WHY SOLVEST

COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

Solvest works closely with communities to identify their specific energy needs and designs robust renewable energy systems that are tailored to maximize impact and economic benefits.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Solvest prioritizes community collaboration throughout project development. Through joint development of training programs that align with the specific goals of the client, community members become equipped with the skills needed for careers in renewable energy. This approach has proven successful in projects like the Old Crow solar project and the KDFN McIntyre homes project.

SUSTAINABLE REVENUE GENERATION

Our renewable energy solutions are designed to generate revenue within the community, fostering local economic development and ensuring that the benefits remain within the community for long-term sustainability

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Solvest understands the importance of meaningful community involvement and support for local development. We create engagement plans and materials that are rooted in the community and tailored to the unique demands of each energy project.

  • In-person sessions and online surveys: Planning and facilitating engagement through multiple channels to ensure as many community members as possible have a chance to learn and participate. 

  • Project posters and pamphlets: Materials featuring community-specific diagrams and illustrations to make project details clear and accessible.

  • Illustrated storyboarding: Using storytelling and visuals to convey important project information in an engaging, memorable way. This may include developing a community energy vision to support future development. 

  • Illustrated booklets: Energy terms and concepts translated into the local dialect, serving both as an educational resource and a means of language preservation.
