About Us
Our Mission
Every Commercial Building on 100% Renewable Energy
To tackle climate change, we need to move quickly toward renewable energy.
Today, solar is a reliable and cost-effective option for many organizations. Commercial solar costs have fallen by 66% since 2010 and continue to decline. Government incentives like the 30%-50% federal investment tax credit and various state programs make solar even more financially attractive. Progressive organizations are also leading the way with commitments and ESG program goals to become carbon neutral.
The potential for solar is enormous. Over 1 million commercial buildings in the U.S. could switch to solar, save money, and generate renewable energy. In spite of this, only 3% have switched to solar because the process is too difficult and time-consuming.
