Wishing a happy, healthy, warm, safe, delicious Thanksgiving to all of our friends, family, fans and backers!

We're thankful to be pursuing something we are passionate about, and to have your support moving us forward. We're thankful to be in stable homes with reliable electricity. We're thankful to our wonderful teammates for all the hard work, and laughs shared. We're thankful to The Village for fostering an environment for us to meet and grow. We're thankful to everyone who has taken the time to listen to our ideas. We're thankful for everyone who has given us a nod of encouragement, a "like", a follow, a high five, a hug, a prize, a contribution. We're thankful to fellow entrepreneurs who have given us feedback and criticism to move us forward. We're thankful to all the professionals in the solar industry who have heard us out, shared their wisdom, shared their connections, and shared our enthusiasm. We're thankful to our friends on the ground in Liberia, for the insights, inspiration and encouragement-- we look forward to connecting face to face in January. We're thankful to the sun for everything, literally. We're thankful to our families and friends for believing in us on a personal level. We're thankful to our friends that have tolerated our insanely busy, and sometimes antisocial, schedules. We're thankful to the lunacy shared by our team, as we see it as vital to our success. We're thankful to the folks dedicating their time and energy to rebuild neighborhoods in NY hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy. We're thankful to everyone working in Liberia against corruption and towards sustainable development. We're thankful to everyone working to advance renewable energy, and to everyone working to combat climate change.

We believe change is, by nature, a collaboration. We are thankful.
