Family Roots:
Founded by Doug Ager and his cousin, Sugar Hollow Solar's roots are deeply connected to four generations of land stewardship in the southern Appalachians and other local family businesses including Hickory Nut Gap Farm and Flying Cloud Farm.
Community Commitment:
With over 100 Google Reviews and Voted Best Place to Work by Best of AVL 2023, we are proud to prioritize the wellbeing of our staff and community. As a living wage certified company, we provide our staff with a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, 401k, and paid time off.
Partnership with Amicus Solar Cooperative:
As the 75th member-owner of Amicus Solar Cooperative, a certified B-Corporation, and Public Benefit Corporation focused on raising up local companies upholding the client's best interest first, along with social and environmental performance. Unlike national solar companies, we understand the specific needs and challenges of our region and can ensure personalized service and attention to detail.
Innovation and Leadership:
Since our inception in 2010, we've transformed into the largest local solar panel and battery backup installation company in Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. What sets us apart is our commitment to owning the entire process. Unlike many others, we don't use subcontractors for our installation work. This hands-on approach ensures seamless communication from the design phase to the installation, leaving less room for errors. We prioritize quality installations, exceeding minimum code requirements because it's not just about meeting standards—it's about setting them. After all, we're not just installing systems; we're servicing our own, and that's a responsibility we take seriously.

“I am extremely impressed with Sugar Hollow Solar. For years, I thought about solar power and talked to a couple of local providers. I chose Sugar Hollow over my second choice, as they explained the process much more clearly (the other company 'lost me' right away). Sugar Hollow cost me a little less, and a real advantage was that they could come sooner than the other company. Great bunch of guys did the installation; smart, polite and trustworthy. I'm producing more energy than they predicted, and, so far, I have no electric bill, even in winter, with the shorter days. I've had the panels for just 3 months, and have set a new kw high record every few days.”
