Find a Community Solar Project
This is a vendor-neutral, educational tool to help you find community solar projects. We have no allegiance to any particular solar company. SUN does not endorse any particular project or offering. Peruse the listings or use our filters to find one that’s right for you.
Select your state and utility to find a community solar project:
Don’t see your state? It may not have community solar, or community solar may be available but we haven’t listed any projects there yet. Let us know if you’re interested and we’ll do our best to help support the consumers who are looking for solar options but want to gather educational information without the input of bias that could be included in information provided by solar companies.
Are you a developer or subscriber organization? Would you like to list your project(s) here? We can list projects in any state in the U.S. Drop us a line at info@solarunitedneighbors.org.
