SOLAR SISTERS of the
TRAVELING HARD HAT

The Solar team recently launched the Sisters of the Traveling Hard Hat program to spotlight the amazing women on our projects. These women were selected by their fellow project team members because they exemplify our culture through positivity, grit, determination, hard work, and a team-centric attitude. We are proud to have them on our team – leading the future women of solar.
