We're happy to share that we recently wrapped up a project for the Marion County WV Humane Society in Fairmont, WV. Thanks to their new 158 panel solar system, their organization won't ever have to worry about rate hikes and can continue focusing on their mission. #minethesun

"Solar Holler CEO Dan Conant told POLITICO he’d spoken often with Manchin, explaining his firm would benefit from the direct pay clean energy incentives because, as a nonprofit, it lacks the tax liability to obtain financing through tax equity mkts" Let's go, Dan & @solarholler!
