Gerald DeVito brings 35 years of experience as a civil engineer and scientist to the founding of Solar DC Power. That background isn't incidental — it shapes everything about how the company approaches site assessment, energy infrastructure design, and the kind of rigorous, evidence-based thinking that separates serious development from wishful projection.
Gerald grew up in Waverly, Ohio, near the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant — one of the most significant energy infrastructure sites in American history. That early proximity to large-scale energy production gave him a lifelong understanding of how energy systems shape communities, economies, and landscapes. It also gave him a healthy respect for what happens when those systems fail the people they were built to serve.
After three decades in civil engineering, Gerald became increasingly focused on climate resilience — not as an abstract concern, but as an infrastructure challenge with concrete, buildable solutions. His service as a U.S. Army veteran reinforced a conviction he has carried throughout his career: that the people closest to the ground — farmers, rural communities, working families — deserve infrastructure that works as hard as they do. Solar energy, agrivoltaics, microgrids, and distributed generation aren't just cleaner alternatives to the status quo. In Gerald's view, they are the necessary next generation of American energy infrastructure — more resilient, more secure, and more equitable than the centralized systems they are built to replace.
Solar DC Power is the embodiment of that conviction. Gerald founded the company to prove that data infrastructure, clean energy, and working farmland don't have to compete — and that rural Georgia and the Carolinas are exactly the right place to prove it.
Vince DeVito wears many hats and brings a broad range of experience, skills, and knowledge across multiple industries, all of which lend direct assistance to distributed energy projects. His knowledge and expertise in finance are available to assist in evaluating, underwriting, and modeling solar and distributed energy projects, and in sourcing funding through institutional money or private investors.
His educational background in the sciences dovetails well with hands-on experience conducting third-party inspections and testing in welding, oil country tubular goods, housing stock, storm restoration, and semiconductor materials. Vince has extensive experience training multinational industrial companies in quality control and quality assurance, with firsthand process control accountability in both high-purity water systems and semiconductor materials.
Vince DeVito brings a roofer's eye to every solar installation. With extensive experience assessing roof conditions, estimating replacement timelines, and managing insurance claims for storm damage, Vince evaluates each roof before solar panels are specified or installed. That means Solar DC Power clients know exactly what they're working with before a single panel goes up, protecting their investment and avoiding the costly mistake of installing solar on a roof that needs replacement first.
These talents and experiences across major industry sectors contribute to Solar DC Power's ability to deliver timely projects, well-defined scopes of work, and consistent quality across solar, storage, and distributed energy projects.
