About Colin
Colin Pischke is a graduate of the University of Lethbridge’s Bachelor of Management program (2013) and has spent the past decade combining entrepreneurial drive with a passion for clean technology. After working as a Wind Energy Community Liaison for Lethbridge College, he launched and grew a successful 3D printing business, which he exited in 2020 to pursue his long-standing interest in renewable energy. He joined SkyFire Energy in 2022, where he has designed and supported the construction of over 250 residential solar and EV charging projects across Southern Alberta. He is now a proud employee owner and was fortunate to have solar installed on his own home in 2025.
Colin brings technical expertise, a customer-first mindset, and a belief that clean energy solutions are vital to a better future. He also serves on the board of the Electric Vehicle Association of Alberta (EVAA), supporting EV adoption and charging infrastructure across the province. Whether it’s solar panels or electric vehicles, Colin is passionate about helping people take part in the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable world.
