In 2025, significant progress in integrating energy storage systems with solar panels is anticipated. A primary focus will be on advancing battery technologies, including lithium-ion and flow batteries, which are tailored for solar energy storage. These innovations promise enhanced energy density, longer lifespans, and improved charging and discharging performance, enabling more efficient use of stored solar power.

The area in and around our main office in Pisgah Forest, NC was hard hit by Hurricane Helene in the fall.  Recovery efforts are still ongoing and will be for some time.  Many families lost loved ones, homes, & places of business during Helene. The impact was life-changing.  Now many of those same areas are under the siege of wildfires burning.  We look out our windows right now and see significant smoke from those fires.  One local restauranteur was only able to return to his home a week ago after the hurricane.  That same home has now burned to the ground.

We stand strong with Western  North Carolina to help support our families, friends & neighbors with our prayers and any other efforts as the needs arise.  Praying for rain and a lot of it!

In 2024, renewable energy set new records by adding 49 GW of new capacity in the U.S., according to a report from the American Clean Power Association (ACP). This represented 93% of the nation's total new installed capacity.

Many countries are prioritizing solar renewable energy including Vietnam. Vietnam is updating its energy strategy to prioritize large solar farms over coal and natural gas.
