Sunswarm

Inspiration

75% of consumers can't install solar on their rooftop. Community Solar allows retail electricity consumers to subscribe to the energy output of a large centralized solar plant. It's complex and expensive for a solar plant developer to find subscribers, calculate their savings, and make sure they meet all the state rules.

What it does

In the Sunswarm app, subscribers sign up with relevant information about their energy usage, location, etc. Developers input information about their solar project. Sunswarm has a database with all the complex state rules and matches subscribers to projects based on those rules. Also, Susnwarm calculates the savings for the subscriber and the revenue for the developer.
