The 3,200 square foot space provides not only more workspace for our growing company, but a large conference room and public area offering meeting and educational possibilities. As always, the public is welcome to stop in to learn about solar. Vermonters have so embraced solar energy that this little state has become a national leader in the industry, a fact that stirs confidence about the future.

“We are thrilled that our new space allows us to create a solar awning, install battery storage technology and provide an EV car charging station for ourselves and our customers,” said co-owner Philip Allen, adding, “We intend to hold monthly events to celebrate, promote and educate on the importance and advantages of renewable energy.”

Same Sun’s first event will be aMarch 20thmixer for the Rutland Young Professionals, followed by our Grand Re-opening onApril 28th. Same Sun’s first project in the new space is for BROC, a non-profit organization that empowers, supports and educates family in ways to be self-sufficient. Last year, aided by a grant from Green Mountain Power, Same Sun worked with BROC to go solar; this year the array will be tripled through Same Sun’s unique lease to own program. The completed solar array will be the largest in Rutland’s downtown, the solar capital of New England.
