About Us
Real expertise.
Not just a marketing platform.
Verified Solar was founded by people who have spent decades doing the work - not marketers who spotted a gap in the market.
Why Verified Solar exists
Verified Solar was created by Damon Rahmate and Andrew Davey to bring real expertise, transparency and trust back into the solar buying process.
Damon and Andrew are not marketers entering the solar industry from the outside. They are experienced renewable energy specialists, solar experts and technical leaders with more than 30 years of combined experience across solar PV, energy storage, EV charging, micro-grid systems and marine electrification.
They have seen first-hand how powerful solar can be when it is designed, specified and installed properly. They have also seen how confusing the process has become for homeowners. Quotes vary dramatically. System sizes, brands, inverter options, batteries, rebates and finance structures are not always explained clearly. Too often, homeowners are left trying to compare offers without really knowing what is right, what is fair, or who they can trust.
Verified Solar was built to solve that problem.
