Community Highlights: Meet Olivia Amyette of Infinite Energy Advisors

Today we’d like to introduce you to Olivia Amyette.

Hi Olivia, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve always had a desire to build something meaningful, something that actually changes people’s lives. That really started to take shape during my time at Georgia Tech, where I was studying computer science. I was part of the Grand Challenges program, which pushed me to think beyond theory and focus on real world impact. It planted the idea that whatever I built needed to matter, and that my work had to be centered around high-impact solutions to benefit my community.

But the real turning point in my life wasn’t academic, it was personal.

My grandfather, who immigrated from Ecuador and was a veteran of the US Army during the Vietnam War, was my best friend. I had spent my college career juggling my studies with extracurricular activities, while also acting as a caretaker for him. When I graduated, I had a more traditional path in front of me in the tech world, but I knew that if I took that path, I would be moving out west and leaving my grandpa behind. So, I made the decision to step away from that. I chose entrepreneurship so I could have the scheduling freedom to stay home and continue to be there for him as his caretaker. That decision changed everything for me.

Being with him during that time gave me a completely different perspective on life, on responsibility, and on what it means to build something that matters. He was one of the hardest working people I’ve ever known, yet he didn’t always have access to the opportunities he deserved. He often told me stories about how, when he first came to the States, he couldn’t afford electricity. He taught himself English with nothing more than a dictionary and candlelight.

My whole life, I had the priviledge of watching his resilience, his humility, and his gratitude. He shaped me in a way nothing else, and no one else could.

My grandpa’s story has always made me think deeply about how many people are doing everything right and still struggling under burdens they shouldn’t have to carry.

That’s what ultimately led me into solar.

I began to see energy not just as a utility, but as one of those hidden pressures that can quietly hold people back, especially in underserved communities. At the same time, I was navigating my own challenges starting a business from the ground up, self funding, and learning hard lessons early on. All of that reinforced my commitment to build something different.

I founded Infinite Energy Advisors with a very clear mission. I wanted to create a company that genuinely serves people, removes barriers, and expands access to reliable, affordable energy via solar in a way that’s honest and sustainable. Today, we focus on making solar attainable through innovative financing, workforce development, and strong community partnerships.

One of the projects I’m most proud of is our work with Habitat for Humanity, where we’re helping solarize an entire community while also training local youth through my school, Solar Knowledge Institute (SKI), to step into careers in solar. That’s the kind of impact we care deeply about, not just lowering energy bills, but also creating real opportunity for those who are seeking a clean energy career.

Soon after growing Infinite Energy Advisors to become a multimillion dollar company, I founded the Solar Knowledge Institute (SKI) because I saw a need for deeper training within the industry. At SKI, we operate Georgia’s first of it’s kind Department of Labor certified solar apprenticeship program, creating pathways for people to build stable, meaningful careers.

At the core of everything I’ve built is my grandfather’s influence. Choosing to stay home and care for him wasn’t the conventional path, but it gave me clarity that I wouldn’t trade for anything. His story is the reason I care so deeply about access, about opportunity, and about building something that truly helps people. Now, I have the privilege of carrying his legacy forward through my work, keeping his memory close in everything I build while creating meaningful, lasting impact through both of my companies.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
One of the biggest challenges I faced early on was growing a business without access to traditional capital. I started everything self funded, and as a young female entrepreneur at the age of 20, that meant every decision carried weight. There wasn’t a financial cushion or a safety net, so I had to be extremely intentional about how I grew, what I invested in, and how I built trust in the market.

Being a young woman in the energy space came with its own set of challenges. It’s an industry where credibility is often assumed rather than earned, and I knew early on that if I wanted to be taken seriously, I couldn’t just participate, I had to lead with expertise.

So I made a very conscious decision to become the most knowledgeable and technically capable person in the room.

For example, my skills shone through in my troubleshooting work, which really became my claim to fame. I leaned into the hardest problems, the systems other companies couldn’t figure out, and built a reputation around solving what others couldn’t. From there, I expanded into system design, making sure we were never a one size fits all company. Every system we design is fully customized based on the customer’s needs, not a template or a sales model.

As we grew, I realized that one of the biggest gaps in the industry wasn’t just technical, it was workforce. That’s what led me to build SKI and develop a first of its kind Department of Labor certified apprenticeship program specific to solar, among our other solar training courses. Through that, we’re not only training the next generation of solar professionals, we’re also creating a pipeline that allows us to execute at a higher level across every type of project.

Today, that’s really what sets us apart. We’re one of the only companies that can truly operate across the full scope of the industry, from residential to commercial, nonprofit to government, while also addressing workforce development at the same time.

Looking back, those early challenges shaped everything. Being self funded forced discipline. Being underestimated pushed me to master my craft. And navigating both is what allowed me to build two companies that are not only resilient, but are deeply capable and unique in the market.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Infinite Energy Advisors?
I built both of my companies around a simple idea that access to reliable, affordable energy should not be complicated, exclusive, or out of reach. What started as a small, self funded operation has grown into a fully integrated solar and energy solutions company that serves residential homeowners, businesses, nonprofits, government buildings, and later a separate workforce development program across Georgia.

At Infinite Energy Advisors, we specialize in designing and delivering fully customized solar systems. We are not a one size fits all company. Every project is engineered based on the specific needs of the property, the energy goals of the client, and the long term financial impact. That technical precision is one of the things we are best known for, especially through our troubleshooting work, which became an early defining strength of the company. We built our reputation for excellence by fixing underperforming systems installed by other companies. We not only identified solutions that others missed, but we also briskly implemented our resolutions, which allowed the end users to unlock the full benefits of their solar system. That level of problem solving is still a major part of our identity today. In fact, because our troubleshooting clients had such a great experience with us, many of our new solar installation projects and troubleshooting projects come from a referral from our previous clients.

As the company grew, we expanded into a much broader mission. Through Solar Knowledge Institute (SKI), my workforce development training school, I built one of Georgia’s first Department of Labor certified solar apprenticeship programs. But SKI was never designed just to support our company. It was created to strengthen the solar workforce as a whole. We train individuals to enter the industry with real, transferable skills that allow them to work across companies, projects, and sectors. The goal is to elevate the entire ecosystem, not just our internal pipeline.

That combination of technical execution and workforce development is what truly sets us apart. We are not only delivering solar solutions. Instead, we are also helping build the skilled labor force that makes the industry possible. It allows us to maintain higher standards in the field while also contributing to long term industry growth in a meaningful way.

What I am most proud of is that we have been able to scale without losing integrity or depth. We operate across residential, commercial, nonprofit, and institutional projects, and in every case the focus remains the same: deliver high quality, customized energy solutions while advancing access to opportunity in the industry.

At the heart of the brand is a commitment to building systems that last, both technically and socially. We are not just installing solar. We are creating infrastructure for energy independence and investing in the people who will carry this industry forward.

What was your favorite childhood memory?
Some of my favorite childhood memories are tied to time spent with my grandparents, and I only fully understand now how much those moments shaped me.

My grandfather was incredibly resourceful. He would take whatever we could find around the neighborhood and turn it into frames that we would later make into kites for my sister and I to play with. There was something magical about that process, not because it was fancy, but because it wasn’t. It was creativity, patience, and problem-solving all in one. He taught me that you do not need perfect conditions to create something meaningful. He used what the Earth naturally supplied to make my favorite toy kites.

My maternal grandmother, who is Vietnamese, had a very different but equally powerful influence. She spent time in the garden with us and taught us how to care for the land while growing her own fruits and vegetables. It was never rushed. It was about attention, respect, and understanding that what you put into the earth eventually comes back to you. Those lessons were simple, but they stayed with me in a deep way.

My paternal grandmother would share stories about raising 5 children as a single parent and making ends meet with very little. She talked about cloth diapering her kids, not just out of necessity, but as a way of being resourceful and intentional, long before sustainability was widely discussed. To her, it was just life, but looking back, it carried a mindset of resilience and responsibility that left a lasting impression on me.

When I reflect on all of these experiences, it feels like those experiences quietly shaped the path I am on today. The prevalent themes throughout my life thus far have encompassed resourcefulness, respect for the environment, resilience, and building things with intention. I do not think I saw it at the time, but in hindsight, it makes sense that I found my way into a field centered on energy, sustainability, and building systems that serve people and the world around them.
