Building strong partnerships for community solar
Through its Community Solar program, Sunwealth aims to expand access to clean energy to low-income households. In New Jersey, Sunwealth worked with Citrine Power and Pfister Energy to develop a 682kW carport at the Blue Army Shrine. One of the first community solar projects in the state, the installation will offer income-eligible residents of Warren, Sussex, Morris, and Hunterdon counties a 20% discount on their current electric bills.

In addition to financing these projects, Sunwealth has an in-house subscriber management team that oversees subscriber management for our Community Solar Projects like the one at Blue Army. Through years of experience, we’ve learned that this starts with meeting customers where they are.
Linguistic inclusion is one of the main ways Sunwealth’s dedicated subscriber acquisition team has been working to facilitate communication with residents of the communities we work in. Having recently translated our informational materials into Spanish, Sunwealth Project Development Associate Marlon Dos Santos noted that, “As a non-native English speaker, I am personally aware of the disadvantages that language barriers create. Democratizing access to clean energy means ensuring that we are inclusive of every resident of the communities we work in.” Marlon’s work has paid off, as Sunwealth is fully enrolling subscribers in community solar projects that were developed by partners like Resonant Energy and built by Invaleon Solar.

By investing in income-eligible Community Solar projects, we have an opportunity to change who benefits from clean energy. Building these projects requires working in tandem with communities and bringing value to the table for skilled, local developers and installers.
