Remote Solar

All the benefits of solar without a construction project

Remote or off-site solar lets your organization participate in renewable energy projects and receive bill credits on your utility bills, even if you can't install panels on your property or if your on-site solar capacity exceeds your organization's energy needs.

On-site solar & storage

Generate clean energy directly from your property

On-site solar installs solar panels on your property - rooftop, ground-mount, or carport - to produce electricity your organization uses directly.

SolarShare projects generate revenue for the project owner and host while benefiting local communities. SolarShare redirected a share of energy savings to energy burdened households. This means clean energy isn't just built locally, it's felt locally.
