Environmental Commitment
SL&P is the first renewable energy company in Alameda

program. We believe you will find that our commitment to
preserving the environment, to “green building” techniques,
and to the well being of our community is unsurpassed in
the solar industry. Sun Light and Power is a member of Build
It Green a/k/a “BIG” (http://www.build-green.org),
a non-profit organization committed to expanding the market
for healthy, durable, energy and resource-efficient housing
in the Bay Area. BIG provides a comprehensive program for
implementing green building through on-going outreach, education,
training and market development. In our efforts to
live and work “green”, we:
- Use recycled paper products and non-toxic cleaning products
- Recycle all possible metals (including wiring, scrap
aluminum, copper pipes)
- Recycle or re-use all paper and cardboard (including
the packaging clients’ PV components are shipped
in)
- Rely primarily on the sun and skylights for our indoor
lighting
- Utilize a solar hot water system to provide 100% of our
hot water needs including radiant heat
- Use low- or no-V.O.C. (volatile organic compound) interior
paints

We are also proud to have built the "ResourceFULL Showcase",
a mobile demonstration center which is routinely featured
throughout the state as an educational tool, displaying over
50 sustainable and alternative building materials.
Social Responsibility
In addition to working green, we strive to be socially responsible
by hiring full-time employees, paying a living wage, offering
benefits, and providing opportunities for life/work balance
including two weeks annual paid time off and additional unpaid
time off. Instead of subcontracting our installations, as
many contractors do in order to cut costs, we cultivate a
collaborative community of employees that is educated, well
trained, and professionally supervised. We acknowledge that
our people are the key to our success.
