Policy Power: Advancing Clean Energy Campaign 

Help support NCSEA's mission for a cleaner future

As we look back on a year of both challenges and progress in our fight for policies that make clean energy more attainable for all, we are reminded of one thing: the power of community. Together, we have tackled policy issues, championed clean energy, and made strides toward a sustainable future. Now, as we launch our annual fundraising event, the Policy Power: Advancing Clean Energy Campaign, we need your support more than ever. 

This year, our goal is ambitious: to expand our clean energy initiatives, impact the lives of all North Carolinians, and advocate for stronger policies. These efforts are not just projects; they are lifelines for our members and citizens. In 2024, NCSEA continued to fulfill our mission to drive public policy and economic development for sustainable energy  through engagement with our individual and business members, advocacy efforts, our collection of data that helps inform decision-makers, our partnerships with nonprofits and government entities, and through our commitment to telling the clean energy stories of North Carolina residents from all walks of life.  

Why Your Support Matters: 

  • Accelerating Clean Energy Policy: Your donation will help us represent the interests of underserved communities, promoting renewable energy and programs that can have a positive impact on all citizens of North Carolina. 
  • Member Engagement: With your help, NCSEA will represent our members, from the large solar installers to the new green energy homebuilder in a small town, creating a sustainable environment for all. 
  • Advocacy and Education: We aim to empower more individuals, especially young people new to their careers, with knowledge and tools to be effective stewards of clean energy. Your contribution supports our outreach and networking programs, including our Making Energy Work Conference.  

We believe that a strong clean energy ecosystem in North Carolina is within reach, but we cannot do it alone. Together, we can make a meaningful difference. We invite you to be a part of the journey to help us power a more sustainable future for all.

“Rooftop solar is the most efficient and simple way to reduce our dependence on traditional energy sources. It helps reduce the strain on the electrical grid and lasts for decades with little to no maintenance. 8M Solar is proud to be a leader in the North Carolina residential and commercial solar revolution and NCSEA has been a great partner in helping ensure policies stay favorable for continued proliferation of clean energy across the state and region.” - Usman Noor, 8M Solar 

“Carolina Solar Energy engages with communities across the state to enable North Carolina to create an affordable and sustainable energy future. Our team relies on policy and market insights provided by NCSEA to highlight opportunities for additional solar development within the state. Thanks to collaborative partnerships like this, Carolina Solar Energy has been able to contribute to a thriving clean energy ecosystem that has propelled North Carolina to a national leader in installed solar capacity.” - Carson Harkrader, CEO of Carolina Solar Energy
