Where it Started, Where it's Headed
In the lead up to Earth Day, Solar Education Week is designed to spark a national conversation about solar energy and a just transition to a clean, resilient economy. This year's theme, "Where it Started, Where it's Headed," highlights the long-term impact of solar energy at community-serving organizations.
Join us in amplifying the stories of nonprofits nationwide — from churches to animal shelters — that are reinvesting energy bill savings into their neighborhoods. We explore their initial transition to solar and, more importantly, the measurable benefits they see today.
