Sam Wigness

Sam started working in solar as a commercial installer in 2011 and has been creating content in the renewable energy, home improvement, and mortgage spaces for over a decade. He's been published by the Associated Press, Yahoo! Finance, MarketWatch, Home.com, Emeraldology.com and many other digital and print outlets. He's also been cited as a solar expert in The Mortage Reports

Sam has a BA in Communication with an Emphasis in Journalism from the University of North Dakota and was named 425 Magazine's "Top 30 Under 30 Professionals" in 2020 while running an sustainable e-commerce startup.

Based just outside of Seattle, WA, his 4.5 kW solar system provides enough power for his wife, daughter, and dog -- for now.
