Fire and Pine Receives Federal REAP Grant to Install Solar Power, Encourages Sustainable Practices in South Carolina


Ridgeland, South Carolina, May 12, 2023 - Fire and Pine, the renowned South Carolina-based company that crafts exquisite wood wall art and burnt engraved maps, is leading the state towards a brighter, more sustainable future. Fire and Pine has recently installed solar panels at their facility, a move made possible in part by the federal tax credit for solar panels and a Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grant. This grant is aimed at promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy development in rural communities.

Fire and Pine’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond its crafted pieces that celebrate nature's beauty. The company's green initiative is further underlined by its recent move towards renewable energy. The solar panels, installed at their Ridgeland facility, are a testament to Fire and Pine's dedication to a sustainable future and its leadership role in promoting environmentally friendly practices.


"By investing in solar energy, we're not only reducing our environmental impact but also setting a positive example for businesses and residents in the region," said Ryan Martz, owner of Fire and Pine. "We've already seen significant savings on our energy bills, reinforcing our belief that solar power is not just viable but also beneficial in the long run."


The switch to solar energy is poised to bring several benefits to South Carolina residents, including reduced energy costs, increased property value, job creation, and energy independence. Moreover, solar power is a clean, renewable energy source that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to the fight against climate change.


Fire and Pine's endeavor serves as a compelling example for other South Carolina residents and businesses, particularly those in rural areas eligible for the REAP grant. As more people embrace solar energy, the state can look forward to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, increased energy independence, and a surge in local job opportunities.


Fire and Pine is eager to share their solar journey with customers, suppliers, and the broader community, encouraging others to explore solar power as a sustainable, beneficial option. Those interested will be able to see real-time metrics reflecting the results of the solar panel installation on Fire and Pine’s website in the near future. The company's story is a testament to the potential of solar power to transform businesses, communities, and the environment, leading South Carolina towards a greener, more sustainable future.
