Background

About Ariana Riselvato

I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2020 with a focus in Sustainable Technology and minor in Sustainable Development. I studied different forms of technologies including photovoltaic's, solar thermal applications, wind and hydro power, and sustainable transportation. I am effectively able to complete site assessments, system designs, and policy proposals. I had a concentration in solar power taking photovoltaic's I and II, and solar thermal. I applied what I learned to my senior capstone project where I created a grid-tied photovoltaic system for a summer camp. I also started a recycling program at the same summer camp which has been effective for almost a decade now. Because of my involvement with the summer camp, they have hired me to be a consultant where I am currently in Phase II of bringing this project to life. Helping the environment has always been a passion to me and when I found my major in college I knew that a career in renewable energy sources was the perfect fit for me. I believe solar energy is at the forefront of creating a cleaner environment and I cannot wait to start my career in the solar industry.
