It all started after the oil embargo of 1973. Local Cal Poly Engineering graduate and Solarponics founder Michael Emrich, saw an opportunity to improve our energy use and habits by finding ways to harness and distribute energy locally. Thus Solarponics began installing some of the first solar energy systems on the central coast, and some of those are still in operation today.
