SolarAPP Foundation: Making Connections, Building Success

Written By Jess Skylar

When we needed the right expertise fast, Helia delivered. They didn't just find us a grant writer or a project manager - they found us a great partner who could both meet our immediate deadline and contribute to lasting systems. Their ability to make exactly the right connection, exactly when we needed it, made all the difference.
