SOLV Energy may not be a known name yet, but the company’s presence in the solar industry is already considerable. SOLV Energy is the new combination of solar construction company Swinerton Renewable Energy and O&M division SOLV, now officially a separate entity<\/a> from general contractor Swinerton Builders. All existing Swinerton RE employees are shifting to the renewable energy-focused SOLV Energy, effective today.<\/p>\n

We last had an extended interview<\/a> with SOLV Energy president George Hershman in 2016, just after the 2015-extension of the federal investment tax credit (ITC). Then-called Swinerton, the company was celebrating the significant achievement of reaching 1 GW of cumulative solar installations. Now SOLV Energy is installing over 2 GW of projects each year. <\/em>A lot has definitely changed in five years.<\/p>\n

In this episode of the Contractor’s Corner podcast, a first “repeat” for the series, we talk to Hershman about the new SOLV Energy name and focus, and how it affects the top solar contractor<\/a>‘s standing in the industry.<\/p>\n

A portion of the interview is below, but be sure to listen to the full podcast for even more insight, including the recklessness right now around suggested tariffs, what’s needed to boost domestic manufacturing and how the big guys are dealing with supply chain disruptions.<\/p>\n
