Smart Optimal Solutions 鈥� SOS America, founded two years ago, specializes in sourcing, aggregating, and distributing sustainable, cost-effective energy products. The company has 60.92 percent minority ownership and now employs 35 people. Revenues increased to $5.5 million for the most recent fiscal year from $4.1 million.

Under the leadership of CEO Patrice Tsague, SOS America has expanded its footprint in smart solar and interactive display technologies across the East and West coasts. The company recently installed Oregon鈥檚 first solar-plus-storage DC fast-charging station at Wildhorse Resort & Casino鈥檚 Arrowhead Travel Plaza. The facility features four dual-dispenser XCharge GridLink chargers with integrated solar and battery capacity.

Tsague explained that being a minority business owner means challenging stereotypes and using his platform to empower others.

鈥淭o be a minority business owner is to represent my community in spaces where we aren鈥檛 always seen,鈥� he stated. 鈥淚t鈥檚 about proving that we don鈥檛 just belong in this industry 鈥� we can lead it.鈥�

Looking ahead, SOS America plans to launch a Technology Innovation Center in Vancouver, Washington, expand Smart City projects to three new cities, integrate AI across operations, and establish the SOS Global Fund to reduce costs and open opportunities for minority-owned businesses.
