In 2016, inspired by years of working outdoors and with environmental and landscape construction professionals, Heckenkemper co-founded and is a partner in Site Solar, which designs and manufactures solar-powered, portable light towers and generators. Solar light towers are an alternative to diesel light towers and protect the environment by eliminating carbon emissions. Site Solar, which has locations and distributors throughout the southwest U.S., specializes in short- and long-term rental of portable, clean, renewable, bright, quiet light through solar power generation, and is especially suitable for the oil & gas industry, construction, public safety, mining, landfills, airports, events, and law enforcement/border patrol.
