Our Story
It all began in 2006 when Brennan, a SolarLight pioneer since 2004, teamed up with his wife Melody to launch Solar Light Inc. Their vision? To make the world a brighter place, one home at a time. For nearly two decades, they built a legacy of light in Bend, Oregon, serving thousands with unmatched care. Today, Brennan steps back as our founding advisor, passing the torch to Jim Erickson. Jim carries forward the mission with fresh energy and deep roots, ensuring Solar Light Inc remains a family-inspired force in natural lighting.
