Unity and Generosity Shine: Independent Energy's Heartfelt Contribution
In the heart of a tragedy, the true spirit of aloha shines brightest, embodied in the generosity and unity of Hawaii's local solar community. The recent Maui wildfires left many Maui residents without homes. Amidst these trying times, hope emerged through collaborative efforts and support, exemplifying the resilience and compassion of our community.
Independent Energy, a fellow solar installer renowned for its commitment to sustainable energy solutions, has illuminated the path of recovery and rebuilding with a heartwarming gesture of solidarity. Inspired by RevoluSun's involvement in Project Empower and its role in ʻOhana Hope Village—a sanctuary for displaced victims of the Maui wildfires—Desta Rudolph, President at Independent Energy, reached out to Eric Carlson, CIO of RevoluSun. Their conversation, rooted in a shared mission to harness the power of the sun for the greater good, sparked a remarkable partnership.
Moved by the plight of the wildfire victims and the noble cause of ʻOhana Hope Village, Desta and Independent Energy pledged a generous donation of $50,000. Eric Carlson, of Revolusun shared his gratitude, “Desta and independent Energy’s donation to Project Empower, literally made me look twice at the amount. There was discussion of a donation amount and they doubled it! Their incredible generosity and support of the Maui Community says a lot about them as people and a business. It couldn’t have come at a better time. It’s really helped us make significant progress over the last two weeks. It also shows the amazing collaboration of solar companies here in Hawaii”
This act of kindness from Independent Energy not only highlights the collaborative spirit of Hawaii's solar community but also reinforces the belief that we are stronger together. In times of need, it's this unity and willingness to support one another that paves the way for healing and rebuilding.
We are profoundly grateful to Desta and the entire team at Independent Energy for their generous donation and for standing with us in our mission to provide solace and stability to those affected by the wildfires. Their contribution goes beyond the financial; it's a testament to the compassion, empathy, and aloha spirit that defines our community.
Mahalo nui loa to Independent Energy and to all who have contributed to this cause. Together, we are not only rebuilding homes but also rekindling the spirit of hope and community in the heart of Maui.
