Kopp Electric Company

What Kopp Electric Company does

Kopp Electric Company is a family-owned electrical contracting firm headquartered in Toms River, New Jersey, founded in 1994. The company delivers three integrated service lines: electrical contracting (residential, commercial, and municipal), solar energy installation (residential, commercial, and municipal), and generator installation and maintenance. Its underlying technology stack is industry-standard electrical, solar PV, and backup-power equipment, supplemented by an in-house fleet of construction assets (scissor lifts, telehandlers, bucket trucks) and an apprenticeship-trained workforce.

The business operates on a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with free consultations as the top-of-funnel entry point. Customer segments span residential homeowners, small and mid-sized commercial businesses, municipal and government entities, and educational institutions, with a documented portfolio of 8.54 MW of completed solar capacity concentrated in New Jersey and adjacent Pennsylvania. GTM is direct field sales plus a website-driven consultation funnel, with no intermediaries, channel partners, or recurring subscription revenue. The company maintains a 16-year collaboration with New Jersey's clean energy programs and runs an electrical apprenticeship program launched in 1996 to develop its skilled-trade labor pipeline.

Kopp Electric is privately held with no disclosed external funding or institutional investors. Leadership is concentrated in the Kopp family: Harald Kopp (Owner), Joshua Kopp (Director of Business Development and Construction), Wolf Kopp (Director of Operations and Maintenance), and John Kopp (Director of Field Construction). Geographic reach is limited to the tri-state area of New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, with all large-scale projects executed to date by the in-house construction team.
