Weve been motivated by corporate partners like Intuit and Vista Equity Partners, as well as brands like Dropps and Hello Bello, whove purchased reclaiming their carbon footprint by helping us develop our very first solar job. Weve likewise had the fantastic fortune of finding like-minded organizations like ACORE who recognize the worth of bringing varied viewpoints to cleaning up the grid and have really constructed a program like Accelerate to ensure we have a seat at the table
