ALIGNMENT TOWARD STEWARDSHIP
AND SUSTAINABILITY
T
he impact that fossil-fuel-based power systems are
having on the environment is undeniable at this point.
Anyone paying attention to the news not only knows
this, but they also know that alternative energy sources
are popping up right and left. Whether it’s the boom
in electric vehicles, the switch away from fossil fuels to solar- and
wind-based power, or simply individuals learning about their
carbon footprint by being more environmentally conscious, it is in
the forefront of many people’s minds. It should come as no surprise,
then, that many companies are taking environmental stewardship
very seriously and are operating in that green space to push the
boundaries of what is possible. Companies like Nesbit Agencies are
helping these companies by conserving insurance expenses. law in Minnesota and the implementation of regulations and tariffs
that came along with it.
Started in 2009, TruNorth Solar is a solar installation company in
Minnesota specializing in residential, commercial, and utility-size
PV projects that has also recently expanded into solar gardens.
Since their formation, they have built a solid reputation for both
integrity and high-quality work. With a comprehensive knowledge
of the technical and hardware aspects of solar power and the
regulatory structure in which the industry operates, they have been
able to consistently turn that knowledge into benefits for both their
customers and the environment. Not only does TruNorth Solar provide services for residential and
commercial clients, but they also have community solar projects.
These community projects will allow customers to receive the
benefits of solar energy without installing the equipment on their
own property. These subscribers play a huge role in a statewide
effort that Minnesota is undertaking to integrate solar capacity
into the state energy system while simultaneously lowering carbon
intensity and electrical costs.
The company name and mission are derived from the book True
North, written by former MedTronic CEO Bill George. Following
that book’s message, TruNorth encourages its employees, partners,
and clients to align their “internal compass” toward the goal of
environmental stewardship. That same goal is reflected in their
company mission. The founder of TruNorth Solar, Marty Morud,
was one of the driving forces behind the community solar garden
