Build Magazine 67 Sustainability & Eco Peka Solar and Renewable Energy are a Florida based company providing renewable energy services to firms around the world. We invited President and Owner Willer Saldana to talk us through the firm and the services it provides. eka Solar, who offer solar panel installation for both commercial and residential properties. Willer outlines how the firm is aiming to make a difference through its service offering. “Here at Peka Solar we are committed to supporting clients in reducing their energy, and we serve people around the world, working on a wide variety of projects, from commercial buildings to high end houses. “Our mission is simple: create a better environment while saving our clients money, and also providing then with the best services. “Our overall aim is to reduce the world’s carbon footprint, one project at a time. To achieve this, we try to educate our clients about the benefits of solar energy, which is a pure energy source, safe for the environment, and totally free.” Although the sustainable energy market is growing globally, electricians and other members of the construction market still do not understand solar energy, which proves a challenge for firms such as Peka Solar. Despite this challenge Willer is keen to emphasise the firm’s positive points, including its dedication to hiring skilled staff and the advantages it finds being based in sunny Florida. “We are very selective about the staff we hire, as they have to be dedicated to providing our clients with the very best solutions and the very highest standard of fitting. Our technicians are NABCEP (gold standard) certified with accredited schools in the US. We take pride in what we do, seeking quality rather than quantity. “Being in the ‘sunshine state’, we feel that we should tap into clean and natural resources like the sun, wind, and even local water ways, to lower our costs in utilities. Using less oil and gas saves the us money and makes the property more valuable, all while being environmentally responsible.” Transforming Our Idea of Solar Energy P Willer also notes the opportunity for Peka Solar to take advantage of transformations within the construction industry, particularly as residential properties increasingly look to solar energy as a viable long-term investment. “Within the wider sustainable construction market, we are noticing that more homes are being built with solar technology already integrated into the property, and this will help us in our quest to expand.” Moving forward, Willer is keen to emphasise the firm’s continued focus on providing high quality as it seeks to offer its services to a wider client base. “In the future we are committed to continuing our expansion plan so that we can serve a greater variety of clients in a wider range of countries around the world. We have upcoming projects in the US and the Caribbean, and we hope to move further afield in the future, whilst retaining the high standards of quality which we pride ourselves on.” Company: Peka Solar and Renewable Energy, Inc.
