The story of Expert Inc. (formerly Expert Solar) is not just about solar panels, technology, or infrastructure — it’s about people. It’s about a family of professionals who stood by one another through one of the most volatile eras in the clean-energy industry and emerged stronger, more unified, and more determined than ever to deliver sustainable energy with integrity.
As the company steps confidently into 2026, its core values — family, faith, and forward progress — continue to guide its every decision.
A Foundation Built on Family
When Expert Solar first appeared in the Tampa Bay Times two years ago, it was described as “a team of professionals who rely on and trust one another” — a family-led company founded by Juan Garcia and Fabio Dikena, who envisioned a culture where every employee mattered and every customer was treated like a neighbor.
That ethos hasn’t changed — it has deepened.
The same camaraderie that helped the company grow into one of Florida’s leading solar providers is now the driving force behind Expert Inc.’s expansion into a national brand for renewable innovation, storage solutions, and energy management consulting.
“Our people are our legacy,” said a company representative. “The industry changed, but our foundation never did. We’ve built this company like a family — one that stands together through every storm.”
Enduring Values Through a Season of Change
The clean-energy landscape of 2025 was marked by dramatic market shifts and high-profile bankruptcies. For many, the turbulence of Sunnova’s collapse represented an existential threat. But for Expert Inc., it became a defining moment — a test of resilience that reaffirmed everything the company stood for.
Under the guidance of Buddy D. Ford, Esq., a leading Florida business bankruptcy attorney, Expert Inc. navigated its reorganization not as a retreat but as a rebirth. Guided by Ford’s legal precision and the steady counsel of Michael Blickensderfer, Esq., of Blick Law Firm, the company executed a strategic transformation that preserved jobs, honored customers, and fortified operations for the long term.
Through this process, the company’s “family-first” philosophy wasn’t just preserved — it became its blueprint for recovery. Teams worked hand-in-hand, departments stayed connected, and leadership maintained open communication at every step.
“What saved us wasn’t luck — it was loyalty,” said one longtime manager. “We trusted each other, we trusted our leadership, and we trusted that doing the right thing would lead us back to where we belonged.”
From Team to Tribe: The People Behind the Progress
Walk into an Expert Inc. office today, and you won’t find a rigid corporate hierarchy. You’ll find collaboration. From the installation crews who bring energy to Florida homes, to the project engineers designing smart microgrids, to the customer service team who answers every call with care — everyone shares the same goal: delivering excellence through teamwork.
As the Tampa Bay Times article highlighted, Expert Solar was unique in Florida because it handled everything in-house — design, engineering, installation, and customer care. That approach continues to define Expert Inc.’s identity today.
Unlike many companies that outsource critical operations, Expert Inc. keeps every process under one roof to ensure quality, accountability, and precision. It’s a model that requires trust — the same kind of trust you find in a family business that never loses sight of its people.
Innovation Rooted in Integrity
Expert Inc. enters 2026 not only as a solar installer but as a clean-energy advisory firm, helping homeowners, schools, and businesses design energy systems that are financially and environmentally sustainable.
Its expanded portfolio now includes:
- Commercial and Institutional Solar Projects across Florida and the Southeast.
- Battery Storage and Microgrid Engineering to help communities achieve energy independence.
- Energy Risk Advisory Services that help clients navigate financing, compliance, and sustainability with transparency.
Every innovation is anchored in integrity — a trait that has defined Expert Inc. from the beginning.
“Our mission is to empower people to own their energy, not rent it,” said co-founder Juan Garcia. “We want families to feel the same pride in their home energy systems that we feel in our work.”
Looking Ahead: 2026 and Beyond
The next chapter for Expert Inc. is all about growth with purpose. The company’s 2026 roadmap focuses on three key objectives:
- Strengthening Local Roots – Reinforcing its Florida presence with new offices in Miami, Jacksonville, and the Panhandle, while continuing to serve Georgia, Virginia, and the Carolinas.
- Expanding Family Values Nationwide – Building partnerships that reflect the company’s collaborative, ethical culture across the U.S. clean-energy market.
- Driving Workforce Empowerment – Offering apprenticeships, certifications, and career development programs that uplift technicians and create generational wealth through skilled trades.
“We’re not chasing the biggest contracts — we’re building the best company,” said co-founder Fabio Dikena. “We’re proving that you can lead an industry without losing your humanity.”
Faith, Family, and Forward Motion
Ask anyone inside Expert Inc. what defines the company, and you’ll hear one word again and again: family. From leadership to logistics, from the boardroom to the rooftops, everyone shares in the victories — and the responsibility.
That spirit of unity now extends beyond the business. In 2026, Expert Inc. is launching Community Power, a new social impact initiative focused on solar education, workforce training, and energy access for underserved communities.
“Community Power is how we pay forward the trust Florida gave us,” said a company spokesperson. “We’re creating opportunities for the next generation — kids who will grow up believing that clean energy isn’t just a job, it’s a mission.”
A Family’s Promise
As Expert Inc. heads into 2026, its message is simple: we are still here, we are stronger than ever, and we will never lose sight of who we are.
From its beginnings as a small Tampa-based startup to its rebirth as a national clean-energy firm, Expert Inc. has stayed true to its heart — a family of professionals united by trust, purpose, and a shared belief that doing good work can change lives.
“Expert Inc. isn’t just a company,” said one employee. “It’s a home for people who believe in building something that lasts.”
