Black Rock Solar

Black Rock Solar started in 2007 as a volunteer crew installing a 30-kilowatt solar array at Burning Man. It turned into something much larger. The organization went on to install 7.6 megawatts of solar across Nevada — powering schools, tribal colleges, Native American cultural centers, and communities that needed clean affordable energy most. In 2017 it transitioned into Black Rock Labs, a clean-tech accelerator. What began as a camp project became a genuine solar nonprofit, born from the playa.
