At SunCommon, we tell stories to drive change. We build connection and community by telling the stories of your neighbors — homeowners, farmers, and small business owners in Vermont and New York — who’ve realized the benefits of switching to clean energy. Whether by going solar, switching to an EV, installing a home energy storage system, or committing to more sustainable practices overall, your choices are what drive the movement to transition our world off of fossil fuels. What better way to inspire further change and build a brighter future together than by sharing the words of our happy customers and community partners?
