Secure Solar Futures

Excited to share this insightful article from the International Solar Energy Society ISES Solar Energy journal, authored by Andre Eanes and Anthony E. Smith, Ph.D., of Secure Solar Futures! ?? The article dives into the importance of properly sizing solar PV systems—not too small, not oversized—for maximizing financial savings for commercial solar customers. It also highlights how, with the right scale and supportive policies, solar PV can deliver economic benefits not only to solar customers but also to utilities and their ratepayers. ??

?? We are thrilled to show the progress of a new ground-mounted solar array at the Four Seasons YMCA in Tazewell, Virginia! ?? This installation is a big step forward in making #renewableenergy accessible in our communities. By powering the YMCA with clean, #solarenergy, we are supporting healthier lifestyles and a healthier planet. This project not only reduces the YMCA’s carbon footprint but also offers long-term cost savings, allowing more resources to be invested back into programs that benefit local families and individuals. Thank you to the YMCA team for your partnership in this effort to make a lasting impact in Tazewell. We’re proud to be a part of it. ???? #communityimpact #solarpower

?? Update on Gabe Waldron’s Solar Journey! ?? Gabe is making great strides at our Calhoun County Public Schools solar project, working closely with Got Electric, LLC.

Here Gabe is at Calhoun Middle/High School where his Manager consistently reports positively about his punctuality, hard work, ability to take direction, and his excitement to learn! A big thank you to The NEED Project, Intuit and Appalachian Voices for their support in making this workforce development program possible. Together, we’re building a brighter, greener future! ?? #SolarEnergy #WorkforceDevelopment #Sustainability #FutureOfSolar #ThankYou

?? Cloudy with a Chance of Solar Power! ??? Did you know that solar panels don’t need a sunny day to generate energy? Even when the sky is overcast, like in this picture of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety / Highway Loss Data Institute, those panels are hard at work, harnessing the sun’s power to fuel your home or business. ?? In fact, some panels are so efficient that they can capture diffused sunlight and convert it into electricity, proving that even on the gloomiest days, the future of energy is bright! ??? Let’s transform the landscape, one solar panel at a time. Curious about how solar power can work for you, rain or shine?
