Before that, Kyle served as Senior Vice President of Development for Coronal Energy, a subsidiary of Panasonic, during which time the company grew into an operating company with more than $700 million in assets and a 5GW development pipeline of solar and battery storage projects across 20 states.Kyle’s career in renewable energy began at HelioSage, formerly a Charlottesville-based utility-scale solar development company, where he served as Director of Project Development. While at HelioSage, the team reached national prominence and guided the development of a 300MW portfolio of solar projects for customers including Dominion Energy, Duke Energy, Georgia Power, Gulf Power, Pacific Power, Idaho Power, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and others before selling HelioSage to Coronal Group.Kyle holds a BA from the University of Virginia.
