Transsolar and WattCarbon are partnering to invest in rooftop solar projects in West Virginia, with the aim of reducing 200 tons of carbon emissions this year.
Transsolar purchased the energy attribute certificates (EACs) from West Virginia solar developer, Solar Holler, through WattCarbon’s OpenEAC Exchange.
Informally known as “coal country,” 89% of West Virginia’s grid is coal-based. Solar Holler is working to transform the Appalachian area into hubs of renewable energy production.
WattCarbon is providing measurement and verification services to certify hourly solar generation from Solar Holler projects, which will be tracked by WattCarbon’s EAC registry, WEATS.
WEATS is an independent, hourly registry for certifying and tracking Energy Attribute Certificates that fulfill the standards of the OpenEAC Alliance. It connects directly to energy and carbon data sources for each project, and provides a traceable report for all carbon reduction claims.
“Part of Transsolar’s mission is to decarbonize the built environment,” says Tommaso Bitossi, Transsolar’s associate partner.
“We realize that supporting the construction of new renewable energy sources is essential to this process. This is why we decided to fund Solar Holler in a grid which needs to be decarbonized as soon as possible. In WattCarbon we found a partner who sees climate action in the same way as us, that is: you are either decarbonizing, or you are not.”

The author of the meme at left writes, “We’re the only ones.”
This is completely incorrect, not that you care about facts and truth. Over 30 countries, primarily in the Americas, offer unconditional birthright citizenship, granting citizenship to almost anyone born within their territory, regardless of their parents’ status.
For those who struggle with elementary school arithmetic, Trump won the election (50%+ approval) out of more than 150 million votes cast, and now his approval rating is in the low 30s.
That’s ~30 million voters who regret their choices, out of the common American.
Add in the Tucker Carlsons of the world.
Absolutely.
It must be done, because our country is home to some hateful morons who want to see honest, hardworking, taxpaying people with brown skin deported, and their families torn apart.
It wasn’t the American way until recently, but it sure is now.
