About Us
A Rich History of Quality and Dedication
iSolara Solar Power was founded in 2003 by Warren Abar, P.Eng, with a clear vision: to combat climate change while empowering people to achieve energy independence. Using his engineering expertise, Warren identified wide-scale solar energy adoption as the most effective solution for a sustainable future.
We began our journey installing off-grid systems, expanded into solar thermal, and by 2009, with the launch of the FIT and microFIT programs, we became a leading grid-tied solar company.
