Formerly a New York City cab driver, Ahmed Elgheur was inspired to begin his career in the renewable energy industry when he gave a cab ride to a charismatic California businessman who was involved in the financing of solar projects overseas. While speaking with the businessman, Mr. Elgheur learned of renewable energy systems such as solar and wind systems and their benefits to people and the environment, as well as the problematic reliance on fossil energy, and the conflicts that have arisen from demand for traditional energy products. As a result of this meeting, Ahmed Elgheur discovered a passion for making a difference in the world by helping to provide free and continuous energy. He then began his education on the various aspects of electricity and renewable energies. A few months later, he joined a friend's solar company and assisted for a year with the installation of solar projects, until founding Elger EnergySystems.
