Business Profile: Family-Owned C.D. Lyon, Inc. Embraces Green Energy with Innovative Solar Installation

Celebrating their Chamber ribbon cutting ceremony on July 11, 2024.

C.D. Lyon, Inc. was founded in January 2011 by siblings Jeff and Kiki Lyon. At that time, they were working for their parents’ company, C.D. Lyon Construction, Inc., established in 1985. Seeking to stay in the industry, they started their own company. Their parents have since retired, and the original company was dissolved. Jeff and Kiki are proud to be the third generation of business owners on the westside, following their parents and their uncle Harry Lyon, who also ran a business on the Avenue. In honor of Harry Lyon’s community contributions, the Harry A. Lyon Park in Ventura bears his name.

C.D. Lyon, Inc. is a full-service general engineering contractor capable of handling a wide range of construction and maintenance services. The company is licensed, bonded, and insured to work both onshore and offshore, with USL&H coverage. Their mission is to build long-term relationships and conduct business safely, to specified quality standards, on schedule, and within budget. Their core values include safety, integrity, dependability, unity, and productivity. Their multi-skilled personnel provide clients with exceptional service.

Continuing their parents’ legacy, Jeff and Kiki have elevated the company to new heights by diversifying its energy sources. This ensures operational resilience and promotes a cleaner, more efficient future for the community.

In a transformative step towards sustainability, C.D. Lyon partnered with Wicks Roofing and Solar to install a 104kW Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Energy Storage System (ESS). This system marks a significant milestone in Ventura’s transition to sustainable energy solutions.

The installation was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 11, 2024, hosted by the Ventura Chamber of Commerce and attended by Ventura’s mayor, council members, and state representatives. Jared Bobb, CEO of Wicks and a Ventura Westside resident, said, “For Ventura, this project represents more than just a technological advancement; it signifies a shift towards energy independence and environmental responsibility.”
