Our Origins

In 1999, driven by the desire to make a positive impact, our fearless leader began working his way up the solar ladder.

As the most respected purveyor of custom solutions in the industry, Vanguard Furniture appreciates Pisgah Energy’s skill, know-how and experience in crafting a custom solar solution specifically for our needs. Vanguard Furniture partnered with Pisgah Energy and Eagle Solar & Light to design, develop and install five roof-mounted solar projects on our Product Development and Warehouse facilities in Conover, NC. These 1,152 solar panels serve as on-site electrical generation for Vanguard and will produce over 661,900 kWh annually of clean, renewable energy: powering the production of our environmentally conscious furnishings with renewable energy. This is the first phase in converting Vanguard Furniture fully to solar power. We plan to partner with Pisgah Energy at all our manufacturing locations
