Energy Technology Executive

Rohit Patil

I take emerging energy technologies from concept to commercial scale — building the technoeconomic proof that turns promising ideas into bankable, repeatable deployments.


12 years across SunEdison, Tesla, and New Leaf Energy — spanning utility-scale solar, BESS, EV charging, microgrids, and data center energy infrastructure. I sit at the intersection of engineering rigor and commercial strategy: I can build the model, close the deal, and scale the blueprint.

Known for architecting first-of-kind solutions that become industry standards — from the Frito-Lay/PepsiCo Class-8 fleet electrification microgrid to the Google Regulus solar design blocks that scaled across a GW-scale pipeline.
