Impact

Through Skip the Grid, SOLV Energy partners with Heart of America and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to bring reliable, renewable electricity to Navajo Nation students living without power at home.

Working with local school districts, project teams identify families with limited or no access to electricity and equip their homes with Goal Zero solar systems, including a 400-watt panel, 1000-hour battery, and two lights. These systems provide enough clean power for essentials like lighting, refrigeration, and small devices. All supporting learning and daily life.

SOLV Energy’s commitment to the Navajo Nation began in 2019, when we partnered with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority to deliver clean energy in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. Today, Skip the Grid continues that mission, helping build a more resilient, equitable future for students and their families.

SOLV Energy partners with Girl Scouts San Diego to inspire future STEM leaders through a series of sustainability-focused education programs. Together, we created hands-on activities that help girls and young women explore critical topics including food rescue, tree planting, ocean protection, solar energy, and water conservation.

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.

SOLV Energy partnered with CIM Group and Heart of America to transform the library, teachers’ lounge, and student resource spaces at Stratford Elementary School in Stratford, California. As the EPC contractor on CIM Group’s Westlands Solar Park project, we’re committed to supporting communities not just through sustainable energy, but also through meaningful educational initiatives.

The heart of this transformation was the creation of two new school libraries: one for kindergarten through third grade, and another for grades four through eight, stocked with over 360 inspiring books. Updates to outdoor murals further enrich the campus, creating spaces where students can learn, dream, and thrive.

This project shows what’s possible when partners invest in education, community, and opportunity together.

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.

We’re proud to share our inaugural Impact & ESG Report, Impact with Intention. Throughout 2023, 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 clean energy 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 intention guiding every step.
