Solar Ascent is powered by people just as much as sunshine. And when it comes to keeping things running smoothly, Tristan Glen is the engine behind the scenes.
As our Operations Manager, Tristan combines precision, passion, and an unshakable love for the outdoors to lead with purpose. Whether he’s organizing installations or skiing through the backcountry, he brings the same high energy and focus.
What Drew Tristan to Solar Ascent?
For Tristan, it all started with the team.
“The work culture here is unmatched. Everyone is positive, supportive, respectful, and genuinely caring.”
That vibe shines through in every part of the business—from how installations are done, to how approvals are handled, to how transparently sales are communicated.
“There’s real passion behind what we do.”
Why He’s All In on Solar
Tristan loves how accessible solar has become.
“The scalability of solar is incredible. It empowers people to take control of their energy.”
That ability to shift power from massive utilities to everyday people is what fuels his fire.
And when the system flips on?
“Watching the electric meter run backwards—that moment never gets old. You can see the impact. It’s feeding energy back to the grid, and it’s building a better future.”
Outside the Office
When Tristan’s not managing logistics, you’ll find him outdoors—usually far from the beaten path.
“I love exploring wild places. Cycling, long-distance canoe trips, cross-country skiing—if it involves movement and nature, I’m in.”
That connection to the land keeps him inspired and grounded.
Looking Ahead
Tristan is excited about what’s coming for solar.
“Adoption is accelerating fast, from microgrids to large-scale projects. Even here in Nova Scotia, we’re seeing major momentum.”
And the best part?
“We’re just getting started. The potential is massive.”
