Spring into Solar

EVENTS • GIVEAWAYS • COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

MARCH 14TH - JUNE 21ST

""

As the flowers bloom (where are our pollinator garden people!) and the days grow longer, we’re launching Spring into Solar, a season-long celebration of sustainability, community, and energy resilience. This Spring, we’re bringing together solar power, wildlife education, and meaningful impact through exciting initiatives designed to support our neighbors and our planet.

We’ll be out in the community attending events, hosting giveaways, and spreading the word about how solar power benefits not just our wallets, but also the environment. Whether you’re interested in clean energy, supporting local nonprofits, or learning more about the incredible wildlife of Southern Appalachia, we’d love for you to be part of this movement!

Stay tuned for upcoming events, stories, and ways to get involved. Let’s work together to power a brighter, more resilient future—one panel, one donation, and one referral at a time!

Come say hi to us at any of our in-person events during our Spring into Solar Series to receive 7 entries into our Solar Battery Giveaway (see details below)!

Community Connections

Like many others in WNC, Sugar Hollow Solar faced significant losses in Hurricane Helene.

As we rebuild, we are committed to a more sustainable future for ourselves and our community. In response, we’re introducing the Repower WNC Fund, in partnership with the Nonprofit, Earthshine Nature Community Assistance Program, which focuses on directing funds to renewable energy projects that will support long-term recovery and resilience in Western North Carolina. Our goal is not only to restore what was lost but to build back greener and stronger, ensuring that our community is better prepared for future challenges. Through this initiative, we aim to provide clean energy solutions for individuals, businesses, and community spaces impacted by the hurricane, helping to create a brighter, more sustainable future for everyone.

Wildlife, Nature & Solar—A Perfect Springtime Pairing

This season, we’re celebrating the connection between sustainable energy and the natural world. With our friends at Earthshine, we’ll be busting reptile myths, sharing tips on enhancing backyard wildlife habitats and showcasing adorable baby animals. Because a healthier planet starts with protecting the creatures we share it with!

Let’s shine some sunlight on our current nonprofit partner:

Earthshine Nature Programs was founded in 2010 by naturalist Steve O'Neil aka Science Steve.

Their mission is to provide a nature and environmental conservation and science literacy-focused learning environment, and unique hands-on experiential education opportunities for everyone that we hope will serve to foster a lasting curiosity, respect, love, and hopefully greater conservation of wildlife, wild places, and the fragile environment that supports us all.
