While rooftop solar has experienced significant growth, nearly 50% of American households and businesses are still unable to participate due to shaded roofs, rental status, or structural limitations. To tap into this vast market, solar developers and independent power producers (IPPs) need more than just a platform: they need a trusted partner with strong community connections and operational excellence.

At Solar Simplified, we provide the essential infrastructure to connect your solar projects with a ready and eager subscriber base.

How our municipal partnerships benefit your portfolio

Solar Simplified continues to grow its municipal footprint across the country. Most recently, the City of Syracuse awarded us, in partnership with EnergySmart CNY, oversight and management of the Syracuse Community Solar Program. As the program manager, we handle everything from marketing the program and enrolling residents to managing customer service and acting as the primary liaison between subscribers, the solar projects and the utility.

This partnership was recently featured on Syracuse news channel, WSYR, where city leaders explained how easy it is for residents to join the program through our online platform. As Solar Simplified CEO, Aviv Shalgi, noted, this kind of public support creates a 'halo effect' of trust. For our partners, that trust leads to faster sign-ups and much lower churn.

For an IPP, our municipal partnerships translate to:

  • Faster Project De-Risking: Meet subscription targets sooner through rapid, high-density enrollment. 
     
  • Sustainable Cost Savings: Preserve free subscriber acquisition and lifetime churn replacement guarantees through lower customer acquisition costs (CAC).
     
  • Streamlined Permitting and Zoning: Reduce administrative delays by providing local permitting and zoning support. 
     
  • Trusted Outreach for Low-Income (LMI) Access: Meet specific LMI carve-out requirements by providing pre-qualified subscribers.
     
  • Institutional Credibility: Provide the long-term stability that tax equity investors and lenders demand.

Proven partnerships

We believe community solar only works if it benefits everyone. Navigating complex state rules and equity mandates is second nature to us, but our real focus is making clean energy accessible to the people who need it most. By managing a smart balance of low-income and traditional subscribers, we ensure your project hits its impact goals while staying financially strong. At Solar Simplified, we don't just follow the rules; we help set the standard for what a successful program looks like.
