Our story

Solar Cannabis Co., founded by CEO Edward Dow III, revolutionized the cannabis industry by creating America's first energy-independent cultivation facility in Somerset, Massachusetts. What began as a 70,000 square foot state-of-the-art cultivation facility has grown into a multi-state operation employing around 200 individuals from local communities.The company initially focused on Massachusetts' South Coast region before expanding into Rhode Island in 2023 with the opening of their Warwick dispensary. A major milestone came when Solar earned over $1 million in utility rebates from National Grid – a record for the cannabis industry – for their innovative LED lighting implementation. Solar has also made strategic acquisitions, including five Denver-area Terrapin Care Station locations, demonstrating their commitment to calculated growth.From the beginning, Solar has embodied Bay State innovation, building their reputation on sustainable practices and energy independence that sets them apart from traditional cannabis operators.
