Black Rock Solar

We’ve been selected as the official solar partner for the just-announced ROTHBURY festival, a four day, camp out concert event in Rothbury, Michigan. They’re committing a minimum of $50,000–with the possibility of much more, donated by participants– to build a permanent solar array on the nearby high school.

Read about the show, see the lineup here, and a news clip about it here, and all about our project here, under Special Rothbury Initiatives. It’s a really great event, with a really forward looking approach to how large events can go green!

In other news, we were honored yesterday by the Washoe County Commission, in a ceremony during their monthly meeting. They passed a “Resolution of Accomplishment” noting the work of Black Rock Solar, Sierra Pacific, MMA Renewable Ventures, SCHOTT Solar, and the Washoe Co. School District in “their effort to improve the quality of life for the Gerlach students” through our installation at the Gerlach school. Aw, shucks.

And then we toured the Children’s Discovery Museum in Reno, to inspect the site for a planned installation on that new facility, later this fall.

And last night, the Searchlight Town Advisory Board approved our moving forward with a plan to build solar on the Harry Reid Elementary School there in Searchlight, south of Las Vegas.

There’s more, but that’s enough for today, stay tuned!
