Field-Tested in Vail: How Sol-Ark Delivered Power Where It Matters

Vail, Colorado. June 2025. The GoPro Mountain Games aren’t your average event. They're a four-day collision of athletic grit, art, music, and raw environmental beauty. Powered by adrenaline, driven by purpose—and this year, partially powered by Sol-Ark.

When tens of thousands gather in a mountain town for one of the most dynamic outdoor festivals in North America, energy matters. So does how it’s produced.

Not Just a Sponsorship. A Statement.

Sol-Ark didn’t show up with banners. We showed up with a mission—and a 15K-2P hybrid inverter.

Instead of leaning on gas generators, parts of the GoPro Mountain Games ran on clean, reliable solar power. That wasn’t just a technical achievement. It was a proof of concept: that renewable energy, when built for resilience and performance, belongs in the most demanding, high-visibility environments.

This was one of the most rugged field tests you could ask for—and we passed.

Engineering for the Unexpected

Sol-Ark’s 15K-2P was never designed for showrooms. It was designed to perform when conditions are unpredictable, power demands are high, and failure isn’t an option.

Why it worked:

• Seamless hybrid capability: Grid, solar, battery, or generator—our inverter transitions between them without a blink.

• Ruggedized for real-world use: Temperature extremes, high altitude, and fluctuating loads? That’s our element.

• American-engineered performance: Built to lead, not follow. And it’s showing.

Sol-Ark Cares, But Not in the Way You Think

“Sol-Ark Cares” isn’t a feel-good PR program. It’s a commitment to practical, applied action. When we talk about giving back, we mean putting our equipment, time, and team where it counts.

In Vail, that meant showing event organizers that clean power can be reliable power. That meant giving athletes, vendors, and attendees the experience they deserve—without the hum of a diesel generator in the background.

“When you remove the barriers to clean energy—cost, complexity, unreliability—you make sustainability a default, not a luxury.” — Simon McLean, Vice President of Marketing

What This Means for Energy

The real impact goes beyond the event. It’s about what comes next. If we can power the GoPro Mountain Games cleanly, why not construction sites? Music festivals? Emergency shelters? Schools?

We already are. This was just a public example.

Sol-Ark builds the future of power. Not by promising. By proving.
