Sustainability
Accelerating our clean energy future
Since 2013, we’ve made it our express purpose and mission to fight climate change.
About UsOur impact matters
We help build hundreds of large-scale solar systems every year, and each system is expected to operate for 25+ years, producing clean energy for communities across the country.

The unfortunate science
The most sophisticated climate models are all in agreement; our planet will get significantly warmer over the coming years, producing widespread changes in the atmosphere, ocean, and biosphere.
Global temperatures rising
01
From 1901 to 2024, the temperature rose about 2°F worldwide. 2023 was the warmest year since global records began in 1950—by a lot.
Higher sea levels and warmer ocean temperatures
02
Due to climate change, the ocean is warmer, more acidic and less productive today. The sea level continues to rise at record rates due to ice loss in polar regions.
The single biggest health threat
03
The impacts are already harming health through air pollution, disease, extreme weather events, forced displacement, food insecurity, and pressures on mental health.
Energy Solutions
The good news is the energy transition is in full swing, and as our need for clean, renewable energy has risen, so too has renewable energy's ability to compete with traditional fossil fuels.
Reduced cost
Over the past decade, the cost of solar power has fallen by 87%, and the cost of battery storage has fallen by 85% [source: MCC]. These cost reductions have been driven primarily by lower hardware costs (e.g., modules, inverters, batteries) and economies of scale unlocked by global adoption.
Increasing speed
Renewable energy's rise to date has proven that when solutions get cheaper and faster to deploy, demand for them grows. For example, in 2004 it took one year to deploy 1 gigawatt of solar capacity in the U.S., but by 2023 1 gigawatt of solar was deployed in the U.S. every day (on average).
Explosive growth
Over the past decade, U.S. solar generation has increased more than twelvefold. In the first half of 2024, 15.6 gigawatts of solar capacity was installed in the U.S., marking a 55% increase when compared to the same period in 2023. The IEA forecasts that by 2028, renewable energy will account for more than 42% of global electricity generation.
Battery storage & EV charging
In 2023, global battery storage capacity additions reached nearly 42 gigawatts, doubling the previous year's figures and making battery storage the fastest-growing technology in the power sector. Similarly, the number of public EV charging points worldwide increased by more than 40% in 2023, with accelerated growth expected EV adoption reaches critical mass.
