The Next Solar Energy Honors Innovation and Patriotism in Illinois

When it comes to merging bold design with clean energy impact, The Next Solar Energy stands in a league of its own. Led by CEO Roger Timoteo, the Louisiana-based company earned top honors in the Commercial category of the 2024 APsystems USA Installation Awards for a remarkable solar project that quite literally waves the flag for sustainability.

Designed in the shape of the American flag, this commercial installation is both a high-performance energy system and a patriotic statement. โ€œThis project is a symbol of sustainability and patriotism,โ€ said Timoteo. โ€œIt represents our commitment to innovation and the values we share with the communities we serve.โ€

What sets The Next Solar Energy apart is their ability to scale clean energy with creativity and efficiency. Known for delivering sleek, functional designs tailored to client goals, the team executed this complex array with precisionโ€”maximizing visibility and output without sacrificing affordability or reliability.

To power the installation, The Next Solar Energy chose APsystems DS3 microinverters, citing their ease of installation and time efficiency as key advantages. โ€œAmong others: ease of installation and time efficiency, these two features are extremely helpful for our planning and logistics team, especially for installs that need to be completed quickly,โ€ said Timoteo.

While every project presents its own challenges, the team remained committed to problem-solving and performance delivery. โ€œWe have had some troubles trying to start up the system due to poor connectivity on-site, but APsystems support and our teamโ€™s effort allowed us to overcome those challenges,โ€ he noted.

Timoteo also pointed out how APsystems stands apart from others in the microinverter space: โ€œOverall we see these as the main differences: cost, flexibility, and product reliability. These factors make a big impact when youโ€™re working on large-scale or time-sensitive installations.โ€

End user feedback has been โ€œoverwhelmingly positive,โ€ with site owners noting the transparency and performance tracking that comes with APsystemsโ€™ real-time monitoring tools. โ€œThe local community has been very receptive to the design and idea behind the project,โ€ Timoteo shared. โ€œItโ€™s something theyโ€™re proud to see in their area.โ€

The project has not only generated clean energy, but also served as a powerful example of how solar installations can go beyond function and become symbols of local pride and purpose.

โ€œAs a large company with multiple successfully installed APsystems projects, we continue to see value in both their product and their people,โ€ said Timoteo. โ€œWe look forward to building more projects that align with our mission – and APsystems helps us make that possible.โ€

With this flag-shaped array, The Next Solar Energy has proven that technical excellence and creative vision are not mutually exclusive – theyโ€™re essential partners in building a sustainable future.
