Ipsun Solar
1826 Jefferson Pl NW 3rd Floor, Washington, Washington, D.C., United States

Ipsun Solar is inspired by a Latin word meaning “your own.” Why are we called Ipsun? We install solar panels allowing anyone to generate their own power.  The energy status quo goes like this: Customer gives money to the electric utility each month for power that is mostly from fossil fuels. Coal and gas power have consequences that are harmful to our communities and the environment.  Ipsun Solar offers the ability to make a quick, easy change. By producing your own power from solar, you will lock in low electricity costs from a cleaner source of energy, and you will add value to your home or business.

Where we operate and our Services

Ipsun Solar is a full EPC company. That’s engineering, procurement and construction of solar. We do residential, commercial and utility-scale solar panel installations focusing on the Northern Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland area.  Getting work done to your property can be daunting. That’s why we pride ourselves on knowing the unique complexities of the solar industry and on designing custom-made solar PV systems for each client.  One of our co-founders is an electro-mechanical engineer. He designed one of the world’s first solar cars along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) over a decade ago. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, we use a flexible approach. No one should settle for less than custom solar.

OUR STORY

  Herve and Joe met at the U.S. Department of Energy where they collaborated on technical analysis of financing for some of the world’s largest renewable energy projects. Together they assisted teams which financed over $30 billion in everything from electric vehicles to renewable energy generation.  Herve is an electro-mechanical engineer who designed the first Belgian solar car and began developing solar projects in Alabama in the 2000s. Joe is an environmental scientist and served as Energy Advisor to President Obama’s Chief Sustainability Officer.  They believe that solar should be accessible to everyone and created Ipsun Solar, Ipsum meaning yourself in Latin. Our goal is to inspire all Americans to generate their own power from clean and renewable sunshine.
