We are solar installers and educators based in Olde Kensington, Philadelphia. Our company was founded in 2008 with a dual-mission to educate AND install. For education, we partner with organizations like PowerCorps PHL and Philadelphia OIC to provide free training opportunities to any Philadelphian who wants to join the Green Collar Economy. For installations, we install solar systems and batteries on homes, businesses, and non-profits across the region.
