## Resource

In this episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, Benoy Thanjan speaks with members of the Solar Sisters about their organization, their partnership with Let’s Share the Sun Foundation, and their recent delegation to Puerto Rico around International Women’s Day. The conversation features Abby Hopper, Noelle Paige, Yejdie Olutosin, Addie Momyer, and Erin Greeson, who share how the Solar Sisters came together, why women’s leadership matters in clean energy, and how solar and battery storage can create life-changing impact for communities facing energy insecurity. The group discusses their experience visiting La Casa de Bondad, a domestic violence shelter in Puerto Rico supported by Let’s Share the Sun, and participating in a residential solar installation for a homeowner who relies on reliable electricity for medical needs. The episode also touches on the challenges facing Puerto Rico’s grid, the role of solar and storage in energy resilience, the ongoing work of Let’s Share the Sun to bring energy access to underserved communities, and a fundraiser Benoy is organizing on June 4th in Jersey City to support that mission.
