Solar Universe was founded in 2007 by Joseph Bono, the company's current CEO, 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 McDonalds. Alluding to Bono's former affiliations and the company's rapid expansion, Greentech Media once referred to Solar Universe as 'the Quizno's of solar installation. Mike is a man of few words, unless they are solar words! See what a recent customer of Mike's said about him below: Solar Universe installed an 18.3kWh solar array, transformers, new 400A panel, meters, emergency generator panel and conduit, conduit for electric car charger (which was installed by others). Basically, they installed everything necessary to generate more than 100% of my power needs. They also took the time to calculate the power that would be required by a new pond pump which was not yet in place, and for an electric car I had not yet purchased. - they upsized the array accordingly. All design, permits, and applications for rebates were done by Solar Universe so I didn't have to do anything after the contract was signed, and I did not make any payments towards the lease until after the system was operational- a month after my last electric bill. Member Comments: Everything went perfectly. I opted for the 20 year lease afte
