Where we started
In 1990, Byron Zerphy noticed a problem: the arrow boards used in highway construction zones ran on internal combustion engines that needed constant refueling, broke down often, and were loud, dirty, and bad for the environment. He knew he could build something better, equipment powered entirely by the sun, with no fuel and no maintenance. So he went to work in the garage of his rented house in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and with his wife Diane's help, Solar Technology, Inc. was born. Drawing on his background in electrical engineering and computer science, Byron designed and built the world's first arrow board that ran on 100% solar power.
More than three decades later, solar power is the industry standard for portable traffic control equipment, and SolarTech has kept leading the way: the first full-matrix LED signs in 1998, free communications on every message and arrow board by 2017. The mission hasn't changed since that garage in Allentown: build better products through smarter design and manufacturing, and keep raising the value of what we make and the support behind it. Byron wouldn't have it any other way.
