Built Well Solar’s<\/span><\/a> founder Dan Sabia was a veteran and first responder at Ground Zero on 9\/11. He saw firsthand the destruction and conflict triggered by America\u2019s reliance on oil. He started thinking about the tiny, solar-powered calculator he used when he was deployed and wondered why the country wasn\u2019t using this technology to become more energy independent. He became determined to learn more about it and install solar panels on his own house. More than 20 years later, this passion has helped Sabia grow a solid solar business in Long Island, New York \u2014 one that has been featured on Solar Power World’s<\/i> <\/span>Top Solar Contractors List<\/span><\/a> every year since its inception.<\/span><\/p>\n In this episode, Sabia talks about creating a solar market on Long Island, and why customers continue to choose a smaller, local contractor over the big national names.\u00a0An edited portion of the interview is below, but be sure to listen to the full podcast for more insight on Built Well’s vision of an electrified future.<\/span><\/p>\n Find the Contractor\u2019s Corner podcast on your favorite podcast app. Thank you to this month\u2019s sponsors, Scanifly<\/a> and Aptos Solar Technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n
