About

Charles “Chuck” Smith is president of Current Electric Co., a Brookfield-based electrical contractor that pairs traditional residential and commercial electrical work with solar PV, battery storage, generators, and EV charging.

A Legacy Solar Co-op installer feature calls him a solar pioneer whose interest in source-direct energy shaped the firm’s early PV installations when systems were still cost-prohibitive for all but early adopters.

More than two decades into solar work—and roughly forty years as a full-service electrical contractor—Current Electric markets itself among Wisconsin’s longest-standing solar installers, working with utilities and inspectors on interconnection standards and serving projects from neighborhood rooftops to commercial roofs and Native American community systems. The same feature cites a roughly one-megawatt Milwaukee-area high-school install across 17 roof sections.

Current Electric also runs community giving under “Current Cares.” Smith’s public footprint is that of an owner-operator contractor who built a specialty solar practice inside a long-running Brookfield electrical shop.
