Our History...
Solar Innovations® can trace its history back to the early 1950’s, when Everlite Greenhouses was founded. Everlite was later purchased for its dealer network in the 1980’s by a sunroom manufacturer in Maryland. The manufacturer took over the Everlite name and began to distribute replacement parts for the original greenhouse company but limited its manufacturing to the newer sunroom product as well as the development of a mahogany interior/aluminum exterior conservatory. Everlite continued to produce sunrooms through the 1980's and eventually sold machinery designs to several other entities which began manufacturing sunrooms.
One of these entities moved its operations to York, PA and proceeded to manufacture wood and aluminum products until 1997. They struggled in the face of strong competition and various other business factors. Greg Header was hired by the company as a consultant in 1997 to evaluate its financial situation. He quickly learned about the industry and realized that immediate action was required to create a viable company. The company underwent a re-organization, and on April 15, 1998, Solar Innovations®, Inc. was formed. Greg became the President and Darren Coder was named Vice President.
Greg and Darren, along with six other dedicated employees, began to create the most innovative, successful, and diversified custom glazed structures manufactured in the country. Solar Innovations® began by listening to its customers and delivering what they wanted. A complete line of accessories including doors, windows, ridge vents, and more were created to allow Solar Innovations® to control quality and lead times. More color options were added as the company grew. (Presently Solar Innovations® offers nine, which is the most in the industry.) Large stocks of inventory were developed to limit lead times along with the creation of more than 200 extrusion designs.
Through the creation of so many proprietary extrusions, Solar Innovations® now produces the most complete product line in the industry including:
Solar Innovations® has continued to expand and introduce new products including Tilt-n-Turn Windows, Tilt-n-Slide Windows, Double Hung Windows, and the Hung, Pocketing, Sliding Glass Wall system so far in 2008. An impressive growth rate of no less than 25% per year has been constant. Solar Innovations® has maintained its focus to serve its customers to the best of its ability and with its ever strengthening team will continue to lead the way in the design, production and distribution of innovative glazed products for the foreseeable future.
Solar Innovations® bases all decisions on what is best for Solar Innovations® the company, employees, and customers. The Solar Innovations® Team will continue to forge its path into the future by living out this philosophy and continuing to promote a spirit of unity and teamwork.
In 2008, Solar Innovations® has grown to over 90 employees with an integrated business philosophy of designing, manufacturing, and, in some cases, installing its products. This philosophy has enabled Solar Innovations® to continuously improve its products and services.
