Sugar Hollow Solar is expanding its community impact by partnering with Earthshine Nature Programs in 2025 to promote renewable energy and environmental education. Inspired by Hurricane Helene's devastation, they launched the Repower WNC Fund, supporting Earthshine's ENCAP initiative, which uses solar-powered vehicles and repurposed EV batteries to provide disaster relief, community support, and sustainability education. The fund also backs solar projects for nonprofits and collaborates with the Amicus Solar Cooperative for broader impact. Through donations and merchandise sales, Sugar Hollow empowers communities and fosters resilience across Western North Carolina.
