Who We Are

Our mission is to 'get solar done' by providing renewable energy for local communities across the country. By partnering with local communities, we drive economic growth, create jobs and make a positive impact on the environment.

Our work in the community is just as much a part of our company as our solar projects. We contribute to multiple non-profit organizations dedicated to helping the people and places in need, and we have corporate partnerships with The GivePower Foundation, Arbor Day Foundation, Asheville GreenWorks and Women of Renewable Industries and Sustainable Energy. Read more about the impact we’re making.

We’re proud to have been named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list, Inc's Best Workplaces lists and awarded the No. 37 spot on the Inc. 5000 prestigious annual list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies all in 2021.

  • Irene & David Sexton, landowners
    We spoke with the representative from Pine Gate who came to our home and explained the process. After careful consideration, it was almost a no brainer. My husband works hard on the farm and we needed to replace a portion of my income when I retire. And so we made the plunge into unfamiliar territory. The personnel have been great, timely in their communications. We are so grateful that we took a leap of faith! I am now retired, the added income from the solar panels has been a godsend to us.
