We’ve Expanded Our Headquarters in South Florida

Energy Toolbase has grown. Literally. We’re proud to announce that we recently doubled the footprint of our office space in Stuart, Florida. We now occupy a two-story waterfront office suite, which has allowed us to accommodate our growing team.

Our HQ office in Florida is home to our Utility Rates, Software Engineering, and Administrative teams. All of which work together to maintain our platform, keep our databases up to date, and deliver on new features. All three of these teams have doubled in size in 2017, which has driven the need for more space. The Energy Toolbase team in Florida now numbers 12 strong, and 17 in total across our three offices. This may not sound like much, considering the solar industry’s exponential growth to over 300,000 employees nationwide. But it feels like a different world for us, as we were an organization of one only three-and-a-half years ago.

DIY office expansion

We took over our new downstairs office suite when our neighbor decided to not renew their lease. We had a good fortune that the previous tenant was an interior decorator, so our new space had already been beautifully decorated. In typical Energy Toolbase fashion, we did the build-out of the new space ourselves. Our CEO John dusted off his old electrical contracting skills, to run electrical wires, cut conduit, and create a bunch of sawdust in our space. “It was a nice chance to get away from my computer screen for a change,” said John Gurski. “I wear so many hats most days, it was kind of a break getting to be a handyman”.
