Harnessing the sun and nurturing the land we build on by empowering those connected to it
Our Values
Landowners are more than just a means to access solar resource.
We are faced with multi-faceted challenges of
-
supporting groups historically disadvantaged through energy development policies,
-
transitioning to renewable energy, and
-
achieving food security.
​
Renewables development can serve as a means to navigate these challenges but there are important questions to answer:
-
How do we prevent a repeat of past unjust energy and resource development practices that harmed tribes and first nations under the guise of economic development?
-
How do we optimize land use to simultaneously harness solar energy and grow crops without compromising agricultural productivity or ecological integrity?
-
What innovative practices and technologies are needed to ensure that this symbiosis not only co-exists but thrives, fostering a future where energy generation and agriculture sustainably support humanity's growing needs?
​
This requires us to consider the nuanced dynamics between land use, respecting landowners and indigenous people, economic gain, and sustainable practices.
​
​
THIS IS WHERE SATTVA CAN PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE
​
-
We believe that landowners are more than just a means to access solar resource. Indigenous group and farmers are in fact owners of the solar resource that they nurture their land with.
-
Our model fosters a relationship with landowners and disadvantaged groups where renewable energy development complements community prosperity and financial security.
How is Sattva different?
At Sattva, we value those who are connected to the land first and foremost. Our objective is to help harness the power of the sun (and the land) to benefit those who live on the land.
This is how we can achieve balance and purity while remaining alert to our mission of clean energy development.
Meaning of Sattva
The term Sattva is part of a second century Vedas (ancient Indian philosophy).
Sattva is one of three ‘gunas’ (mode of existence and the subconscious).
Its direct translation is "philosophical concept of balance, purity and alertness".
