Monolith Solar

The story of Monolith Solar starts in 2008, and like so many great companies, with two guys in a garage. They started out putting solar on their own houses, then they moved on to powering the Rensselaer Library, as well as the Union College and Key Bank. Those panels are still in place to this day. They soon grew too big for the garage, and refurbished an abandoned spot in downtown Rensselaer, which they’ve almost out grown. Between the solar panels, and the turning around of the office building, the effect they’ve had on the town has been immeasurable.
