Who We Are

Committed to providing the highest quality craftsmanship and customer service, Harvest Solar was founded in 2012 by Brad Van Wert and Kyle MacVean. Together, the duo brings over 20-years of combined boots-on-the-roof install experience.

The idea of Harvest Solar was born out of Brad and Kyle’s desire to help more people people understand that solar was within their reach.

Prior to starting Harvest, both Kyle and Brad had worked in the solar electric industry for a number of years. As the price of solar started to decline, they saw an opportunity to create a company that always put the customer at the forefront. Since opening, they have worked hard to offer customers affordable solutions, while creating a personalized experience that allows them to understand how their system works.

A Personalized Approach

At Harvest Solar, getting to know our customers’ needs is our priority. We believe this makes for a fun and educational experience, while also creating a dialogue that allows for transparency and accountability.

We are here to do more than put solar on your roof. We are here to teach you how it works. Through this educational, customer-first approach, we believe our clients can have a more satisfying transition to solar. Armed with an understanding of how the technology works, they are empowered to take ownership of their energy needs.

In order to ensure our clients always receive the highest level of service, we have kept our operation small. This enables us to be involved throughout the whole process -- from sales, to design and install, to project completion and beyond.

Each project is unique. From large commercial projects, to small-off grid, we give every project the time and attention it deserves.
