Equitable Solar Solutions (ESS) aims to bring solar energy to the low-income residents of Gunnison County. We accomplish this through repurposing used solar panels that are tested to assure that they produce sufficient power. Costs are drastically reduced through the use of donated panels, making these systems financially accessible.
