SHARE THIS ARTICLE

MOTIVE Energy Telecommunications has added a new dimension to their stable of resources, having been an established provider of turnkey solutions and construction services for the wireless and wireline telecommunications industry. In July, the company acquired DS Energy Solutions, a solar energy design and installations provider headquartered in Victorville, CA.

Founded in 2007, DS has been involved in a wide range of projects including schools, municipalities, and commercial buildings. Notable projects are Apple Valley Unified School District, City of Adelanto and the Bishop’s Ranch Community Center Mall. DS Energy Solutions has been a developer in the solar carports-canopy systems and has been erecting solar structures in house for more than a decade. The company will continue to operate as DS Energy Solutions, a division of MOTIVE.

“The addition of DS Energy Solutions reinforces MOTIVE as a one-stop shop for all design and construction services,” said Bob Istwan, MOTIVE CEO, “and now can provide our customers with a greater depth and knowledge of solar energy storage solutions.”

With over 200 employees and located across six states, MOTIVE has grown into one of the largest regional, privately-owned infrastructure providers with over 200 employees. From its headquarters in Fountain Valley, CA, the company has branches in California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and West Texas along with regional partners throughout the U.S. to support projects locally.

The acquisition provides DS Energy Solutions greater financial capital to promote growth and expand their services outside of California to all existing MOTIVE markets, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas. Looking to the future, MOTIVE anticipates continued growth in an ever-growing and evolving industry.
