You don’t have to know everything to be ready to lead.

When Abby Hopper entered the solar industry, she wasn’t a solar expert. She learned to acknowledge what she didn’t know, trust her own leadership style, and become comfortable being uncomfortable.
She also learned to sit fully in her role—to take up space and say, “I am the CEO.”

In this clip from WCS Talks Unplugged, Abby joins host Sara Fuentes for an honest conversation about stepping into authority, leading through change, and growing into your own power.

Representation helps people recognize that they belong and imagine what may be possible for their own lives and careers.

Abby Hopper, Founder of GEM Advisory and former President & CEO of SEIA, speaks with host Sara Eve Fuentes, Founder and President of SmartWaste Inc and Chairwoman of WCS, about why seeing women and gender-diverse leaders matters to the future of clean energy.

Leadership isn’t only about using your voice when an issue affects you personally. It’s also about using your influence when someone else has more at stake.

Abby Hopper, Founder of GEM Advisory and former President & CEO of SEIA, challenges established leaders to speak up, open doors, and use the power of their networks to help others move forward.

A simple question—“Who do you want to meet?”—can change the direction of someone’s career.

#TBT What an inspiring evening! ✨
On September 8, Women Energize Women joined SEIA’s Solar Sisters Reception at RE+ in Las Vegas, the largest clean energy event in North America.

From empowering speakers at every career stage, to meaningful conversations with experts and allies, the energy in the room was truly electric⚡️

A huge thank you to Solar Energy Industries Association for having us and for creating an inclusive space, where women and gender-diverse professionals can connect, share, and shape the future of clean energy together. 💪🌎

💁‍♀️ You all know I love to throw a party!

👉 @wedonthavetime0 and @solarindustry hosted a celebration during Climate Week NYC to take a moment and express gratitude for how far solar energy capacity and storage has come, and to give thanks to Climate Champions @billnye, @adamajrbrothers, and @undp global ambassador @nikolajwilliamcw

@michelinguide Star Chef @chefsalilmehta and his team brought incredible craft and creativity to the evening, including solar-themed specialty cocktails!

Thanks to @solarhopper for co-hosting the evening with me. It was nothing short of spectacular! 🌟

Until the next one 😉

Featured at the Solar Sisters Reception, “Girl On Fire” by @afarleyart, keeps moving, standing at the center of powerful conversations around climate change.

Our statues are not just traveling — they’re being invited into conversations that matter. And that means they’re doing exactly what they were created to do!

Thank you to @solarindustry and all the women leading with vision and heart.
