Commitment to People

Each of our team members has chosen the renewable energy industry because we recognize the work as meaningful – to our communities, our local economies, and our planet. We start from that shared purpose. Our staff works hard to help anyone in Vermont and New York’s Hudson Valley go solar. In order to support them in this endeavor, we offer a generous benefit package, which includes a competitive wage, comprehensive healthcare coverage, training and professional development, substantial vacation and health/wellness opportunities, and a culture that nourishes an energized and engaged workplace. Our employees voted us among the Best Places to Work.

Commitment to Planet and Communities

Supporting our communities

Our employees are active in our community, and the communities in which they live. We love to participate in local Vermont and Hudson Valley events such as the Corporate Cup 5K, Green Up Day, Magic Hat’s Mardi Gras Parade and the WayToGo! Commuter Challenge, to name a few.

Investing in those with shared values

At SunCommon, we believe everyone has the right to a healthy environment and brighter future – and renewable energy is the place to start. We’ve divested our employee retirements from dangerous and financially insecure fossil fuel investments. We also work hard to ensure our vendors and suppliers share many of our values-driven business practices and sentiment.

Keeping dollars local

We have an enormous capacity to use our business as a force for good, not just with programs around the edges, but even more so by directing the dollars that drive the core of our business toward businesses that share our values and help our communities thrive. Whether at our offices in Vermont or in Kingston, we support other local businesses as much as possible.

Our Digs

It matters where you come to work each day. In Waterbury, VT and Rhinebeck, NY, we’re proud of our net-POSITIVE office buildings. Our HQ in Waterbury is actually the largest net-positive building in Vermont. At our offices, we produce more energy than we use. The extra energy in Vermont is shared out with local homes and businesses through our Community Solar program.
