Got Electric Enhances Solar Operations with Jeff Gilbert's Expertise in the Mid-Atlantic Region

Got Electric Strengthens Its Team with Jeff Gilbert

Got Electric, a prominent electrical and solar contractor operational in Maryland and Virginia, has announced a significant addition to its team. Jeff Gilbert, a veteran in the solar industry with more than 30 years of experience, has stepped in as the Solar Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Manager. This move aims to expand and enhance the company's capabilities in the fast-evolving commercial solar market of the Mid-Atlantic region.

Jeff Gilbert's Impressive Background

Gilbert comes with an extensive background in renewable energy, having co-founded Chesapeake Solar, one of the earliest successful solar firms in the Mid-Atlantic. He later founded Azimuth Solar, a consultancy specializing in inspection, training, and technical advisory services for solar installations. Additionally, he holds a NABCEP certification, a highly recognized credential in the solar installation and maintenance industry.

Grant Gotlinger, the President of Got Electric, emphasized the importance of Gilbert's onboarding by stating, "Bringing Jeff on board is an important step for Got Electric as we continue to grow our commercial solar O&M services." This highlights the company's ongoing commitment to delivering reliable, technician-led solutions designed to meet the increasing demands of the solar market.

Meeting the Challenges of Solar Operations & Maintenance

As the solar market matures, the need for solid operations and maintenance services becomes increasingly critical. The Mid-Atlantic region is home to numerous commercial and utility-scale solar systems that require regular performance monitoring, diagnostics, and repairs. Gilbert remarked, "The biggest challenge is also the biggest opportunity. Every minute a system is offline translates to lost revenue for its owners. Got Electric aims to be the company that quickly restores these systems, helping clients get the most value from their solar investments."

Enhancing Operations in the Mid-Atlantic

Got Electric's solar O&M division is focused on providing technician-led diagnostics, affordable service plans, and transparent pricing. With Gilbert at the helm, the company plans to bolster these offerings, strengthening partnerships with commercial property owners, developers, and asset managers aiming for dependable long-term service. The company’s aim is to maintain its reputation as a trusted partner in solar maintenance and performance services.

In addition to operational improvements, Gilbert's hiring aligns with Got Electric's robust investment in workforce development and technical training. His experience as an educator and speaker on the National Electrical Code and solar system design complements the company's continuous learning and expertise culture. "For me, it is energizing to join a company that values both technical excellence and business growth," Gilbert added.
