Sol Systems

We were honored to join Climate Access Fund at the Henderson-Hopkins School in Baltimore to celebrate the launch of the Solar4Us @ Henderson-Hopkins community solar project!   This initiative will bring affordable solar power to approximately 150 local households, helping families save nearly $1 million over the panels' lifetime--that's about $200 a month per household. The project also helps Maryland meet its climate goals, cutting nearly 27,000 metric tons of carbon emissions over 35 years.

As 2024 comes to a close, we are filled with gratitude for a remarkable year of community impact. This year, we deployed over $1M to partners through our Community Investment Funds and Sol Profit Share program. These funds have empowered individuals and communities across the country, supporting initiatives that drive sustainable economic growth, expand educational opportunities, and foster workforce development. To our incredible corporate partners—Microsoft, Google, Rivian, UPS, and Patagonia--your dedication to making a difference inspires us every day. Your outstanding support and collaboration make this work possible. And to our community partners: thank you for sharing our vision and helping us create tangible impacts in the communities where we work. Together, we’re engaging communities and building America’s energy future.
