Meet Arno Aghamalian of Solar Optimum in Glendale

Today we’d like to introduce you to Arno Aghamalian.

Solar Optimum President and CEO, Arno, began his industry-changing family business in 2008 and has transformed his vision into California’s premier solar company. Today, his business is now a dynamic, expert-driven enterprise with a knowledgeable workforce empowered to install customers throughout California.

A natural-born innovator and visionary, Arno made his mark overseas as an entrepreneur and inventor.

With early career success establishing and managing manufacturing plants and distribution centers that grew into multi-million dollar businesses, he sought out a new challenge. Looking for an investment that would not only grow with advances in technology, but would also be Earth-friendly in a big way, Arno found his answer in solar energy.

Setting out with a noble objective, Arno’s vision has made Solar Optimum one of the leading solar providers in the nation. In 2017, Solar Power World Magazine ranked Solar Optimum in the top 15% solar installers in the U.S., #23 in California for residential solar and #8 in California for commercial solar.

Arno has passionately given back to the community, including charitable work and is a forward-thinking company with old world values — values that have translated into a superior work ethic as well as a dedication to the well-being of the community.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
In this industry, we refer to it as the “solar coaster.” Over the past few years, many companies– large, national brands as well as smaller local installers, have folded to due intense competition. I believe the reason why they did not last is the lost sight of what was most important. And that is, customer service. For the last 10 years, I’ve built this company based on the customer’s needs. We’ve also stayed aggressive in remaining one of the leaders in renewable energy and the technology behind it. We only work with the best partners who continue to revolutionize the green industry. Many companies have failed and struggled because they did not stay ahead of the curve.

Solar Optimum has and that’s been our secret to success.

We’d love to hear more about your business.
We are leaders in supplying solar energy to residential, commercial, and industrial clients. Our team is made up of professionals that aim to protect the environment with the latest technologies as well as offer long-term savings to the consumer.

Our experience in business and the value we place on each individual puts us one step ahead of the competition. Our goal in business is to ensure customer satisfaction and provide ideal solutions.
