About Us
Meet the Team
Built on Service. Driven by Purpose. Powered for Texas.
Aguasol Energy was built on a simple belief: Texans deserve energy solutions they can trust. Under the leadership of Juan Menchaca and Renato Olivares Jr., the company operates with the same discipline, integrity, and mission-first mindset that defined their military service.
Together, they bring a balance of vision and execution that drives the company forward. Juan’s experience building solar companies and managing complex energy projects is complemented by Renato’s strength in operational leadership, sales strategy, and engineering coordination. Their partnership ensures that every project across Texas is handled with professionalism, precision, and accountability.
What truly sets their leadership apart is a mission-driven mindset shaped by their time in the U.S. Army. Discipline, integrity, and responsibility are not just ideals — they are the foundation of how Aguasol Energy serves its customers. From the first conversation with a homeowner to the final system activation, the team approaches every project with the same level of commitment and attention to detail.
As a Texas-based company, Aguasol Energy understands the unique energy landscape of the state — from rapidly growing cities to rural communities looking for reliable energy independence. Juan and Renato lead with a clear purpose: helping Texans harness the power of solar while building a company known for trust, quality, and long-term relationships.
For Juan and Renato, this work is more than business — it’s a responsibility to lead well, build trust, and help power the future of Texas. ⚡🌞

After enlisting in the Army out of high school, Juan earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management from the University of Texas at Arlington while serving on active duty. Over a 20-year military career, he rose through the ranks as both a Noncommissioned and Commissioned Officer, retiring in 2019 as an Engineer Captain. He led soldiers at Ft. Bliss, Ft. Stewart, and during overseas deployments to Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan, ultimately commanding more than 110 soldiers with accountability, discipline, and mission-focused leadership.
In 2014, Juan transitioned into renewable energy, training as a PV Installer before joining SolarCity, later acquired by Tesla, Inc.. Through hard work and technical excellence, he advanced to Crew Lead and Project Manager, contributing to the installation of more than 12,000 solar panels across multiple states. His leadership extended to overseeing a 1.2 MW solar installation at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas — a project that reflected both precision execution and continued service to military communities.
In 2018, Juan co-founded Sonovus Energy, scaling the company to over 3,000 residential and commercial solar and battery installations totaling more than 35 MW and $32 million in sales. In 2023, he founded Aguasol Energy LLC. In less than two years, Juan and his close sales partner Dru Benn surpassed $3 million in residential and commercial solar sales.
Today, Juan continues to lead with the same principles that defined his military service — integrity, accountability, and commitment to excellence. He is a true steward and gatekeeper of his profession, striving to elevate the standard of workmanship and ethics in both installation and sales.
