From firehouses to jails to major manufacturing hubs, Cherry Street Energy is redefining what it means to build a distributed power plant—and they’re just getting started.

CEO Michael Chanin returns to SunCast to unpack Cherry Street’s explosive growth across the Southeast, including why customers trust them more than their actual local utilities, how hybrid systems are becoming the norm, and what it takes to build a 100-year business in solar.

With deep roots in culture and customer service, Cherry Street is proving that the future of power isn’t just clean—it’s branded, local, and built to last. If you’re wondering what leadership looks like in this phase of the energy transition, you can look no further than Michael and the enduring business he and his team are building.

You’ll discover:

🔹 The mindset that sets Cherry Street apart from the competition

🔹 How they’re expanding from schools to Fortune 500 clients

🔹 Why culture is the most important differentiator in business

🔹 What it takes to be the trusted power provider—even without solar on-site

Your forever customers are waiting. Build something they can’t ignore.
