Seasoned solar industry professional brings 30+ years of experience to expand operations and maintenance services across the Mid-Atlantic.
IJAMSVILLE, Md., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Got Electric, a leading electrical and solar contractor serving Maryland and Virginia, announced today that Jeff Gilbert has joined the company as Solar Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Manager, reinforcing Got Electric’s commitment to expanding and professionalizing solar O&M services across the Mid-Atlantic region.
Jeff Gilbert, Solar Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Manager, Got Electric LLC.
With more than three decades of renewable energy experience, Gilbert’s expertise spans system design, inspection, installation, and workforce training. His career includes co-founding Chesapeake Solar, one of the Mid-Atlantic’s earliest and most successful solar firms, and later launching Azimuth Solar, a consultancy focused on inspection, training, and technical advisory services. Gilbert is also NABCEP-certified, a credential widely recognized as the gold standard in solar installation and maintenance.
“Bringing Jeff on board is an important step for Got Electric as we continue to grow our commercial solar O&M services,” said Grant Gotlinger, President of Got Electric. “His background and technical know-how strengthen our ability to deliver reliable, technician-led solutions for our clients. The recognition we have received in Solar Power World’s 2025 rankings reflects that same commitment to expertise and service, and Jeff’s role will help us build on that momentum across the Mid-Atlantic.”
As the solar industry matures, operations and maintenance have emerged as one of its most critical yet underserved segments. The Mid-Atlantic region alone has thousands of commercial and utility-scale systems that require regular performance monitoring, diagnostics, and repair to ensure uptime and financial returns for system owners. “The biggest challenge is also the biggest opportunity,” said Jeff Gilbert. “The Mid-Atlantic has a rapidly growing number of commercial and industrial solar systems. Every minute offline means lost revenue for the owners. Got Electric can make a real impact by being the company with boots on the ground—restoring systems quickly and helping clients maximize the value of their solar investments.”
Got Electric’s solar O&M division specializes in technician-led diagnostics, affordable service plans, transparent pricing, and deep licensing coverage across Maryland and Virginia. With Gilbert at the helm, the company plans to expand these offerings, strengthening relationships with commercial property owners, developers, and asset managers seeking reliable long-term service partnerships.
Gilbert’s addition also aligns with Got Electric’s ongoing investment in workforce development and technical training. His background as an educator and conference speaker on the National Electrical Code and solar system design complements Got Electric’s culture of continuous learning and hands-on expertise.
For me, it is energizing to join a company that values both technical excellence and business growth,” Gilbert added. “Got Electric already has the reputation and talent—it is about scaling that success to meet the region’s growing demand for solar maintenance and performance services.”
