It may be the shortest day of the year but luckily for us Coloradoans, there is always plenty of sunshine! Did you know that solar panels perform just as well in cooler temperatures?

We believe that every day is #EarthDay! Throwback to Namaste Solar at the 2019 Global Climate Strike. We advocate for environmental justice by supporting policy and participating in local events. See any signs you like?

Arthur Hicks - Namaste Solar

“Arthur [Hicks] built a partnership between Namaste Solar, Denver Public Schools, and the district’s CareerCoach program to give high school students the opportunity to learn about professional paths in the solar industry. He drove this partnership with Namaste Solar’s mission and values in mind, notably to ‘create holistic wealth for our community’ and to ‘build equity and dismantle oppressive systems,’” Zoe McKinney, marketing coordinator for Namaste said.

“This program helps students from historically underrepresented groups gain valuable career experience in the electrical trades. Interns develop the technical skills to create residential solar designs that are used in new construction communities. Namaste Solar employees have mentored 60 students, totaling about 1,400 volunteer hours. As someone who attributes many opportunities he’s had to being a former DPS student, Arthur is proud to give back.

“As the senior director of technical services, Arthur leads the Residential Design, Consulting Design, and Operations and Maintenance teams. The results of his leadership can be seen in record profitability in 2021 for his division at Namaste Solar. Last year, Arthur oversaw 17,900 solar designs, totaling 269 MW of solar. The clean renewable energy these systems produce is equivalent to removing emissions from 129,146 vehicles each year for the life of the system. “Arthur has held various roles at Namaste Solar, including warehouse manager, commercial installer and residential designer. Each of these positions allowed him to develop skills that made him the leader he is today. He encourages new hires to explore their interests and find avenues of professional development within the company. As a senior director, Arthur prioritizes the growth and happiness of his co-workers. This approach has increased tenure and creates an inclusive, capable, and well-rounded team at Namaste Solar.”
