John Matheny

John Matheny, Installation Manager, oversees solar installations and supervises the Solar Works crew. John is integral to the process from the start, and continues with post-installation customer support. A busy guy who always takes time to answer questions, John dedicates part of almost every day to talking with customers – when he’s not involved in the more technical aspects of his work. John began his solar career as a Solar Works installer in 2009, and as a life-long student, continues to sharpen his considerable solar and other wide-ranging knowledge and expertise. John is a Sebastopol native and Analy High School graduate with strong ties to the community. An ornamental fabricator and certified structural steel welder, John is the 4th generation of the family’s welding business that his great-grandfather founded. He’s a natural tinkerer of all things mechanical, with experience in construction, car repair, woodworking, and a variety of projects that demand diligence and creativity. In his non-working time, John loves long board surfing, bicycling, backpacking, canyoneering, rock climbing, working on his overland truck, and enjoying outdoor adventures with his wife.
