Our Mission
Domestically produced high-quality, sustainable panels that
create jobs, life skills and opportunities for released felons
create jobs, life skills and opportunities for released felons
Crossroads Solar is built on the belief that otherwise good people make colossally bad mistakes. Time spent in prison and criminal records can ostracize people from opportunities. Jobs and housing become a daily struggle, leading many prior inmates to return to crime and prison.
At Crossroads Solar, we aim to break this cycle. Our goal is to produce perfect solar modules with imperfect people, and in the process revolutionize the way we think about crime and punishment and US manufacturing capabilities.
Our employees are released felons who have served their time and earned the opportunity to reenter the workforce with dignity. Many of our team pursued a college degree in prison through the Moreau College Initiative, and demonstrated that they can function as good productive members of society. The videos below provide a sense of who benefits from opportunities like Crossroads Solar.

Core Values
Crossroads Solar was founded on the idea that a business can maximize on three Ps: People, Planet, Profit.
While our company's primary focus is on the people, we recognize that profitability provides the means to focus on the people, and without a stable planet, little else matters.
People
At Crossroads Solar, people matter most. We provide our employees the necessary income and life skills to successfully earn their way back into society. Making a strong living wage with benefits, our team is empowered by the opportunity for work and the dignity that comes with skilled labor.
Of equal importance to us are our customers. As a small, American-based team, we are committed to personal detail and stand behind our product with a 25 year performance warranty.
Planet
Crossroads Solar produces solar panels for the alternative energy industry because we understand the importance of safeguarding the plant. Our company is committed to supporting the transition from a carbon to a non-carbon society as a means to make our planet a little less warm and more environmentally and socially secure. This puts us at the forefront of many faith based and international initiatives to secure the planet for our children.
Profit
At Crossroads Solar, we believe that the income hierarchy between the top of the company and the bottom should be close to flat. As such, our President's salary will remain within 5% of what an employee on the factory floor makes. Our profit is in the employees that we help; therefore, as part of our people commitment, financial profits are shared across the workforce.
