Spotlight: Lauren Boulware
Spotlight on Solar Pro Lauren Boulware
For December’s spotlight on a Solar Pro, Renu wanted to highlight someone who is praised by her coworkers and has a passion for everything solar: Lauren Boulware. Not to mention, she was also our September’s Employee of the Month!
Lauren was born and raised in Rock Hill, South Carolina. She received her associates in Science. Since a little girl, Lauren always had a passion for the environment.
When asked “How did you first get involved in solar?” Lauren stated “ I have always been into a clean environment! When I was a little girl, I would complain to my mom about dump trucks and 18 wheelers putting exhaust/pollution in the air. I’ve never been one to litter and I always cut my plastic!”
As time went on, Lauren’s enthusiasm for the environment continued to grow. Which ultimately lead her to join Renu!
“ When I heard that Renu was hiring I was beyond interested in the position. Solar energy is something that I believe is helping our environment, no matter how little of impact, it’s a step in the right direction!”
Lauren stated when asked, “Why did you choose to work for Renu?”
Lauren Boulware has been a part of the Renu team since February of 2019. She has been honored with the title of top Inside Sales Women for several months now as well. Lauren is very much appreciated in the office with her positive attitude and love of helping individuals lower their electric bills for several years.
“I try to be pretty dynamic in my role. I like to help our sales team wherever help is needed. I’m dedicated to my work and want to ultimately see Renu grow. I try to be supportive of the ASMs as well as the inside.”
What excites her the most about the renewable energy industry, is the growing advances in the technology sector. She stated “ It’s exciting to watch solar grow in my home state, SC. I’m super excited to witness batteries advance in technology. This one advancement in solar could change the entire way we power our homes!”
Outside of work, Lauren’s biggest hobby is spending as much time possible with her daughter and creating countless memories. She also stated “I love being in the sun! Whether it’s from yard sailing, camping, river rafting. I’m a happy girl while as long as I am getting my solar rays!”

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar for Your Home:
How exactly does going solar and a solar system itself work?
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
Roof-size/available space: When we look at the size of your roof and the space available, we gather data that tell us the maximum number of solar panels your home or site can hold and we even consider shading. We use a software “Suneye” which takes a 360 picture of your roof and we use this photo to determine if your home is a good candidate for solar.
Energy Usage: When we determine energy usage we look at your past electrical bills from over the course of a year to make sure your system isn’t too big or too small.
Your Budget: We take your budget seriously and most importantly, we want you to be satisfied with our services. We take your feedback on how much you want to spend so that we can size your system appropriately.
