From strategic engineering and preconstruction planning to seamless project delivery, we ensure efficient and effective outcomes every step of the way.
The Dawn
In late 2023, we were ready for our next opportunity after having spent nearly a decade together at Borrego Solar. Our diverse team of experts realized that we had a shared vision to build a unique EPC from the ground up, redefining standards in renewable energy.
01
Seize the Day
Reuniting at Coldwell Solar, a respected EPC specializing in solar energy systems in the agriculture and industrial markets, we seized the challenge of providing an EPC solution for IPPs and developers. Spinning off from Coldwell Solar, and with the financial backing of Coldwell’s CEO Dave Hood, we were ready to launch a new company.
02
More than a Name
Finding a name which embodied our vision of environmental stewardship and community empowerment was important. We were inspired by CEO Brian Barker’s influential work on a community-driven solar project at the Aquila Game Reserve, which provided hundreds of jobs and helped revitalize the town of Tousrivier.
03
Moving Forward
Now equipped with the perfect name, a talented team, and a commitment to sustainability, Aquila is driving innovation, redefining standards in renewable energy and delivering exceptional results.
