Troy HelmingFounder

United States - San Francisco, California

I founded 2 of the most successful renewable energy companies in the USA: Tradewind Energy (largest wind developer in USA in 2017) & Pristine Sun (leading developer of community utility-scale solar farms in CA, WI, VT, MN, NC). I sit on the board of numerous solar and clean energy companies, and have been an advisor, investor, executive, or director of over a dozen successful companies.

I'm an American Ninja Warrior, competed on Season 10 (in LA-Universal Studios on NBC) and placed 8th in the world in the Over 40 category at the UNAA World Championships (Ultimate Ninja Athletic Association). Follow me @SolarNinjaTroy on Twitter, Instagram, FB & YouTube.

I'm the author of The Clean Power Revolution (2004) and creator of The Freedom Plan (2005): a blueprint to convert North American to 100% clean renewable energy. One of my driving goals is to save the US economy over $1 Trillion per year by eliminating our dependence on dirty fossil fuels.
