from his first summer job 15 years ago when he worked as a solar installer at Regrid Power. Following college, he went to work as a project manager for two solar manufacturers. After purchasing his first EV in 2011 (a Nissan Leaf), Aaron knew he would never return to driving a gas-powered car and began exploring ideas about how to increase the range and battery life of EV’s. This exploration helped crystalize the value in charging EV’s directly from the sun.
