About Us
Where We Began
Rhino Renewables Solar and Electric began offering its services as a solar and electrical contractor in April of 2020. After years of working in the solar industry, honing his craft and obtaining the required licensing, Jacob took the opportunity to start a new company. The vision for Rhino Renewables is the same vision that led Jacob into the solar industry: Creating an ever more sustainable and energy independent world by installing renewable energy and practical electrical systems in his own community.
As Rhino gained momentum, building a team of solar and electrical professionals was imperative to Rhino’s success. Welcome Ed Wright to the conversation. Now co-owner of Rhino Renewables, Ed and Jacob worked together in years past and had discussed opening a solar company many times. As with most great things, even if timing does not line up, if something is meant to be it will figure itself out. This new partnership allowed Jacob and Ed to bring skills to the table that complimented each other. With Ed taking charge of sales and design, and Jacob taking care of operations they worked together, filling the gaps along the way.
Rhino Renewables is now an established turnkey solar installer and electrical contractor that prides itself on education based sales and providing ease of mind to our clients. The goal for Rhino Renewables has always been to grow with the solar industry and keep a strong foundation in electrical contracting . Our foundation in the fundamentals of electrical contracting allows Rhino Renewables to be more effective throughout the design, permitting, interconnection and building process. We are passionate about creating a healthier world for all, starting with our own community, one roof at a time.
