Got Electric Joins Mauloa’s 2026 SMB Accelerator

Got Electric LLC has been selected as one of three candidates in Mauloa’s 2026 SMB Accelerator, a three-month program for business growth. The Maryland electrical contractor joins Strategic Factory and AceCo in the cohort, chosen from businesses across the Washington, DC region. The program covers working capital, marketing, company culture and practical artificial intelligence use. It concludes November 25, when one participating business is expected to receive an investment offer of $10 million to $30 million.

Growth Support for Contractors

Got Electric serves commercial and residential customers across Maryland, Virginia and the Washington, DC region. Its work includes commercial electrical projects, commercial solar operations and maintenance, battery storage, electric vehicle infrastructure and residential electrical services.

The company enters the accelerator during a period of expansion in its electrical, commercial solar and energy-related operations. Mauloa provides participating companies with direct access to its team in the program’s four business-development areas.

“This opportunity is meaningful because it recognizes more than the projects Got Electric completes. It reflects the people, partnerships and investments in workforce development that have helped build the company. The accelerator gives us an opportunity to learn from experienced business leaders while continuing to strengthen the company our employees and customers depend on.”

Workforce and Solar Recognition

Solar Power World named Got Electric No. 92 nationally and No. 4 in Maryland on its 2026 Top Solar Contractors List. The company also received recognition for commercial solar work, rooftop projects and its role as an electrical subcontractor.

Got Electric has invested in apprenticeship and workforce-development programs for electricians and solar technicians. Apprentices receive paid field experience alongside licensed journeyperson electricians, while education partnerships in Maryland and Virginia connect classroom instruction with electrical and renewable-energy work.

Its work with Secure Solar Futures at Mountain Empire Community College in Virginia has also linked technical education with hands-on experience on large-scale solar installations.

“Got Electric stood out because its culture is a genuine competitive advantage. In an industry where skilled labor is the biggest constraint on growth, Grant and his team are developing their own talent through paid apprenticeships and education partnerships, while giving back to their community along the way. Grant is a leader we like, trust, and admire,”

Community Solar Support

In 2026, Got Electric donated 57 surplus solar panels to Shenandoah County SEARCH Inc., a Virginia nonprofit that provides residential services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and operates a community thrift store. Twelve panels are intended for SEARCH’s group home, where the planned system is projected to offset about 75% of the building’s electricity use.

The remaining 45 panels are intended for the organization’s thrift store when installation funding is secured. The donation was Got Electric’s second consecutive year redirecting surplus solar equipment to a nonprofit through its partnership with GiveSolar.

Program Runs Through November

Got Electric will remain in the accelerator through November 25 while continuing to serve customers and partners across its Mid-Atlantic service area. The company says it will use the program to review its next stage of growth.

“Being part of the accelerator is a reason to celebrate what Got Electric has been working toward for years. Strong technical capabilities matter, but so do the people building their careers here, the partnerships that make the work possible and the communities that trust Got Electric to serve them. Those are the things the company intends to keep building on.”
