about us

Solar adoption has been slow because of low awareness, upfront costs, complex processes, and limited financing options.

This is where Helios saw an opportunity to make solar as simple and accessible as getting a home loan.

Meet the Team

Edmund Martinez

Chief Executive Officer

Story timeline

  1. Learning the rules of regulated industries

    Edmund built his core in financial services — an arena where compliance, trust, and precision aren’t optional. He learned early that scaling businesses in regulated environments means mastering the rules so well you can eventually rewrite them.

  2. From transactions to ecosystems

    Edmund moved beyond single-product companies into platform models — businesses where value is created not just for one customer, but across an entire network. This shift in perspective would prove essential for what came next.

  3. Bringing execution-first thinking to clean energy

    Edmund saw in solar energy the same structural opportunity he’d navigated in financial services: a complex, trust-dependent sector ripe for a builder who understood both capital and operations. He joined Helios not as a caretaker, but as an architect.

  4. Standing up the EPC business

    The first job was establishing Helios as a credible engineering, procurement, and construction company — delivering real solar installations to real customers. Under Edmund’s leadership, execution became the brand. Every project on time, on spec, on promise.

  5. Unlocking financing for solar access

    Edmund recognized that the biggest barrier to solar adoption isn’t technology — it’s affordability. He led Helios into financing structures that make clean energy accessible to households and businesses who couldn’t otherwise go solar. Capital became a tool for inclusion.

  6. Building the aggregation layer

    With installations growing, Edmund drove Helios toward aggregation — bringing together installers, financiers, and customers under a unified platform. Helios stopped being just a solar company and started becoming the connective tissue of a clean energy ecosystem.

  7. Helios as an energy platform

    Today Edmund is building toward the bigger vision: Helios as a full energy platform — where solar generation, financing, data, and community empowerment converge. The goal isn’t just to sell panels. It’s to fundamentally change how Filipinos access, own, and benefit from clean energy.

Timothy Go

Chief Operations Officer

Story timeline

  1. Built operations from scratch

    Tim didn’t just manage operations — he built them. Across e-commerce and retail, he learned to take complex, moving-parts businesses and make them run reliably, at scale.

  2. Moved into infrastructure & energy

    He expanded into infrastructure-led businesses where the stakes are higher — a missed delivery or broken process isn’t a minor inconvenience, it’s a lost customer and a damaged brand.

  3. Joined Helios as COO

    Tim brought his operator’s playbook to Helios — owning the full arc of execution from the first sales conversation to the final panel installed on a rooftop.

  4. Optimizing the machine

    Behind the scenes, Tim continuously tightens workflows and builds systems that scale — so as Helios grows, quality never slips. He’s the reason commitments become completions.

  5. Holding the standard

    His benchmark is simple: if a customer said yes to Helios, they deserve the best version of what was promised. Every project. Every time. That’s the standard Tim holds the entire operation to.
