About Nicole Tomasin

I work at the intersection of energy storage, strategic partnerships, and market expansion with one clear goal: making reliable, affordable energy accessible to more people.With more than two decades in the solar and energy storage industry, my career spans residential, commercial, and distribution markets. I have led product strategy, vendor relations, and go-to-market initiatives for companies operating at scale, helping bring advanced solar and battery technologies from concept to widespread adoption. Today, as Sr. Director of Strategic Partnerships at EAI, I focus on building high-impact relationships that accelerate deployment, strengthen supply chains, and support long-term industry growth.Energy independence has been a defining thread throughout my career. Long before storage became mainstream, I championed batteries as a critical pillar of grid resilience and consumer empowerment. My hands-on work installing solar in Haiti through Brighten Haiti further cemented that belief. Access to energy is not just a market opportunity. It is a catalyst for stability, education, and economic growth.I partner closely with executives, manufacturers, distributors, and installers to align strategy with execution. My experience includes product and vendor strategy, energy storage deployment, solar financing considerations, FEOC and domestic content awareness, and navigating the full lifecycle of solar projects from early market planning through operational scale.I am optimistic about where this industry is headed. The transition underway is not a signal of strain, but of momentum. We are just getting started.If you are building the next phase of solar and storage, scaling partnerships, or advancing energy independence, I am always open to the conversation.
