SOLAR PROJECT DEVELOPER
Conner
Allen

Get to Know Conner

I’ve spent the past 7 years in the solar industry, where I’ve had the opportunity to develop over 500 solar projects across the Midwest. My experience spans commercial, industrial, residential, and non-profit solar installations, and I’ve also had the privilege of managing a large team of solar sales professionals. I’m well-versed in tax equity and private equity investments, which allows me to structure effective financing solutions for solar projects.

I graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Renewable Energy, where I refined my expertise in delivering clean energy solutions to a wide range of clients. Additionally, I've earned my NABCEP PV Associate™ certification, a rigorous professional renewable energy standard.

Outside of my work in solar, I’m an outdoor enthusiast who loves to spend time in nature. Camping, hiking, kayaking, and climbing are some of my favorite activities, and I enjoy getting out on the water with my boat whenever I can. 

When I’m not outdoors, I’m spending time with my fiancé & 7-year-old husky rescue. My passion for the environment is something that influences both my personal and professional life, as I believe in the power of renewable energy to help non-profits, businesses, and homeowners manage ever increasing energy costs.
