ABOUT US

ABOUT US:
A FAMILY RUN BUSINESS

Trail Battery and Solar is a small family-run business near Trail, Ohio. Our business was started in 2006, when Jacob Hershberger began selling batteries and cables in a small shop next to his home. Already a successful plumbing contractor, Jacob saw the growing need among his Amish neighbors to generate and store their own electrical power.

Shortly after starting the battery business, Jacob’s family began installing solar panels and storage systems. Off-grid power was needed to generate power for Amish buggy batteries and limited home use.

From those humble beginnings, Trail Battery and Solar has grown to install energy systems of all sizes.  We can install systems that include kits or a few solar panels on your home.  Or, let us design large multiple panel systems that can run and entire shop or event center.

Our family business has now grown into the second generation and with a staff of expert installers and salesmen. We strive to grow our company to meet the energy needs both our local Amish community and clients all over Ohio and the surrounding states.

Please feel free to call us about installing a solar energy system for your home or business. Or, call us about the many options we carry in energy-efficient lighting, starting batteries, deep cycle batteries and solar panels.

We are members of the Walnut Creek Business Association.
