☀️ Big news out of Orinda, California!

We are incredibly proud to announce the completion of a new solar installation for Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church. To ensure the church gets maximum energy production and long-term reliability, our team deployed high-efficiency Boviet modules paired with multiple SolarEdge inverters.

This powerful setup provides advanced optimization and panel-level monitoring, paving the way for a more sustainable future for their facility. Thank you to the wonderful team at Holy Shepherd for trusting us with your clean energy transition, and welcome to the solar family! ✨

☀️ Massive milestone for clean energy!

For the first time in U.S. history, solar power officially outpaced coal’s share of electricity generation in a single month (12.8% vs. 12.2%).

Despite a shifting political landscape and rollbacks on clean energy funding, market forces are keeping the momentum going. Solar and battery storage made up a staggering 91% of all new power capacity built early this year, with red states like Texas, Florida, and Ohio leading the charge in new installations.

The economics are clear: solar is affordable, scalable, and driving the future of the grid. 🌍✨

The numbers don’t lie: The rapid expansion of clean energy is actively making the power grid more resilient. ☀️🔋

Despite forecasts for a scorching summer, the latest grid reliability assessment shows the U.S. power grid is in significantly better shape than last year. The credit goes to a massive boom in new infrastructure: 30.5 GW of solar and 16 GW of battery storage added over the past year alone, proving that clean energy is doing the heavy lifting to keep the lights (and air conditioning) on.

Upgraded & Future-Proofed in Oakland! ☀️

Nothing says trust quite like a 20-year relationship! We recently helped a long-time Sun Light & Power customer in Oakland upgrade their home for the next generation of clean energy.

Sustainability was key for this project. We carefully removed their legacy solar system but reused the existing racking, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. We then installed some new JA Solar Modules, a SolarEdge Inverter, and a FranklinWH aPower battery for whole-home backup. 🔋

Thank you for trusting us with your home for over two decades!

☀️ Sunny days ahead for San Rafael! ☀️

We wrapped up a gorgeous new residential solar and storage installation in San Rafael, CA, and this home is officially ready for anything California's grid throws at it. 🏡✨

☀️ Big win for the clean energy workforce!🔋

As solar and battery storage systems continue to boom across North America, the need for highly skilled, professional technicians has never been more urgent. So Amicus O&M Cooperative has officially launched its brand-new, online Solar PV and BESS O&M Tech 2 Training Program! 🎉

This 30-hour, self-paced curriculum bridges the gap between hands-on troubleshooting and advanced theoretical knowledge. It’s designed to empower early-stage technicians to become fully proficient, independent experts in advanced diagnostics, cybersecurity, battery systems, and safety.

Even better? It aligns perfectly with the SEIA 301 ANSI standard and counts toward both NABCEP certifications and continuing education credits. 🌍
