Eric Nelson

Solar Technician

As a Solar Technician on SunPeak's O&M team, Eric supports the long-term performance and reliability of SunPeak systems by performing preventative maintenance, repairs, troubleshooting, and commissioning work in the field.

Eric began his career in residential construction and green building, where he gained an in-depth understanding of building systems and performance. His interest in renewable energy started in college, and was later nurtured through participation in Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) events, eventually leading him to transition into the solar industry. With this background, Eric now brings a deep knowledge of buildings and proven expertise in PV system installation, maintenance, and diagnostics, a combination that makes him especially effective in troubleshooting and repairs.

Eric holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, a certificate in Renewable Energy from Madison College, is a registered electrician in that state of Wisconsin, and also holds a PV Associate credential from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). 

Outside of work, Eric enjoys backpacking and camping, international travel, woodworking, creating sculpture art, and spending quality time with his children. Eric also volunteers his time to strengthen sustainable networks in southern Wisconsin, contributing to organizations including Wisconsin Green Building Alliance (WGBA), Sustain Dane, MREA, RENEW Wisconsin, and Habitat for Humanity of Dane County.
