Sharpe Energy Solutions - Powering the Future
A Solar Powered Story
Charlie Sharpe started Sharpe Solar Systems in Bakersfield California in 1976, the year his son Jeff graduated high school. Sharpe Solar designed, fabricated and installed their signature “Magic-Box” bread-box solar water heater (cold water in, voila!, hot water out) in addition to thermal pool covers, high-efficiency woodstoves, shading and oil-field monitoring systems in that era of Jimmy Carter tax-credits. The business was sold to new owners in 1981 and became one of California’s longest-running solar businesses.
Jeff earned degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Physics at the At University of California, Santa Barbara where he and his project teams worked with a variety of solar collection systems including the Zomeworks passive solar-tracker.
At UCSB, Jeff and his team developed a novel insulated (surf-board foam) Magic-box water heater that closed itself at night on the Engineering Department’s roof. Jeff’s folks Charlie and Carol served on the Board of Directors for several of Jeff’s businesses over the years, including the school-focused energy modeling and EPCM firm Sharpe Energy Solutions he began in Ashland in 2007.
