A VERY POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP

---

Solarback, a pioneering impact investment solar company, has joined forces with Native Business Workforce Solutions to introduce a groundbreaking, no-cost training and solar farm program. This initiative is tailored to provide affordable, eco-friendly renewable energy to minority communities, with a primary focus on Native American tribes.

Through a unique partnership involving Native American entrepreneurs, led by Dr. Erich Bourgault, national solar experts, and a dedicated team of governmental Native American benefits advisors, we are able to navigate obstacles efficiently and accelerate project completion timelines. Together, we are committed to delivering tangible results and making a positive impact on our communities.

The 567 federally recognized Native American Tribes and Alaska Natives in the United States have many different languages and customs, but one thing they all share is a deep reverence for the natural world. It makes sense, then, that many tribes are choosing to go solar to help reduce their carbon footprints, save money on electric bills and create revenue on reservations.

Regrettably, years of neglect and insufficient investment in Native communities, coupled with intricate regulations, have posed obstacles to the shift towards clean energy sources.

Today, there is a historic, fully funded opportunity for Native American communities to acquire the solar arrays needed to harness the benefits of renewable energy technology. In addition to providing the necessary solar equipment and regulatory guidance, we offer training programs for community members to operate and maintain these green energy facilities.

Our Mission

Our mission is to supply the materials, construction, and training to service these solar systems—at no cost—enabling underserved and overlooked minorities to generate affordable clean energy now and far into the future. 

Each facility built through Solarback's program will:

• Reduce Energy Costs: Directly and immediately lower energy expenses for Native communities.
• Develop Renewable Resources: Contribute to the growth of renewable energy sources, mitigating climate change impacts.
• Create Jobs: Foster the creation of businesses and jobs that deliver long-term benefits for the planet and Native peoples.

This initiative will reduce energy costs and build a sustainable future, empowering Native American communities to thrive in a changing world.

"For the first time this year, IREC conducted qualitative interviews to gain more insight into the solar industry’s accomplishments and challenges related to diversity, equity, inclusion and workforce development. The “National Solar Jobs Census” found that the percentages of black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC), women and other diverse groups in the solar industry have improved in recent years."

We are committed to working closely with minority communities, offering support and resources to foster growth and sustainability.

Through workshops and in the field training, we educate community members on the benefits of sustainable practices and how to effectively use and maintain our systems.

By providing access to high-quality, sustainable products, we help communities save on operational costs and improve efficiency, driving economic empowerment and long-term growth.
