CollectiveSun helps nonprofits and other tax exempt organizations across the country access the environmental and operational sustainability of solar.
CollectiveSun’s unique financing vehicle, the Solar Power Agreement (SPA), monetizes tax credits normally denied tax exempt organizations so they are able to fund a solar system with a 12% discount. They also helps these organizations secure affordable financing and streamline project implementation. The company works with values-aligned investors and solar installers to promote the proliferation of solar for nonprofits.
Founded in 2011, CollectiveSun’s CEO is Dr. Philipp Herzog, an experienced management consultant to leading international clients in areas such as strategy, finance, and development of emerging PV technologies. The company has partnered with organizations in twenty states and helped with the development of over 170 solar projects.
