Solar Gaines

Solar Gaines is a commercial solar construction company headquartered at 9 Schilling Road, Suite 210 in Hunt Valley, Maryland, in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The company was co-founded by lifelong friends Tom Gaines and Hans Wittich, who brought complementary backgrounds in construction and finance to the solar industry. Solar Gaines has been executing construction projects since the 1980s, and the company formally entered the solar market in 2009, applying decades of building expertise to commercial photovoltaic installations.

The company specializes in commercial solar projects of all sizes across Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Solar Gaines’ deep construction background gives the team expertise in structural analysis, roof loading calculations, and building integration that is particularly valuable for commercial installations where structural considerations are critical. The company handles project design, procurement, construction, and interconnection for each installation.

Clients highlight the company’s construction expertise, project management capabilities, and understanding of commercial building requirements as key differentiators from competitors focused primarily on residential installations.
