Giving Back. Every Kilowatt Counts.

Giving Back With Sustainable Efforts & Partnerships

As an environmentally responsible company, Firefly Solar believes in giving back. To this end, we have partnered with One Tree Planted as an official Restoration Partner. For every kilowatt of solar we install, we will donate enough for two trees to be planted. On average, this will be around sixteen trees for every residential solar system installed. We sincerely appreciate you choosing us as your solar installer, and your help in creating a better future for our planet. Thank you!

Save Money While Giving Back.

Appalachia Region

Appalachia is one of America’s most beautiful and renowned regions, stretching from the state of New York, all the way down to Alabama and Georgia.

Ecologically Diverse

Home to the namesake Appalachian Trail, more than 150 tree species can be found in the region, making it one of the most diverse ecological regions in North America.

Degraded Forest

Unfortunately, the resource wealth of the region also means much of the forest has been degraded by mining and timber operations. It’s time for giving back.

Giving Back

However, with an ever-growing tourism industry environmentally conscious organizations are stepping up to return the region to its former glory.

Giving Back With Renewable Energy

How does going solar contribute to giving back? As mentioned, for every kilowatt of solar we install, we will donate enough for two trees to be planted. On average, this will be around sixteen trees for every residential solar system installed. Planting native tree species is critically important after deforestation, helping the entire ecosystem recover with both native flora and fauna. Without tree planting, these areas become overrun with non-native invasive species.

Giving back protects wildlife and improves economic outcomes

As one of the most biological diverse regions of North America, planting trees will help preserve the unique biodiversity of Appalachia. Salamanders, song birds, and copperhead snakes are just a few of animals you can help.

Communities in Appalachia were hit particularly hard during the economic downturn of the last decade. This project provides jobs for skilled and unskilled workers, equipment operators, nursery operators, as well as the local tourism industry!

This project also creates meaningful jobs in communities suffering from high rates of poverty and unemployment. Our planting partners are also implementing conservation practices to ensure the forests are maintained sustainably for many more years to come.
