A Bit About Matthew
Hello, I'm Matthew Ciocci, the founder of DIY Solar Company. I'm passionate about animals, helping people, meeting like-minded individuals, and talking about energy. I love taking on interesting projects, spending time at the beach, and taking care of the environment. As a proponent of saving the bay and protecting nature, I believe in minimal human intervention into our natural world. My goal is to leave things better than I find them.
Background & Expertise:
I served in the United States Marine Corps from 2018 to December 2023, achieving the rank of Lance Corporal with a combination of active and reserve service. During my military career, I was responsible for managing an armory and overseeing millions of dollars worth of equipment. My passion for solar energy began in the field, where I used solar to charge phones and various pieces of equipment.
After my military service, I worked for a solar installer as a commercial and residential solar installer, project manager, and eventually an account manager. Despite being offered ownership at another solar company, I chose to start DIY Solar Company to prioritize honesty, ethical practices, and helping customers find the best solar deals.​
