Solar Company Plants 30,000 Trees to Mark 30th Anniversary

Go Power! is marking 30 years in business by giving back to the planet in a big way, planting 30,000 trees and kelp strands across restoration sites in Canada and beyond.

The Victoria-based mobile solar power company partnered with Veritree to launch its first reforestation and habitat restoration project. The combined land and marine effort tackles damage from wildfires, deforestation, and warming oceans all at once.

The carbon impact equals removing 112 cars from the road annually. Projects span British Columbia, Alberta's Swale Lake, Greater Sudbury in Ontario, and coastal regions in developing nations.

"As we celebrate 30 years of Go Power!, we wanted to start by giving something meaningful back," said Eva Mitic, the company's marketing director. "It's a starting point that reflects our values and a commitment we plan to grow well beyond this anniversary."

The initiative blends trees and kelp restoration to rebuild multiple ecosystem types. While trees restore wildfire-damaged forests, kelp helps repair ocean habitats affected by rising temperatures.

Go Power! is sharing the impact with its business partners too. The company is gifting dedicated forest plots to longtime dealers and equipment manufacturers throughout the year as thanks for their partnership.

The Ripple Effect

This project shows how anniversary celebrations can create lasting environmental impact. By making reforestation a business milestone, Go Power! sets an example for other companies looking to align celebration with sustainability.

The timing connects the company's history with mobile solar power to broader ecosystem restoration. Since 1996, Go Power! has sold over 1.5 million solar panels for RVs, fleets, and off-grid adventures.

Anyone can track the project's progress through Veritree's live dashboard at impact.veritree.com/gopowersolar. The transparency lets partners and customers see exactly where trees are planted and how ecosystems are recovering in real time.

Thirty thousand trees is just the beginning of what the company plans to grow.
