A lover of the natural world, Alison studied Environmental Science at Oregon State University where we quickly learned the pivotal role energy plays in our climate. After kick-starting her 20-year career with the German Solar Industry Association in Berlin, Alison first focused on roof top solar, then helped grow a US monitoring and controls provider into a global brand, took a short foray into supply chain and distribution, and is now happily focused on utility-scale projects. As the Business Development Manager for SOLV Energy’s Services Division, Alison rustles up new opportunities for partnerships so that the largest, ground-mounted solar projects operate reliably, and responsibly. When she’s not working with IPPs and project owners to construct, operate, and repower their assets, she’s chasing her two kids or riding her horses through the sage brush.
