Empowering People with Solar Since 1995!
In 1995, Sundance Power Systems was born from a shared vision of a viable, environmentally sustainable future. In 2025, we celebrate 30 years of ‘empowering people with solar’ – a milestone that we are proud to achieve!
From its humble beginnings in the laundry room of the founders’ solar mountain home, Sundance has grown to become one of the largest renewable energy companies in the Southeast. Headquartered in Weaverville, just outside Asheville, NC, Sundance serves Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. We have also installed systems throughout the region, from our standard 2-hour drive radius, to Charlotte and beyond.
The Early Years
Long before climate change and its effects were mainstream news, Sundance began designing and installing renewable energy systems.
During the early years, we acquired invaluable first-hand knowledge by providing repair and replacement services for the many systems that were installed in the 1970s. Solar and renewable energy technology has grown incredibly since then, and Sundance works diligently to remain at the vanguard of our industry.
The Solar Industry
Over the years, we have played an integral role in the evolution of the solar industry in our region, working to expand the reach of renewable energy in the Southeast. (Check out the ‘milestones’ on our Sundance Timeline, located halfway down our Homepage.)
- In 1998 Sundance negotiated the first Net Metering Agreement in the state of North Carolina.
- In 2023 Sundance was a key part of negotiating the new ‘bridge rate’ and other net-metering changes with Duke Energy.
- Sundance worked extensively with the North Carolina Solar Energy Association (NCSEA) to bring ‘net metering’ and other interconnection options to the region.
- Sundance was a pioneer and played a key role in the development of grid-tied systems in the state of North Carolina.
- Sundance is the local leader in battery storage solutions.
- Sundance designs, installs and services radiant heating systems, one of the few solar companies in the nation to do this work.
Sundance Today
Interest in renewable energy has grown significantly over the years, fueled by lowered system costs and financial incentives. Another big factor is growing awareness of the severe consequences of global climate change. (The regional devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene has certainly raised the profile of this critical issue.) Sundance continues to provide cutting-edge renewable energy solutions for our residential, commercial and institutional customers, including:
- Residential, Commercial, and Municipal solar—providing a comprehensive suite of consulting, design and installation services for each.
- A complete design and engineering department.
- The area’s most experienced Service Department.
The Future is Bright!
The growth in solar and renewable energy over the last 30 years has been astounding. The technology has grown both more sophisticated and more affordable, enabling thousands upon thousands of people to go solar. On the commercial side, the adoption of solar has been amazing. Businesses have realized that this technology is good for both their bottom line and the planet – a fantastic win-win for all! Sundance Power Systems is proud to have been among the first in the Carolinas to bring solar to homeowners, businesses, churches, colleges and more. We pledge to continue this crucial work and provide the highest quality solar solutions to our community. If you have gone solar already, congratulations on choosing to ‘Own Your Power’! If you have not, perhaps 2025 is the year for you…let Sundance assess your solar potential with a free estimate today!
