Our mission, Our story, Our cause, and Our exceptional team, all united to create innovative grow lights.
Soltech was founded by Michael Planer, Paul Hodges, and Chris Clark with the vision of promoting sustainable indoor farming. As they journeyed into the market they realized the popularity of growing houseplants was rapidly increasing, and there remained an opportunity to engineer an aesthetically pleasing grow light. A light that would not only provide the necessary light for plants to thrive, but also enhance the overall ambiance of the living space.
With this idea in mind, Soltech set out to create a revolutionary product that sets the stage for people's lives. The result was the Aspect, the world's first LED grow light that seamlessly blends functionality and design.
Today, Soltech continues to innovate and inspire individuals to bring the beauty of nature indoors through their products and sustainable practices.
Soltech is a privately owned small business driven by innovation, design, and a passion for plants. Every product is thoughtfully designed in Bethlehem, PA with a focus on performance, longevity, and timeless aesthetics.
We collaborate with trusted global manufacturing partners to bring these designs to life while maintaining our exacting standards for quality.
Education remains of the utmost importance to the company culture. We prioritize providing the next generation of creators the opportunity to see life on a global scale and to help demonstrate how humans are part of a global ecosystem. The purpose of the Built for Brilliance fund is to provide a $1,000 award annually to support a Temple University undergraduate student with financial needs.
At Soltech, we consider the welfare of the communities we serve to be integral to our success. Our goal is to improve the areas in which we do business by assisting regional projects and organizations that advance sustainability, education, and well-being. Our objective is to aid in the development of thriving, long-lasting communities, not only our home in Bethlehem, PA but communities across the globe.
We’ve worked alongside universities, non-profits, and institutions that share our mission to help plants, and the people who love them, thrive.
When we started Soltech, our goal was to create the most beautiful, high-performance grow lights possible. As we’ve grown, so has our responsibility to the planet, which is why we’re on a path to become carbon neutral by 2027, using more earth-friendly materials and biodegradable, fully recyclable packaging reducing our carbon footprint by 4 tons of CO2 per year. We also offer carbon-neutral shipping, ensuring every Soltech product brings light into your home without adding to your carbon footprint.
We want to introduce our culture to customers as they invite us into their homes because we know your space is as special to you as ours is to us.
