From Conversation to Empire: How Dad of Seven James Brennan Turned a Climate Chat into a Solar Power Success

Multimillionaire James Brennan, a father of seven based in San Diego, transformed a chance conversation with his daughter about climate change into a thriving solar power empire. Frustrated by the slow adoption of green energy, Brennan founded Solar Home—previously known as Solar Integrated Roofing Inc.—in 2020. Since then, he has overseen the installation of more than 300 solar power systems for homeowners across Arizona, helping customers reduce electricity bills and carbon footprints. His company both installs and maintains rooftop solar panels, aiming to make clean energy accessible and cost-effective.

Brennan’s personal mission is closely tied to his family, as he wants to create a more sustainable future for his children. Targeting homeowners who may feel left out by large solar providers, Solar Home streamlines the process—from financing to maintenance—ensuring it’s easy for people to transition to solar energy. Brennan’s story highlights the impact that personal commitment and entrepreneurial spirit can have on accelerating adoption of renewable technologies.
