We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey towards creating a sustainable and equitable future: Sugar Hollow Solar has achieved B Corporation (B Corp) certification! This prestigious recognition highlights our dedication to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

What is B Corp Certification?

B Corp Certification is more than just a badge of honor. It’s a testament to a company’s commitment to using business as a force for good. Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement to balance profit with purpose. They meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to uphold the values of sustainability and community well-being.

Our Journey to B Corp Certification

Since our founding in 2010, Sugar Hollow Solar has been deeply rooted in the ethos of community service and environmental stewardship. With a mission to empower homeowners, businesses, and communities with renewable energy solutions, we have grown to become the largest local solar panel and battery backup installation company in Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.

Achieving B Corp certification was a natural progression for us. This milestone underscores our unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on both our community and the environment. We have always believed that our business can be a powerful tool for driving change, and this certification formalizes our dedication to these values.

What Does This Mean for Our Community?

As a Certified B Corporation, we pledge to:

Champion Sustainability: Continue offering innovative solar energy solutions that help reduce our community’s carbon footprint and promote clean energy.
Prioritize People: Uphold the highest standards of fairness, equity, and transparency in our operations, ensuring that our employees, customers, and partners are treated with respect and integrity.
Foster Community Engagement: Deepen our involvement with local initiatives and organizations that align with our mission to create a sustainable and resilient future.

Celebrating 14 Years of Solar Excellence

In addition to our B Corp certification, we are also celebrating 14 wonderful years of serving our community with top-notch solar solutions. This milestone is a testament to the trust and support we’ve received from our customers and partners.

As part of our celebrations, we’re hosting a series of events and fundraising activities throughout August. Our highlight event is a birthday bash at Hickory Nut Gap on August 17, 2024, where we’ll enjoy live music, delicious food, family-friendly activities, and more. We invite you to join us in celebrating this special occasion and our shared commitment to a greener future.

Partnering with MountainTrue: Strengthening Our Community Impact

We are proud to continue our partnership with MountainTrue, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the natural beauty and ecological health of Western North Carolina. This collaboration is a key part of our mission to give back to the community that has supported us over the years.

Throughout August 2024, for every Discovery Call scheduled by homeowners or businesses interested in solar solutions, we will donate $14 to MountainTrue. This initiative is a way for us to engage with the community and support local environmental efforts while encouraging more people to explore the benefits of solar energy.
