About Us

Distributed Generation and Energy Storage for Maximum Impact

Paddle Energy was founded with the goal to develop distributed solar and storage projects that make renewable energy accessible to local communities. We focus on distributed generation knowing that smaller sized solar farms with a dispersed geographic placement result in greater grid resiliency and increased energy security. Because of this, we believe distributed solar and energy storage provides the most benefits to energy users, landowners, partners, and communities as a whole.

Over 50 Years of Combined Development Experience

From installing thousands of individual roof-top systems across military bases, to leading a top utility scale solar energy company, our team has a varied and extensive background in the industry that allows us to bring unique insight to our development process with the end product in mind. We leverage our development knowledge to anticipate issues, offer creative solutions, and ask the right questions that result in high quality, financially beneficial distributed solar and storage projects.

Our Mission

We develop distributed solar and energy storage for lasting impact. Through our expertise, commitment to integrity, and established industry relationships, we work with landowners, communities, and utilities to create quality projects.

Our Vision

Paddle Energy’s vision is to create a better world powered by renewable energy through ingenuity, transparency, and adaptability.

Our Values

Genuine Partnership

Whether you’re a landowner, prospective project owner, or an employee, we want all of our partners to feel understood and valued.

By creating solutions that benefit all sides, following through on our promises, and addressing concerns with understanding, we cultivate real relationships that last beyond the scope of the project.

Intentional Growth

We believe in steady and purposeful growth for the greatest impact.

Maintaining a nimble and dedicated development team allows us to focus on highly viable projects and deftly adjust to changes in an ever-evolving industry.

Holistic Value

We empower family farms with sustainable solar solutions.

From protecting family farms and environmental resources, to helping create fair and beneficial policy, we work to develop solar projects that provide the strongest mutual benefit for all parties. Throughout our development process, we not only consider the financial value of the project, but the overarching long term value to landowners, communities, and the environment.
