Vote Solar Creating a better world with the two most abundant resources on earth: solar power and people power.

America’s energy problems — from economic crisis to global climate change — will only be solved by a national transition to renewables. Clean, homegrown, reliable solar energy is ready to play a large part of the solution. It is the fastest growing energy source in the world, but we have still just scratched the surface of solar’s vast energy potential. In order to bring the technology to scale, we need to bring down costs. Vote Solar works to build the economies of scale necessary to bring solar into the mainstream.

🌞 A new chapter for Vote Solar — built on 25 years of momentum.

We’re excited to announce that Sean Garren DeKrey will become Vote Solar’s next Executive Director at the end of 2026, succeeding Sachu Constantine.
For 25 years, Vote Solar has worked across the country to make affordable local solar a reality. We’ve done that work through changing political landscapes, federal rollbacks, and significant uncertainty — and we’ve continued to deliver meaningful progress for solar.

Sean has been part of Vote Solar for more than a decade and currently serves as our Chief Programs Officer. He brings deep knowledge of Vote Solar’s work, strong relationships across the clean energy movement, and a commitment to building on the progress we’ve already made.

We’re also taking this moment to celebrate Sachu Constantine and his leadership. Sachu has helped strengthen our organization, deepen our partnerships, and build a culture that invests in people and grows leadership from within.

We’re grateful for everything he has contributed — and excited for what’s ahead.

Our mission remains the same: advancing a clean energy future powered by affordable local solar.

Did you know the most important decisions about your electric bills, including cost, happen before you use any electricity?

Through utility planning processes, sometimes called Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs) or Distribution System Plans (DSPs), utilities determine how they expect energy demand to grow, what investments they believe are necessary to meet it, and ultimately what customers pay for decades to come.

Customers don’t simply pay for the electricity they use. They pay for the long-term investments utilities make on their behalf.

As electricity demand grows to meet rising electricity demand from AI, data centers, electrification, and hotter summers, we cannot afford for the biggest decisions about our energy future to happen without appropriate accountability.
