What we deliver — and how we do it.

Driving Clean Energy & Efficiency, Equity, and Innovation at Scale

Solomon Group designs and operates programs that connect data, policy, and people in the energy transition. Our clients- utilities, municipalities, government agencies, and healthcare systems, use our work to meet climate targets, equity mandates, and community engagement goals with measurable results.

Core Service: Building Decarbonization

Removing barriers. Accelerating upgrades across every zip code.

Solomon e3 uses AI-powered geospatial intelligence to identify where energy waste is highest, where incentives are hardest to access, and where contractor capacity exists to meet demand. The result is a connected pipeline, from building identification to completed upgrade, that utilities and municipalities can track in real time.

This is the work that earned prime contracts with Mass Save, the U.S. DOE, and municipal clients in Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Georgia.

  • H3 geospatial indexing identifies high-priority buildings at parcel level

  • AI matches residents to every rebate and incentive program they qualify for

  • Verified contractor marketplace routes work to MBE and LMI-area businesses

  • Utility-grade measurement and verification built in from day one

  • Multilingual outreach for Environmental Justice communities

Full Service Portfolio

Four disciplines. One integrated model.

Each service area operates independently or as part of a full program deployment. The combination is what produces outsized participation rates in markets where traditional outreach falls short.

Workforce Development

Solomon Group trains and places individuals from the communities served by clean energy programs into the jobs those programs create. This closes the participation gap from both ends — connecting residents to upgrades and connecting local talent to the contractors delivering them.

  • 1,500+ professionals placed across program history

  • Local hire targets embedded in contractor agreements

  • STEAM pipeline through The Ignatius Foundation

Community Engagement

Field operations backed by behavioral science and real-time data. Solomon Group's outreach model combines CBO partnerships, multilingual communications, and proprietary canvassing tools to reach residents that mailers, robocalls, and web portals miss — in the languages they speak and the channels they trust.

  • Barrier analysis distinguishes awareness gaps from infrastructure gaps

  • CBO and faith-based partner network across served geographies

  • Yale-validated large-scale field deployment methodology

Geospatial Data & Analytics

The same analytics engine that powers Solomon e3 is available as a standalone data service. Clients receive building-level energy burden scores, rebate eligibility mapping, demographic overlays, and participation propensity models across any service territory — structured for integration with existing utility and municipal platforms.

  • H3-indexed parcel-level datasets

  • Custom demographic and language-access overlays

  • API delivery for utility and health-impact system integration

Program Design & Strategy

Solomon Group has designed award-winning energy efficiency and decarbonization programs from intake to impact measurement. Clients receive a full program architecture — eligibility frameworks, contractor qualification standards, equity metrics, reporting templates, and language access plans — built for regulatory compliance and community trust.

  • Mass Save Language Access Planning — prime contract

  • DOE Equitable Clean Energy Advancement Initiative

  • MA EEA Decarbonization Clearinghouse architecture

Our Approach

How we turn program goals into field results.

Two decades of program delivery produced a repeatable four-stage model. It applies across geographies, program types, and client sizes.

01 Diagnose the gap

Geospatial analysis of building stock, energy burden, incentive availability, and contractor capacity identifies exactly where programs are underperforming and why.

02 Design for the community

Program rules, language access plans, contractor qualification standards, and outreach channels are built around the demographic and behavioral profile of the target geography — not a national template.

03 Deploy at scale

Field operations, digital outreach, and the Solomon e3 platform run simultaneously. Participation data feeds back into the system in real time, allowing mid-program adjustments before budgets are exhausted.

04 Measure and report

Utility-grade M&V, equity dashboards, and impact reports give clients the documentation they need for regulatory compliance, grant reporting, and board-level accountability.

Additional Capabilities

Foundational expertise available to clients.

Solomon Group's background spans political research, international development, and military communications. These capabilities feed directly into how we design outreach, model behavior change, and operate in contested information environments.

Strategic Communications

Audience-segmented messaging built from quantitative and qualitative research — for utilities, municipalities, and community organizations.

Multilingual Outreach

Content developed and deployed in the languages of the communities served, verified by native speakers, not translation software.

Behavioral Science

Participation models grounded in peer-reviewed methodology. Yale-validated field research informs every canvassing and digital engagement design.

Market Research

Quantitative and qualitative research spanning two decades of domestic and international clients — commercial, government, and non-partisan.

Predictive Analytics

Modeling heritage includes analytics built for institutional investors via Sidar Global Advisors, acquired by RavenPack.

Digital Media & Technology

Content strategy, social media deployment, and platform development with a track record spanning DoD and USAID engagements.

 

Our Mission

Advancing Clean Energy Innovation

At Solomon, we exist to create greener, healthier, and more equitable communities—by reimagining how clean energy is delivered, understood, and accessed. Our mission is to transform entire ecosystems—from cities to rural towns—through breakthrough technology, inclusive workforce models, and trusted local partnerships. We don't just follow the energy transition—we lead it with purpose.


Workforce Development

Growing Talent from the Communities We Serve

Workforce development is at the heart of our clean energy & energy efficiency management strategy. Solomon Group trains and places individuals from all communities into high-growth clean energy careers—empowering local talent, closing opportunity gaps, and building a more resilient energy workforce.


Empowering Communities

Grassroots Engagement that Drives Real Change

We combine behavioral science, field operations, and real-time data to power community-driven campaigns that actually reach people where they are. Our proprietary outreach tools and CBO partnerships turn awareness into action- lowering bills, increasing comfort, and raising property values for everyday residents.


Building Decarbonization

Removing Barriers. Accelerating Upgrades.

We make building decarbonization fast, simple, and accessible. Using cutting-edge tools and localized data, we identify where energy waste is highest and where incentives are hardest to access—then deliver tailored solutions that help homeowners, renters, and small businesses make cost-effective upgrades with confidence.


Sustainable Living

Tools That Help Households Thrive

Solomon Group equips residents/ratepayers with the knowledge and digital tools to lead cleaner, healthier lives. Whether it’s accessing rebates, choosing energy-efficient appliances, or installing smart thermostats, we remove friction and build habits that last.


Localized Impact

Built Around Your Community—Not the Other Way Around

No two communities are the same. That’s why we dig deep—analyzing demographics, participation rates, language needs, and local sentiment, to design energy and equity strategies that reflect the lived experiences of the people we serve. In Massachusetts, North Carolina and beyond, our hyperlocal approach delivers outsized impact.
