Community Solar Developments

PowerMarket is a community solar company established in Brooklyn, NY, in 2015, with a mission to connect people to clean, local, and affordable power. They are a trusted leader in the community energy sector, providing the education, outreach, management, and support of community solar subscribers through their proprietary software. The company matches customers to electricity generated at local community projects, working with renewable energy developers nationwide. PowerMarket is 100 percent employee-owned and currently manages 1.354 GW in total capacity across 637 active projects, serving customers across 14 states and 39 utilities.

The core offering is Community Solar, or Community Distributed Generation (CDG), which makes clean energy accessible without the cost or hassle of installing rooftop panels. Customers join a local project and receive energy credits on their monthly electric bill, resulting in guaranteed savings, with some programs offering a minimum of 5 percent. This model is designed for broad accessibility, serving homeowners, renters, and businesses, and PowerMarket specifically works to break down barriers for lower- and moderate-income customers. Since their first bills went out in 2017, they have processed countless transactions, contributing to significant environmental impact by offsetting over 2.4 million metric tons of CO2.
