Each solar panel turns sunshine into clean energy, and every home and commercial property that makes the switch to solar is part of creating significant change. In addition to installing 1,114 projects that came out to 16,843 kW worth of solar power in 2021, we also designed 17,137 systems and serviced 830 projects.
Our 2021 solar installations are the equivalent of 114 acres of U.S. forests preserved; 276,318 trees planted; or 2,012 homes powered for one year.
