Our story
The purpose behind InWave
Mohammad Najjar and Asfandyar Khan, P.E., founded InWave Renewables with a shared goal: to make sustainable energy more accessible.
Both grew up in places where electricity was often unreliable or unavailable. Those experiences shaped their understanding of how energy access affects everyday life, businesses, and opportunity.
Their careers in renewable energy and construction led to executive and operational roles at large national EPC firms. They established InWave to bring that experience to a purpose that was personal to both of them.
Today, that purpose guides our work in solar and battery storage, combining practical engineering with close involvement throughout project delivery.
