FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - May 15, 2019 - illiNews -- As corporate demand for solar energy rises, a strategic acquisition brings Advanced Green Technologies (AGT), Florida's largest commercial solar contractor, a veteran in-house electric contracting team to streamline schedules and trim costs.

AGT's parent company, Advanced Roofing Inc., today announced it has acquired Davie, Florida-based electrical contractor MSC Electric Inc.

Founded in 2001 by Michael Cervone, a Florida Licensed Unlimited Electrical Contractor, MSC Electric is a longtime subcontractor for AGT on major solar energy projects. Cervone will serve as AGT's electrical division manager overseeing all electrical functions, from design through installation, for solar rooftop, solar farm, and solar carport solutions.

"As more Fortune 500 and other high-profile companies commit to being carbon neutral by 2025 or 2030, their need to produce enough renewable energy is pushing demand for commercial solar energy to record levels in Florida," said Sockman. "Once corporations adopt policies to reduce their sizeable carbon footprints, the clock is running. They must consider all alternatives based on their real estate portfolios, and we find rooftop solar arrays and solar carports are always under discussion."

Sockman expects Advanced Roofing's revenues, which topped $95 million in 2018, to continue growing this year, fueled in part by the rise in solar energy demand. "The vision of corporate America is clear. They need to quickly find ways to produce more renewable energy," he said. "Fortunately, the economics of solar energy has never been better."

Availability of federal tax credits for 30 percent of commercial solar energy installations' costs until year-end 2019 is boosting corporate clients' sense of urgency, Sockman said. "Our pipeline is seeing significant growth as more companies realize they can access tax credits by spending at least five percent of a project's estimated costs by year-end," he added.

Acquiring MSC Electric is the latest vertical integration step for AGT and Advanced Roofing, a diversified corporation whose additional Florida licenses include Roofing Contractor, General Contractor, Solar Contractor, and Air Conditioning Contractor.
