VideoWhy nonprofits and their installers go solar with CollectiveSun – 3 of 6


This third video in the 6-part series on why nonprofits and their installers go solar with CollectiveSun features Nicole Withrow of CollectiveSun and Kerim Baran of SolarAcademy talking about the scope and parameters for CollectiveSun’s work with nonprofits seeking to go solar.

Video transcript:

Kerim Baran of SolarAcademy: And does this solution, your solution work for any size solar system and anywhere in the us? What is your experience of doing this? Like how wide and deep are you in the market?

Nicole Withrow of CollectiveSun: Right. Great. So I will say since 2017, we have done 190 Solar Power Agreements across 23, 24 states so far. So we can work on any size system provided it’s 50 kilowatts or larger and any area where the state or utility approves third-party ownership in the form of a lease or a prepaid service agreement. Typically, if they will allow a PPA than something like a lease or a prepaid service agreement is also going to be fine there. So if third-party ownership’s allowed, CollectiveSun can operate there. We’ll call and confirm if that’s not been verified yet, but those are the general parameters.
