History
Solar Universe was founded in 2007 by Joseph Bono after he spent several years as a successful Quiznos franchisee in the Bay Area and saw a need for a comprehensive franchising application in the solar installation industry. After an initial investment of $1 million, the company received $7 million in series B funding in 2011 from RockPort Capital Management. Just two years after its founding, Solar Universe was one of the top 10 solar installers in California. In 2012 Entrepreneur Magazine ranked Solar Universe one of the 50 best new franchise concepts and selected it for the prestigious "Franchise 500," alongside such industry leaders as Subway, 7-Eleven Inc., and McDonald's.
In September 2013, Solar Universe acquired Gen110, a Kleiner Perkins backed pioneer of customer acquisition and direct sales.
