WeSolar Energy

Community Solar

WeSolar’s mission is to bring under-resourced communities affordable access to local community solar and to assist commercial properties with energy efficiency. WeSolar launched in Baltimore and will expand to other cities in the future. Through WeSolar, electricity consumers can purchase shared solar from a local project without having to install any equipment in their homes. In turn, residents save hundreds on their electricity bills. In Maryland, lawmakers passed legislation that states 50 percent of its electricity must come from renewable energy sources by 2030. The CEO, Kristal Hansley, and her team are disrupters who advocate that communities of color and low-income communities be included in this shift and have a healthy environment in the future. http://wesolar.energy

We’re a full-service production company specializing in branded content across all platforms. Really though, that’s probably the least interesting thing about us. Better to let you know that we’ve staffed our company with people who, in addition to being amazing, are just plain decent. If you get to know us a little better, you’ll see that we run our company consciously and considerately, making it a point to champion marginalized voices and stay firmly committed to social responsibility. And if you stick around, you’ll see that our MO is pretty simple: to treat every project like it matters, applying the same level of focus and passion regardless of scope. Because prestige projects are nice and all, but racking up bonafides is the least of our concerns. We’d rather work on stuff that inspires us, with good people who get who we are and what we do. https://wildgiftcontent.com/
