We have the solution to the solar problem
This gap highlights the inequity in clean energy adoption. Traditionally, barriers like shaded roofs, not owning the roof, or too high of costs have prevented nearly 80% of the market from getting solar energy. Community solar offers a solution by pooling resources to build large solar installations shared among subscribers, at no additional cost to the subscribing residents and businesses.
At Neighborhood Sun, we connect those who want clean energy with those generating it through our SunEngine™ platform, efficiently managing community solar projects and subscriptions. Our success lies in making clean energy accessible to all, fostering an equitable clean energy transition.
Our Traction Since Our Last Wefunder Campaign Speaks for Itself
Since our last raise of $1MM in 2022, WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GROWN OUR REVENUE by 257% building out our technology SunEngine™ platform and supercharging our market expansion. We have passed on 89% more savings than in 2022.
We currently work with 14 solar developers with 134 projects under our management
Recurring Revenue is the Key to Accessing the $2B Community Solar Industry
Curious to know the extra element that makes Neighborhood Sun even more valuable than you may already think? It’s our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). We sign long-term contracts with solar asset owners, which translates into many years of ARR.
Our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), the main metric in determining our enterprise value, is now over $1MM per year and growing
