Women’s History Month serves as an opportunity to celebrate the significant and trailblazing achievements of women across various fields, and the solar industry is no exception. Throughout history, women have played a crucial role in advancing affordable, renewable energy, particularly solar power, by driving innovation, expanding career opportunities, and advancing environmental sustainability.

When you registered for SharePower, did you know those couple of minutes spent filling out your information would lead to more accessible clean energy for your community?
Many of our neighbors, especially in rural communities, pay 20%, 30%, or even 40% of their entire household income to keep the lights on. Imagine what cutting electricity bills in half would mean for their families and our communities.
As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to you for making a difference for your community and the environment through your SharePower subscription. Your decision to subscribe to community solar is not just a choice for clean energy; it's a powerful step towards making a positive impact in our community.
