Institutions Solar Case Studies
When government agencies and municipalities meet their electricity needs with solar, they insulate themselves from rising utility prices and build a more controllable, resilient energy supply. Money not spent on facilities can go directly to the communities they serve. With more control over their power, local and state agencies can worry less about costs, security, and resiliency and focus more on their residents.
Increasingly, cities and state organizations are taking the lead on climate action, with many committing to 100% renewable energy and joining the Compact of Mayors. Solar Energy Solutions has particular expertise working with cities and municipal buildings across the Midwest, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic, installing solar systems and pairing them with Solarize campaigns that offer discounted bulk-buy pricing for residents.
