CLAY, N.Y. — OnSite Solar, LLC announced that Brian J. Walters will become its president on Jan. 1.
The solar-installation company is promoting Walters from his prior position as senior VP of construction services.
OnSite Solar is based at 5 Lumber Way in the town of Clay. Started as a spinoff in 2018, the company has generated significant growth year over year and says it is now a top 100 solar installation contractor nationally.
“I’m happy to promote Brian to president of the company. He is intimately familiar with all aspects of the solar-installation process and has great business acumen. We have worked together for over 20 years and he has my full faith and confidence” Scott Gillespie, CEO of OnSite Solar, said in a news release.
Walters started his career at Camp Dresser & McKee in 1997 after completing his bachelor’s degree in construction management from Utica College. From there, he began working with OnSite Facility Services, LLC in 2003 in both a construction sales and an operational capacity.
OnSite Solar was spun off nearly four years ago from parent company OnSite Facility Services, founded in 1999. “Brian took the reins of all day-to-day construction and operational related activities since the inception of OnSite Solar” says Gillespie. “As president, he will make the right decisions for our employees and our customers for many years to come and I’m looking forward to seeing his professional growth.”
Walters added, “Solar was a logical progression for our construction division. We saw the opportunity in 2014 and started training our field personnel and project managers to make the transition fully. It’s become our largest division, by far, in a relatively short period of time.”
With strengths in both sales and construction management, Walters is directly responsible for all contract review and negotiations at OnSite Solar. He successfully delivered OnSite’s first distributed-generation solar build in 2017. Since then, he’s been focused on developing the people and procedures that are the driving forces for OnSite Solar’s continued success. He is also instrumental in the planning and development of new business and customer retention.
