- 2003
Solar Supply becomes a distributor of Luxaire brand HVAC products, and goes on to rank as the brand's number one distributor.

Growing, and giving back
Solar Supply opened its first Florida branch with a barbecue lunch for Pensacola contractors in 2019. Away from the counter, it has supported Make-A-Wish for years alongside Luxaire. The Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana chapter recognized the company with its WishMaker award, and a 2012 golf classic and auction it sponsored in Sugar Land raised nearly $50,000.
