Steve Williams, the innovative CEO of Clean Solar Solutions America, has once again gained recognition in the solar industry by earning a prestigious Special Commendation at the 2024 Energy Efficiency Awards. This accolade, presented at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham, U.K., celebrates Steve’s exceptional contributions to the solar industry, particularly in driving advancements in solar operations, maintenance, and energy efficiency.
For those in the U.S. solar industry who may not be familiar with Clean Solar Solutions, Steve’s leadership has turned this once UK-based company into a global leader in solar panel cleaning and maintenance, including in the American market. Steve entered the solar industry in 2013, as a single-operator window cleaner.
With zero knowledge of KPIs, PPAs, HV, LV, SCADA, O&M and all of the other industry terminologies, Steve had A LOT to learn. He made it his business to professionalize and educate himself and has gone on to consistently prove himself as a pioneering solar professional. His group of Clean Solar Solutions companies have become one of the most trusted names in solar operations and maintenance (O&M).
Clean Solar Solutions won their first national award in 2013 the ‘U.K.’s Best Solar O&M Company‘ in October 2017, competing against big hitters in the O&M space.
Having led his company to win a national award, in 2019 Steve was personally crowned ‘U.K. Solar Innovator of the Year‘ in 2019, in recognition of his pioneering solar panel cleaning techniques and research works.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Steve set about expanding his team of ‘Solutionists’ and started to offer other services to his clients, apart from solar panel cleaning. Having seen hundreds of poorly maintained systems, Steve decided to set up an electrical maintenance side to Clean Solar Solutions, which included servicing, repairing and thermal imaging of solar arrays. He had unique ideas on what safe and well-designed solar arrays looked like. He also chaired the Solar Energy UK Rooftop O&M Working Group and oversaw the creation of two sets of Rooftop O&M Best Practice Guidelines in 2020 and 2021. This all culminated in Clean Solar Solutions winning the ‘U.K. Best Solar Operations & Management Company‘ award in 2022.
But Clean Solar Solutions is more than just an award-winning company—it’s a true partner in helping solar owners maximize the efficiency of their systems. Whether you’re a residential customer looking to boost the performance of your rooftop solar panels or a business with commercial or utility-scale solar installations, Clean Solar Solution offers tailored services to keep your investment running at peak capacity.
