Ames Chamber Of Commerce: Solar FX Expanding To Boone

Press release from the Ames Chamber of Commerce:

September 13, 2021

SOLAR FX Corporation, a turnkey company in the solar industry, is pleased to announce their move to Boone, Iowa, where they recently purchased the former Dodi Plaza at 1316 S Marshall Street.

Gary Lass, Founder, launched SOLAR FX in 2008 by installing small solar powered attic fans and solar arrays on homes. Today, SOLAR FX is a turnkey company that specializes in solar energy design, engineering, sales and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays on large agricultural sites, commercial sites and industrial sites. The purpose of the PV array is to reduce the cost of electricity and dependence on the utility grid for the owner.

The company has seen considerable growth and the search for a larger facility has been underway for the past 24 months. During the search for a new location, Lass also has been in the process of transitioning the day-to-day operations of the company to his son, Jeremy Lass, who will serve as Chief Executive Officer, and daughter, Charise Bailey, who will lead the company in the role of Chief Financial Officer.

“I am eager for my son and daughter to take the reins of the company and build upon the strong foundation that has been created. I will still be engaged with the company, but the overall management and operation of the company will be placed upon Jeremy and Charise, which is what I’ve worked for,” says Lass.
