Sunnyside Energy Community Solar
Sunnyside residents, businesses and nonprofits have an opportunity to benefit from clean, renewable power. Solar United Neighbors is proud to support the Sunnyside Energy Community Solar project. Sunnyside Energy is in the process of developing a solar array that benefits the community.
Signing up isn’t a binding commitment to join this project. It just lets us keep you updated on our progress! See below for more details.
What is Sunnyside Energy Community Solar?
- Are you a Sunnyside resident who is paying too much for electricity but haven’t been able to effectively switch to a more cost-effective plan?
- Do you rent in Sunnyside?
Sunnyside Energy community solar may be the solution. We are bringing together people and organizations who want to participate in what will be one of the largest in-city solar arrays in Texas. The City of Houston awarded the Sunnyside Energy team an opportunity to develop a former landfill in Sunnyside for solar. They will create a vibrant solar farm.
