“It’s really been a labor of love building this business,” Hipskind said, adding given the challenges faced in education, including funding, meeting state standards and other issues, “to tell them you don’t have to pay money, that can be too good to be true.”

To invest in alternative energy is to invest in the student. The example set for them, their teachers, and their community is one that students take beyond the walls of the classroom as they go out into the wider world. Cost-savings and increased educational opportunities through solar help schools increase their already high investment in each student, all to make the world they become part of that much brighter.

Yesterday we cut the ribbon on the new solar farm for NEO Education, Inc! Congratulations to NEO for this achievement and for all their great work. We are proud to work exclusively with schools and excited for our continued partnership with NEO and our many other school partners. Stayed tuned for more updates about NEO and our other schools.

Last Thursday we broke ground at Otsego Public Schools for their new solar array and introduced the SAMI Experience to their students. Partnering with Otsego and helping them elevate all the fantastic work they’re doing is a privilege and an honor. As a partner, we not only make the process of getting solar easier but also provide educational opportunities through our SAMI Platform and the different avenues afforded by alternative power. It’s an exciting time for solar energy, but even more exciting for the schools that take advantage of the opportunity it provides.

Otsego continually sets the example for all schools that seek energy cost-savings through the #1 renewable energy source, additional educational opportunities, and potential classroom reinvestment. We are proud to be their partner and excited to start construction! Learn More: https://bit.ly/35XDKPb
