Husband, father, and beloved SES President Rick Peters lives locally in the Severna Park area. As a long-time board member and former chairman of CHESSA (Chesapeake Solar and Storage Association), the solar industry’s regional trade association, Rick’s fingerprints are all over the DMV area’s solar industry. He holds a mechanical engineering degree from Marquette University and an MBA from the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business. Rick served the US Navy as a civilian engineering project manager in submarine silencing and held various management positions for a Fortune 500 packaging manufacturer before a 9-year career in Information Technology services. In 2008 Rick partnered with SES’s founder Roger Perry to embark on a new career in solar energy.

Rick enjoys his free time on the waterways of the Chesapeake, be it by boat, kayak, or paddleboard, and is a proud supporter of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. An all-around athlete who competed in both basketball and lacrosse, Rick stays active on the ski slopes and at the climbing gym. Often found hard at work well into the evening, Rick sets the company example as a tireless proponent of the greatest energy resource.
