Daniel Wier: From Tech Exec to Solar Ethicist | Off-Grid Leadership & Local Impact
What do Fortune 500 call centers, paintball, and 20MW solar installs have in common?
Daniel Wier.
In this episode of Off the Grid on the Record, I sit down with Daniel Wier, founder and CEO of Commonwealth Solar, to unpack how a Kentucky-based installer is reshaping the clean energy conversation with ethics, transparency, and a whole lot of grit.
We dive into:
- Daniel’s journey from high-paid tech roles to off-grid solar
- Why most solar companies fail their customers (and what to do instead)
- His unique apprenticeship model and local-first hiring strategy
- Navigating rapid business growth without compromising values
- How policy, education, and community investment all intersect in clean energy
Daniel’s not just building a business—he’s setting a new standard for what clean energy leadership can look like.
