Solar Upgrading Nonprofits (SUN)

Resonant Energy is excited to partner with the Providers’ Council and Essex County Community Foundation to support nonprofits and human service providers across Massachusetts as they explore solar as a means of reducing their operating costs and contributing to a clean environment for their constituents.

The program provides busy organizations with ongoing support to simplify the process and mitigate common barriers, such as funding availability, internal capacity, and technical knowledge.
