Charlottesville, VA- February 15, 2022 – Altenergy, Inc., a solar contractor with close to two decades of experience and local roots in Charlottesville, Va., has unveiled a new name and brand identity, Tiger Solar.
Since Altenergy began designing and installing clean energy solutions in 2005, the company has grown exponentially- employing 50 solar experts across 4 states and 5 branches, completing 1,700 high-quality projects, and producing 21 MW of PV capacity. The new name, Tiger Solar, develops after many successful collaborations with Tiger Fuel Company, an energy distributor with 40 years of experience in Charlottesville, Virginia. Over the past three years, Altenergy partnered with Tiger Fuel to solar-power two of their gourmet-to-go convenience stores and install a public EV charging station. Another 500kW of solar power is scheduled to cover Tiger’s bulk plants, with a shared commitment to reduce their carbon footprint by 45% in 2025.
“There is a real drought of quality oriented, non-door knocking, customer-first solar companies,” said President of Tiger Solar, Russ Edwards. “Our partnership with Tiger Fuel, and the 40 years of customer service experience we Tiger has in providing energy to its customers, gives us tremendous support to continue doing what we do best. We build lasting relationships with our customers through our local branches and deliver the highest quality clean energy systems. This collaboration provides us with additional resources, stability, and financial backing to service our customers for the long haul – beyond the next 40 years,” emphasized Edwards.
Tiger Solar is distinctively positioned as a thought-leader, guiding commercial business owners to shift towards renewable energy sources. The refreshed, modern look for Tiger Solar, coupled with their commitment to delivering the highest-quality clean energy systems in their local markets, sets the stage for a bright future.
“The energy landscape is changing,” said President of Tiger Fuel, Gordon Sutton. “The joining of our two great teams, and the new name, Tiger Solar, presents high-growth opportunities to expand our customer offerings and accelerate bringing solar to more residential and commercial rooftops. I’m confident that our partnership will make a meaningful impact in building a clean energy future,” added Sutton.
“The name Altenergy served us well for many years. While our name is changing to Tiger Solar, our core competencies will remain the same. Our team of clean energy loving, customer-first fanatics will continue to execute all projects with the same brilliance, professionalism, and local leadership in each market we serve,” said Edwards.
