CollectiveSun

Founded in 2011, CollectiveSun's mission is to empower nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations to transition to solar energy. The company addresses a key financial barrier: nonprofits cannot directly benefit from federal tax credits for solar installations. CollectiveSun's proprietary funding model involves creating a special purpose entity that can utilize these tax credits, which are then passed on as savings to the nonprofit in the form of a lower-cost solar installation. They connect these solar projects with investors, facilitating the financing and development of clean energy for community-serving organizations across the United States.
