Sugar Hollow Solar is expanding its community impact by partnering with Earthshine Nature Programs in 2025 to promote renewable energy and environmental education. Inspired by Hurricane Helene's devastation, they launched the Repower WNC Fund, supporting Earthshine's ENCAP initiative, which uses solar-powered vehicles and repurposed EV batteries to provide disaster relief, community support, and sustainability education. The fund also backs solar projects for nonprofits and collaborates with the Amicus Solar Cooperative for broader impact. Through donations and merchandise sales, Sugar Hollow empowers communities and fosters resilience across Western North Carolina.

Just one week ago, Hurricane Helene was tearing through Western North Carolina, and while the wreckage is still being assessed, many people remain in imminent danger.

The primary objective of the Sugar Hollow Solar Technical Review Board is to meticulously evaluate and ensure the quality and safety of solar equipment and installations. Composed of experts well-versed in all facets of solar technology, from design and engineering to installation, maintenance, and regulatory compliance, the board plays a pivotal role in upholding industry standards.

In North Carolina, the solar energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by changes proposed by Duke Energy Progress (DEP), one of the major electric utility companies in the state. These changes prompted us at Sugar Hollow Solar to take a proactive stance by crafting a position statement aimed at supporting our clients in navigating the evolving solar energy market. In this blog post, we will explore the motivations driving Sugar Hollow Solar's position statement, provide a brief update on the main concepts behind the proposed changes, and outline its ongoing significance for individuals and businesses contemplating a transition to solar energy in North Carolina.
