Our impact

We’re building a broad base of solar supporters in order to build the democratic, equitable energy system we all deserve. You can join us!

We’re helping thousands of homeowners solicit proposals, find a solar company, and save money on their electric bills through solar group buying programs and our Solar Help Desk.

We work in places where people and the media often say that solar isn’t possible. By generating hundreds of positive news stories and helping thousands of homeowners go solar, we’re changing the conversation about solar and renewables in conservative, liberal, urban, and rural communities alike. Now these communities are talking about how quickly people are adopting solar and all the benefits going solar provides. Check out our press clips.

We’re working with individuals and groups across the country to build a clean, equitable energy system that directs control and benefits back to local communities.

Our policy victories demonstrate the power of local people standing up for their energy rights. Learn more about our big policy wins and check out our current campaigns to see how you can get involved.

Our community of solar supporters’ installations boost their local economies and create good jobs. Distributed (or rooftop) solar is a particularly good local job creator – you can’t outsource a solar installation! Plus, the solar industry supports construction workers, electricians, roofers, steel manufacturers, panel manufacturers, distributors, and more.

The solar industry is growing 18 times faster than the rest of the economy and driving job growth nationwide. Learn more about how solar is creating jobs.
