Victoria, BC – For the third consecutive year, First Light Technologies has been ranked as one of the fastest growing companies in Canada by the Growth 500. With a 5 year revenue growth rate of 1125%, the self-contained solar light manufacturer climbed 113 positions to rank 77th.
“We’re really excited to be included with such a great group of companies for the third year in a row,” said First Light CEO Sean Bourquin. “Our growth is thanks to our amazing team and it’s a great validation of the approach we’ve taken to solar lighting.
Self-Contained Solar Lighting
First Light has been a pioneer in self-contained solar light products. Unlike traditional solar lights, self-contained solar integrates the battery and solar panel seamlessly in the fixture to make install much easier. The lights also incorporate adaptive capabilities to eliminate the need for site specific system modelling required by other solar lighting solutions.
“I think we’re only starting to see the potential of solar lighting,” said Bourquin. “Our goal has always been to make solar lighting as simple and reliable as possible. With our innovative technology and a self-contained design approach that takes out much of the complexity of modelling and install, I think we’re going to have a lot more solar powered lighting in the future.”
