Off the Grid, On the Record

From Teacher to Policy Disruptor: How Michelle Knox Built Wind Solar USA From Scratch


Listen Later

Michelle Knox, founder of Wind Solar USA, shares how a single question over drinks sparked a 16-year journey into clean energy—and led her to take on utility monopolies, author a statewide Solar Bill of Rights, and build a customer-first solar company in rural Illinois.

In this episode:

  • Building a solar business with NO ads and 100% education-driven growth
  • Creating 27-page solar proposals that sell themselves
  • How she helped write and advocate for game-changing state legislation
  • Fighting—and winning—against massive energy providers in court
  • Lessons on courage, conviction, and finding purpose through service

This is what happens when values meet execution.
