The Rise of True Beacon

In 2020, the world felt different. Uncertainty was in the air. Power grids were failing more often. Costs were rising. And people everywhere were starting to question the systems they once trusted.

Nicholas Piche had spent over 15 years mastering his craft as an electrician—wiring homes, powering buildings, and solving problems others couldn’t.

He built a solid local electrical contracting business with his own hands. But as the world changed, so did his vision.

He didn’t want to just fix power—he wanted to redefine it.

Nicholas saw something bigger: a chance to help people reclaim their energy, their security, and their future. He saw the cracks in the old system—and the power of solar to break free from it.

True Beacon rebrand by Kickcharge Creative (2023)

That’s when True Beacon was born. Not just a rebrand. A rebirth. A movement forged from frustration, fired by expertise, and aimed at creating real energy independence for everyday people.

The rebrand to the name True Beacon represents guidance, reliability, truth and transparency. This brand says "We light the way to energy independance"

True Beacon's bold purple, electric orange and gold make it instantly recognizable and memorable. Orange evokes energy, power and action, while the purple and gold suggest quality, premium service and innovation.

Because when the grid fails, families shouldn't. When the lights go out, homes shouldn't go dark. And when uncertainty strikes, energy should be the last thing anyone worries about.

Built Different

True Beacon was founded by an expert—not a marketer. We are not just another solar company riding a trend. We’re a company built by licensed electricians who understand the voltage, the risk, the codes, the craft—and who believe that solar isn’t just a product. It’s a right.

  • We train in-house. We install in-house. We stand behind every panel, every wire, every bolt.

  • We serve residential clients, commercial properties, farms, and institutions—with the same care and precision.

  • We lead with discipline, integrity, and technical excellence.

While other companies chase sales quotas, we’re chasing energy sovereignty. Because energy isn’t just about light and power—it’s about control, freedom, and future-proofing the lives of the people we serve.

Our Mission

The traditional grid can’t keep up with modern life. It’s aging, slow, and expensive. But solar? Solar is fast. Scalable. Clean. And it's the most powerful tool we have to build a resilient energy future.

True Beacon exists to ignite that future—one rooftop, one system, one empowered family at a time.

This isn’t just business.


This is energy rebellion.


And we’re here to lead it.
