Company History


Vista Solar is a Family owned and operated Northern California renewable energy systems integrator. The company has its headquarters in Santa Clara, California, where it currently provides photovoltaic solar integration services to the greater Bay Area. Collectively, the Vista Solar Team has over two decades of experience working in the solar and renewable energy industry.
 
Founder, Patrick Callinan, is also the Owner and President of Silicon Valley Microelectronics, Inc. (SVM), as well as, the Founder of Santa Clara based Silicon Valley Solar (SVS). SVM is in its 17th year as a leading distributor of silicon wafers and provider of silicon wafer services for the solar and semiconductor industries. The company has succeeded by providing the most cutting-edge technologies and competitive prices while settling for nothing less than extraordinary customer service.
 
With the founding of Silicon Valley Solar, Patrick Callinan expanded from providing the building blocks for solar module construction to pioneering cutting-edge solar module technology. SVS is a manufacturer of flat plate, internally concentrated, solar modules. These exciting new Sol-X modules utilize less than half the number of solar cells of traditional solar modules while producing the same, or even higher, output.
 
Vista Solar was born of Patrick Callinan's passion for the future of solar technology, and his son, Jaymes Callinan's, dedication to sustainable living. Drawing on SVM and SVS's tradition of excellence, Vista Solar is poised to become a key player in the Bay Area renewable energy market.
