About Joel Walsman

As a multi-state master electrician with 20 years of industry experience and over 700 solar projects completed as a design-build-maintain integrator, I’ve dedicated my career to delivering energy solutions that power businesses, communities, and the future. From solar PV and energy storage to EV charging infrastructure, my focus has always been on integrating cutting-edge technology with long-term reliability. At Jefferson Energy, we don’t just install systems—we build lasting partnerships. We operate on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), ensuring clarity, accountability, and a culture where the right people thrive. Our team embodies a tenacious entrepreneurial spirit, consistently pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in C&I solar while staying true to the principles that guide us: Partnership Transparency ImpactThomas Edison once said,\"I\'d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don\'t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.\" Nearly a century later, we’re tackling it head-on—because the world needs bold action and real leadership in energy transformation. If you’re looking to collaborate, innovate, or join a team that’s building something bigger than itself, let’s connect.
