Leading the industry in environmental stewardship

The inherent environmental benefit of renewable energy demands a responsible approach -- from sourcing to manufacturing to end-of-life management. Some dominant solar technologies undercut solar’s environmental benefit by consuming larger amounts of water, coal-powered energy, and carbon to source, assemble, and transport their offerings.

Responsible Solar, on the other hand, minimizes environmental life cycle impacts and transforms waste into resources to provide solutions to climate change, energy security, water scarcity, and a resource-constrained world.
