Our Story: Solar with a Soul
From the Amazon Jungle to the Gold Coast Sun
Evolved Solar didn't start in a boardroom; it started in the depths of the Peruvian jungle.
In 2015, our founder Steven Hord—a passionate health advocate and Master Electrician—headed into the wilderness looking for a way to connect his technical skills with his desire to leave a positive footprint on the planet. He emerged two weeks later with a vision that would eventually become Evolved Solar & Electrical.
Today, Evolved Solar serves families and businesses across South East Queensland and Northern Rivers NSW.
The Evolved Difference
For us, solar is the perfect amalgamation of values, beliefs, and hard-earned skill sets. We love the "all-in" nature of this industry.
As Steven puts it:
"I love every bit of it—from being hot and sweaty on the roof doing the heavy lifting, to the calm, professional focus required to ensure our customers know they are in safe hands."
We thrive on the balance between challenging physical labour and the constant research needed to stay ahead in this ever-evolving industry. When you work with us, you’re getting a team that is as invested in your home’s future as you are.
Why trust your roof to Steven and the team?
