Empowering Communities by Linking Today's Energy Needs to a Cleaner Tomorrow
At SOLink Energy Ventures (SEV), our mission is to empower small, rural communities through sustainable energy solutions. By linking the sun’s power to a clean energy future, we create economic opportunities for those communities while also supporting impactful organizations dedicated to improving the lives of sick children and their families.
SEV’s utility-scale solar projects generate revenue and create jobs for local communities. SOLink takes pride in working alongside these communities as they lead the charge into a clean energy future. Our approach has attracted top talent from within the solar industry and beyond, including experts with extensive experience in leading large corporations and developing utility-scale solar projects across the United States.

In order to deliver the brand promise of…
Empowering Communities by Linking Today’s Energy Needs with a Cleaner Tomorrow,
SOLink has created operational pillars to support that promise.
Empowering Communities
SOLink is focused on partnering with communities that have not been able to participate in the 21st century economy and, in particular, small rural communities. By linking the sun’s power to a clean energy future, we create economic opportunities for those communities while also supporting impactful organizations dedicated to improving the lives of sick children and their families. This approach makes us unique in the solar development industry. Not only do we have a mission to help save the environment but our mission also leads us to partnering with local communities and children’s charities to create a brighter future for everyone.
Conception to Electrification
Our approach to projects is focused on building, owning, and operating each facility for the long term. This strategy has enabled us to secure a trusted financing partner, Excelsior Energy Capital (EEC), one of the most respected names in the renewable energy sector. This strong financial foundation, coupled with our team of dedicated experts who understand every phase of solar development, enables us to successfully deliver projects from conception to full electrification.
Team of Passionate Experts
Over the past three years, the team at SOLink has focused on attracting world-class talent and building strategic partnerships to fulfill our brand promise. Our team successfully launched Painted Desert Energy and developed two major projects over 700MW. Our mission-driven approach has drawn a diverse group of highly successful professionals from both inside and outside the solar industry. Our experts in solar development, engineering, and utility-scale interconnection are not only deeply committed to our mission but also dedicated to delivering projects on time and within budget. This strategic partnership approach has attracted a valuable development partner, Cleantech Industry Resources (CIR). CIR has assisted in developing thousands of solar projects all over the country and brings that significant expertise to all of our projects as well.
