ABOUT US

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

At Tusk Solar Design, our journey began with the strong desire to bring a system-oriented approach to an industry that plagued its consumers with delays and frustrations. The visionary behind this was our founder and CEO, Zach Unson. He set out to craft a premier solar drafting solution after experiencing the inefficiencies of the industry himself.


As the journey gathered momentum, three more mechanical engineers joined in. We didn't need advertising; our clients' experiences and their glowing testimonials spoke for themselves. Formerly known as TUSSC Design Services, we've evolved into Tusk Solar Design.


Today, our team is a close-knit group of former college roommates and other brilliant minds we've connected with along our journey. We are here to exceed industry standards, ensuring every solar plan set is crafted with the utmost care.


Our passion for solar energy is matched only by our commitment to our clients, as we strive to transform their solar aspirations into beautifully designed realities.
