Are you wired for self-sufficiency, innovation-driven teamwork and a spirit of expedition? Lets Talk. At Sandbox, we don’t just install solar panels – we are solution-oriented adventurers that live life to the fullest, and work like it matters. Because it does.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?
Sandbox Solar is a national award-winning company fueled by creativity, grit and adventure – built on the same hand-on spirit we once had building in the sandbox as kids. From our very first install with nothing but a Subaru and a toolbox, we’ve grown into a team where leaders are built, not hired, and where every system is designed to deliver true energy self-sufficiency. We don’t just install solar and HVAC – we build solutions people can trust, teams that rise to the challenge, and communities that become more self-sufficient with every project For the bold, the curious, and the those who identify with our mission, this isn’t a job – it’s an expedition.
