Jonathan Garcia
Founder
Twelve years in solar before founding the company — SolarCity at 19, foreman at 21, project manager over 60 crews by his mid-twenties.
Jonathan grew up around the trades; his father spent over a decade in electrical and another in roofing. He started with SolarCity at 19, made foreman at 21, and relocated to Nevada as a project manager overseeing more than 60 installation crews — the youngest to hold that role there. After finishing at Tesla at 31 he moved into solar sales, and saw from the other side how homeowners were being sold to. He founded Blackout Electric in 2023 to do it differently: the people who quote the job are the people who do it, and nobody works on a commission plan that rewards a bigger system than the one you need.
