Renewable Energy Scholarship
SOLV Energy was founded in 2008 with a clear purpose: build energy infrastructure that performs and lasts. Since then, the company has grown into a leading utility-scale solar and storage contractor, delivering over 20 GW of capacity, maintaining 18 GW of operating assets, and supporting the communities where we work.
At SOLV Energy, the mission stays constant: power the grid with projects built right, maintained well, and designed to deliver for decades.
SOLV Energy's impact extends beyond the projects we build. The work creates opportunity, and sharing that opportunity matters.
The PowerUp! Scholarship gives us a chance to connect with students passionate about energy, infrastructure, and the industries shaping how we power the future. Up to 6 high school seniors will be awarded $1,500 each to support their education and the paths they're building.
Empowering Native Leaders
SOLV Energy's partnership with the Navajo Nation began in 2019. Each year, the company works alongside Heart of America through Skip the Grid, a collaborative effort bringing stable electricity to homes of Navajo students identified by local school districts and their staff.
That commitment continues through the PowerUp! Scholarship. One of the 2026 awards is reserved for an Indigenous high school senior, creating dedicated resources for Native students pursuing higher education.
