Shellie Thies
Associate Product Line Manager, Sunnova Energy
Hailing from sunny Florida, Shellie is a passionate solar veteran with a decade of experience in the solar industry. Her journey began in Jacksonville, where she thrived as a marketing specialist for a solar installation company. Immersing herself in both sales and operations, Shellie gained invaluable insights into the intricate solar sales cycle and the challenges installers face. A pivotal moment came when she installed a solar + battery system in her own home, offering her a firsthand perspective on the homeowner experience. This deepened her understanding and fueled her enthusiasm. Shellie then took her expertise to a major manufacturer, where she played a crucial role in launching an innovative battery product in the U.S. market. She started in B2B sales and seamlessly transitioned into channel marketing, honing her skills in market strategy. Earlier this year, she joined Sunnova’s residential products team, where she’s now at the forefront of evaluating cutting-edge technologies and products, aligning them with Sunnova’s strategic vision. With her diverse background and commitment to sustainability, Shellie is proud of the impact she is making in the clean energy revolution.
