Community-driven Transition to Clean Energy
Amid a lack of bipartisan support for addressing the climate crisis, local community groups and individuals are taking the lead in pushing for a shift towards a clean energy economy.
One such initiative, ClearSky Solar, is actively supporting businesses in moving away from fossil fuels by facilitating investments in clean energy and sustainable projects. Their approach involves connecting community investors with local solar initiatives in need of financial backing.
Empowering Businesses with Clean Energy
ClearSky has played a pivotal role in funding solar installations across various sectors, including car washes, breweries, retail outlets, hotels, utilities companies, supermarkets, and bakeries. Over the span of a decade, they have successfully raised $26 million, completed 95 solar projects, and generated an impressive 20 megawatts of rooftop solar energy.
