Solar energy technology harnesses the sun’s radiation and converts it into heat, light, or electricity. Sunlight is abundant: In one hour, the Earth’s atmosphere receives enough sunlight to power the electricity needs of all people for a year.

ENGIE Distributed Renewables is bringing locally produced, renewable energy to communities across America. Did you know that enough energy from the sun reaches the earth every 90 minutes to power everything electrical on the planet for a whole year? ENGIE is helping communities to capture that energy in a safe, reliable and cost-effective way. From big retail stores to local farmers and movie theaters to schools, ENGIE is letting people plug in to the sun.
