Sungevity Gives Back

 

 

We Generate Positive energy, you Generate Positive change, we all Generate Positive for the world!

We’re thrilled to announce that Sungevity is kicking off our first “giving contest” this holiday season.  Any non-profit organization can apply to compete for a $20,000 gift to continue the great work that they do.  It’s simple: if you’re a non-profit, apply here.

Organizations will tell us in 140 characters how they would Generate Positive with $20,000.  Sungevity will then select 30 organizations to compete in the month long contest.  The goal for participating organizations is to get the most supporters to vote for their organization and win $20,000!

Here’s how it works:

• Each voter will be able to vote 1 time for a participating organization.
• If a voter is in our service area and requests an iQuote, the organization gets 10 more votes!
• If a voter is out of our service area and signs up to be a member of OurSungevity referral platform – the organization gets 10 more votes!

Do you have a favorite organization that could use $20,000 to Generate Positive?   Enrollment is now open, spread the word!  And don’t forget to check back on Nov. 11th to start voting.

The contest will run from November 11^th – December 11^th, 2013.  Go on, Generate Positive!

Getting Ready for the Holidays

 

Yes, you’ll save money by swapping out your incandescent lights with CFL or LED bulbs – but what do you do with all the old bulbs?

 
The holiday season is coming up, and it’s time to get crafty and Generate Positive! Thanks to Upcycle for the idea.

When Your Car Runs on Sunshine

 

This nifty upcycle idea comes from the highest solar power-producing country in the world: Germany. All those electric cars that run on sunshine mean that gas tanks are looking for a new line of work.

Who It’s For

 

 

In the climate-changing future, we want her generation to ask us how on earth we won, not why we didn’t fight harder.

 

Together we Generate Positive.

 

 

Herman’s Recovery

 

Remember Herman? He’s recovering well!

 
“As you’ll see in the photo, Herman’s not one for wild expressions of glee. The stitches are out and he’s wearing a fashionable sock to protect his foot.

 
The vet says he will likely be able to go to the beach in less than week. We’re all excited about that.” -Ellen, CA.

 

Help Herman, Generate Positive!

 

 

Solar Ice Pops are Back!

 

Calling all Northern California sun-lovers: get a free all-natural solar-powered ice pop this Sunday, October 6th!

 

We’ll be at the Bridge to Bridge event in San Francisco. Come help us Generate Positive!

 

 

Utilities Catching On

 

Some of the smarter U.S. utilities are catching on to the fact that rooftop solar can save them money too.

 

(To which we say, “Welcome to the party!”)
