SAN DIEGO - Feb. 9, 2021 - HES Solar was announced as the 2020 SunPower National Dealer of the Year for Commercial Solar. The San Diego-based commercial and residential solar installer was honored to receive the award and designation shortly after receiving its fourth consecutive Regional Top Producer - Commercial award during the 2021 SunPower Virtual Dealer Conference.
The coveted SunPower Dealer of the Year acknowledgement honors SunPower dealers that consistently put customers first, while demonstrating exceptional industry knowledge and leadership.
HES Solar has been a SunPower dealer since 2007 and has installed over 17 million watts of solar in Southern California since 2001. The company's success reflects its territory expansion north and east from San Diego County to include communities out to Temecula and north up the coast into Orange and Los Angeles Counties in cities such as Porter Ranch, Anaheim and Irvine.
The award comes as HES is positioned for several more impressive announcements in the near future that reflect the company's strong recovery after an industry-wide second quarter drop due to the pandemic and resulting lockdowns. Surging beyond recovery, in fact, the Southern California company posted its best-ever fourth quarter for residential sales and finished the year with overall growth compared to 2019. Upcoming company announcements in the first and second quarter of 2021 will focus on more impressive company news, an improved digital presence, and more exciting changes that include the implementation of a new business division.
"This is phenomenal news," says Ross Williams, HES Solar CEO. "I couldn't be more proud of the team we have in the commercial business and the efforts they put forth in 2020. I think that to win the most coveted title that SunPower awards is unprecedented and to do it during a pandemic just speaks volumes of the character and leadership of the team. Partnering with SunPower, one of the world's most innovative and sustainable energy companies, stands among the top decisions we have ever made. I am very excited and optimistic for what 2021 has in store for the solar industry and for the businesses and homes that enjoy the benefits solar provides."
"A strong network of dealers is integral to our business — they excel at their craft, are deeply ingrained in their local markets and represent the SunPower brand with incredible expertise and service," said Norm Taffe, Executive Vice President at SunPower. "We congratulate dealers who have gone above and beyond and look forward to their continued success helping more homeowners realize the rewarding benefits of solar."
"This was surprising and not surprising to learn we'd won the exclusive SunPower National Dealer of the Year Award," says Wenjie Chen, who was promoted to Director of Commercial for HES Solar earlier this year. "With the completion of our long span garage top solar project up in north county to a trifecta of rooftop/carport/battery project down south near the border last year and current projects scheduled north of Los Angeles and in Imperial County, it was clear HES was in a strong position in the market and rapidly expanding, but of course it's always a boost to know we are leading the charge."
HES Solar continues to expand installations and service throughout Southern California through both its commercial and residential solar and solar plus storage divisions.
