Southern California contractor makes risky upfront investment to jump into C&I solar market<\/span>"},"content":{"rendered":"

Sean Bright has worked as an electrician since graduating high school, eventually landing in the commercial electrical space working on high-rises and restaurants. He was aware of the solar industry’s presence in Southern California, but like many electricians he knows, he thought it was gimmicky and nonviable.<\/p>\n

But that changed after a conversation with his best friend over at solar carport company M Bar C.<\/p>\n

In this episode of the Contractor\u2019s Corner podcast, Bright talks about taking a big risk to start New Era Electric in 2020 amidst a constrained labor market and how his company has found its niche in the small C&I market.<\/p>\n

An edited portion of the interview is below, but be sure to listen to the full podcast for more insight on building a new solar company that stands out in a saturated market.<\/p>\n
