Native Sun Energy was built to partner, not to compete with partners. Tribal capital partners as equity co-owners in joint ventures where they participate. Technology and construction partners as peers. Community advisors as stakeholders. Every relationship documented, every structure disclosed.
Tribal partners are structured as equity capital participants — not as lessors, royalty recipients, or token counterparties. Community advisors hold equity-for-services positions on projects where deep local engagement is structurally necessary.
Little River Holdings serves as the principal tribal capital partner on the Ajijaak Energy Development Project in Manistee County, Michigan. Little River Holdings holds documented equity with cash-flow participation and governance rights in the joint venture — the prototype for NSEC's future tribal partnerships.
Native American Utility Company is an affiliated entity, independently governed, in which Preston Porter serves as Chair. It exists to advise tribal nations on utility infrastructure and power purchase agreements across tribal and state boundaries — maintained as separate governance to preserve its neutrality as an advisor to tribal counterparties who may also be NSEC commercial counterparties.
Module assembly equipment, TOPCon cell process engineering, domestic cell supply, and construction capacity — sourced from partners selected for their technical depth, operational reliability, and alignment with NSEC's domestic-content commitments.
Tainergy is NSEC's technology transfer partner on the Nexus Plant TOPCon cell manufacturing operation. Tainergy's process produces cells at 25.3%+ efficiency — the foundation of the Crius Series 6 module's market-leading incentive stack.
EcoProgetti SRL of Italy provides the semi-automated module assembly line equipment at both the Atlas Plant (Oklahoma City) and the Ajijaak facility (Manistee). The same supplier also provides the Ajijaak recycling-line equipment — coordinated procurement across both plants for process and parts consistency.
ES Foundry supplies domestically-produced PERC cells for the Crius Series 5 module during Phase 1 of Atlas production, pre-Nexus-commissioning. Domestic cell sourcing qualifies Phase 1 modules for the Section 45 domestic content bonus from day one of production.
Notakoo Construction Group is NSEC's construction partner for the Oklahoma City industrial build-out of the HelioForge complex — site development, facility renovation, and delivery of the production-ready industrial envelope into which the EcoProgetti equipment is installed.
