Our Initiatives
SKIP THE GRID
Through collaboration with colleges and universities, local school districts, customers, and industry partners like Nextpower, SOLV Energy delivers off-grid solar solutions that support education and daily life in underserved communities. This program reflects our ongoing commitment to building a more resilient and equitable energy future through strong partnerships and shared purpose.
Building Brighter Futures Through Community Partnership
These transformations go beyond infrastructure. New libraries stocked with hundreds of books open worlds for young readers. Refreshed teachers' lounges give educators spaces to recharge. Updated student resource areas become places where learning feels inviting, accessible, and built to last.
These investments ripple outward, reminding us why partnering with communities matters.
Inspiring Young Climate Leaders Through STEM
The first program in the series, Food Rescue, was developed with Feeding San Diego to highlight the connection between food waste, hunger, and climate change. Girls can earn their Food Rescue patch by taking action, whether that means volunteering at Feeding San Diego or sharing what they’ve learned with their communities.
Through these lessons, Girl Scouts are empowered to make meaningful and lasting change, one project at a time.
Government Engagement
The Impact Group provides holistic efforts to partner with jobsite teams, local community members, local policy representatives, organizations, and client partners to create and provide custom programs for our projects. By getting into communities early and often, we can support the unique local needs to make a lasting impact.
Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG)
Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop with our renewable energy projects. By pursuing innovative approaches to designs that produce less waste, develops ways to reuse and recycle materials, and setting ethical labor standards, we’re continuing our mission to seek more ethical practices and reduce our carbon footprint.
Measurable Progress and Purpose-Driven Impact
We’re proud to share our inaugural Impact & ESG Report, Impact with Purpose. Throughout 2024, our teams worked hard to advance meaningful partnerships, deepen stakeholder engagement, and strengthen the trust that defines SOLV Energy as a premier lifecycle partner.
From investing in communities to driving forward responsible and transparent practices, this report highlights how our mission shows up in real-world impact. By collaborating with local organizations, empowering our workforce, and supporting sustainable infrastructure across every stage of the energy lifecycle, we’re demonstrating that solar and storage is more than technology, it’s a commitment to people and place.
We look forward to building on these milestones in the years ahead, with purpose guiding every step.

Defining What Matters Most for People and Planet
To help define and prioritize our most important ESG and impact commitments, SOLV Energy conducted a formal materiality assessment designed to guide our long-term strategy. Through this in-depth process, we engaged a wide range of stakeholders, from employees and community partners to industry leaders and subject matter experts, to better understand their expectations and insights.
We also aligned with widely accepted ESG reporting frameworks and reviewed best practices across our sector to ensure we captured the most relevant opportunities and risks. The outcome of this collaborative work is a focused set of ESG priorities that will help us address emerging challenges, maximize positive impacts, and build resilience across our operations.
By identifying what matters most to both our business and the communities we serve, SOLV Energy can continue delivering responsible, transparent, and meaningful progress.
