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!
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.
