Spring days are finally here to stay. While we’re soaking up that sweet vitamin D, Sugar Hollow Solar is harnessing the sunlight to sustainably power WNC.

From now until June 21, the local biz is celebrating Spring into Solar — a season-long commitment to education, community engagement, and making Asheville greener.

Here’s how you can get involved with the movement to protect and preserve our environment, in Asheville and beyond:

  • Give back with Repower WNC: Like many of us, Sugar Hollow Solar lost almost everything in Hurricane Helene. The experience inspired them to create the Repower WNC fund, and raise money to help others get + keep their lights on.
  • Learn: Join Sugar Hollow Solar throughout spring for educational events to discover how solar can benefit both our environment and your home or business.
  • Earn: Refer a friend to join in when you go solar, and score $250 for residential referrals and $500+ for commercial — and Sugar Hollow Solar will donate $50 to Science Steve & Earthshine Nature Program.
