About Us
National Solar Power Partners
We started in 2010, three Florida Tech engineering graduates with the crazy idea that solar was going to change the energy marketplace. We've seen the market evolve and grow and have been lucky to be a part of successful and exciting projects. Our management team has more than 40 years and hundreds of megawatts of industry experience.
Solar + Storage
We believe that solar and energy storage technologies will naturally become the leading primary energy source for mankind. Cost-effective, sustainable energy solutions will continue to change the fundamentals of the US energy marketplace.
Florida Roots
We started in Florida and many of us still call it our home but we have expanded to performing services across the United States in all electric markets.

Why Solar?
An early inspiration among the Founders of National Solar was Dr. David Block who was the Director of the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) on the Cocoa campus of the University of Central Florida. Dr. Block was a strong believer and advocate for solar technology. In 1992, he composed a research study for the State of Florida describing the cost of electricity to Florida taxpayers in health and environmental costs. In other words, he measured the damage caused by emissions from fossil fuel power plants in the State of Florida. He calculated the cost to Florida taxpayers of $20 per MWH or 2 cents per kilowatt hour in health and environmental damage. In 2022 dollars, this number would be $44 or 4.4 cents per kilowatt hour. Dr. Block's analysis was based mostly on the toxic profile of coal, oil & gas emissions. while he acknowledged the effects of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, his analytical focus was on the toxic profile and small particle pollution from the burning of coal and gas that cause most negative human health impacts.
It was estimated by Harvard Medical School that roughly 105,000 Americans die prematurely each year as a result of fossil fuel emissions from power plants and automobiles. Primary energy systems started burning coal (preventing deforestation) during the beginning of the industrial revolution. Since then, mankind has continued to be a hunter-gatherer in terms of energy. While the average American has ultra-technology at their fingertips with smart phones and the internet of things, in the energy sector, we are still drilling holes in the ground looking for fuel to burn like cavemen. Modern energy networks will provide sustainable energy security, we have the technology!
