For half a century, SeeMore Solar, formerly known as Fafco Solar, has been a beacon of renewable energy in Southwest Florida. This 3rd generation, family-owned, and locally operated company commemorates its 50th anniversary this year, marking a significant milestone in providing solar power systems in the region.
A Legacy of Quality and Innovation
Since its inception in 1974, SeeMore Solar has been synonymous with quality and innovation. Pioneering the solar energy movement in response to the 1970s Energy Crisis, the company initially focused on solar pool heaters, a novel concept at the time. The foresight of founder Ward Morrissey, Jr., and his early collaboration with FAFCO, laid the foundation for a business that would thrive for decades.
Growth and Diversification
The company’s growth was steady and strategic. By 1977, SeeMore Solar had constructed a 3,000 sq ft warehouse in Cape Coral, which remains its operational hub. The late 70s and early 80s were pivotal, as the company diversified its offerings beyond solar pool heaters to include solar hot water heating, a shift reflected in its rebranding to Fafco Solar.
A Family Tradition
Leadership passed through the Morrissey family, with Dan Morrissey taking the helm in 1986. Under his guidance, the company expanded into solar electric panels, with its first installation in 1999. The tradition continued with Dan’s son, Ian, joining the company in 2001, ensuring the family’s legacy in solar energy solutions.
Commitment to Excellence
The success of SeeMore Solar lies in its unwavering commitment to excellence. With a team of factory-trained employees, the company guarantees the highest quality products and workmanship. Representing leading brands like Tesla and FAFCO, SeeMore Solar remains at the forefront of solar technology.
A Mission of Harmony
SeeMore Solar operates under the guiding principle of “Less Harm ~ More Harmony.” This philosophy extends beyond providing eco-friendly solutions; it encompasses a commitment to customers, employees, and the planet. The company’s support for organizations like the Pachamama Alliance, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, and Future Forestry underscores its dedication to a greener future.
As SeeMore Solar celebrates its 50th anniversary, it stands not just as a business, but as a testament to sustainable innovation and a family’s enduring vision. From the early days of solar pool heaters to today’s advanced solar systems, the company continues to light the way for renewable energy in Southwest Florida, fostering a world of less harm and more harmony.
