What Do You Love?

We love solar. That’s why we do what we do. It’s why we strive to make it possible for everyone to power their lives with sunshine. We believe it will create a brighter, cleaner, more independent future, and we thrive on making that future happen today.

 

We love ‘solar’, but what does that mean? Do we love silicon chips? Copper wires? Aluminium racking? Inverters? Of course —  there are definitely some of us at Sungevity who do! But all of us love what solar does, what it represents, and what it enables, not just what it is.

 

 

Solar allows us to be independent and free. It allows us to take control of our lives and demand better. It allows us to spend our hard-earned dough on things we love, like family beach vacations and kids’ ballet lessons, instead of just keeping the lights on. Solar is a way of life – because it lets us live life to the fullest. Getting solar panels on our roofs isn’t the end of the journey. It’s the beginning. The beginning of doing what we love, with the people we love, more.

 

Sungevity was built on that dream. Live life more. We won’t have to worry about air-con in summer and fret over heating in winter. We can focus on what matters: snuggling with hot cups of cocoa around a storybook, splashing in the pool with cool ice pops, and living our lives surrounded by radiant smiles and boundless sun.

 

We started a Pinterest page to share all the things we love about life. From delicious home-cooked meals to the most beautiful beaches on earth, you’ll find it all on our Pinterest at pinterest.com/sungevity. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

 

Sungevity is about so much more than solar. It’s about your life. Go live it – and shine on!

ROCK ON!

We did it! We finally did it. WE’RE OFFICIALLY ROCKSTARS.

 

 

Granted, if we had started out five years ago trying to become rockstars we probably would have built a different kind of organization than a solar company (a band, for example). But somehow we managed it anyway!

 

“Who why how what?!” you ask. B Lab, the people behind the B Corporation certificate, knighted us with the title. A B Corporation is “ a new type of corporation which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.” We’re rockstars of the new economy — one that uses capitalism to make the world a better place.

 

And just like our guitar-shredding counterparts we couldn’t have done it (and continue to do it) without you, our amazing fans. We appreciate everything you’ve done for us and for solar. Fame never felt sweeter.

 

ROCK ON!

Every Child Has A Light

Last year we decided that for every person who decided to go solar with Sungevity, we would donate a solar-powered light to a child in Africa. Go solar, give solar.

 

We knew it was doing good. But we didn’t know just how much good it would do.

 

 

Thank you so much for your support! Let’s share even more light in 2012.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Turn On Your engines!

You read it right – these cars won’t “start” like normal automobiles. For starters, they haven’t been built yet!

 

The race is organized by Brightworks K-12 school and will work like this: all teams get the same container full of parts. All teams will have exactly one day to build their car from those parts. All teams have two forms of power: human, and electric. Only one team will win.

 

Solar-panelled Yabba-Dabba-Do-Mobile, anyone?

Sunny Valentine

Shivers, light and crisp, fleeting and hot. Air, cool and fresh, zesty and alive, dancing playfully. A delicious burning, an upwelling of yes, a candid frolic of splendor all simmer and burst forth. Ears, eyes, smile because they simply can’t not. Excitement, expectation, warmth, unbridled potential and untended appreciation.  Life, it seems, is amazing.

 

We all know the feeling. It’s been sung about, painted about, and written about for centuries. People have paid for it, lived for it, and died for it. It’s hard to describe but you know it when you feel it. It’s being in sun.

 

That’s right, being outside in the sunshine. It feels like nothing else.  (Except, err, maybe love gets a little close…but it’s really not the same.)

 

Valentine’s Day means different things to different people. To us it means appreciation – of each other, our world and the sun that powers it. We wish you a very sunny Valentine’s, and heartily suggest you step outside for just a moment, no matter where you are, and bask in the light. Happy Valentine’s Day!

 

(P.S. We just sung a love song asking our customers to be our valentines. For best viewing experience, please mute your speakers :)
