Solar Simplified

Solar Simplified is a Chicago-based, unfunded company founded in 2012 that operates as a platform for Community Solar and virtual net metering projects. The company’s mission is to democratize renewable energy by making it accessible and affordable to everyone, including renters, homeowners, and businesses, without requiring any upfront investment or panel installation. It connects subscribers with local solar farms and provides guaranteed savings on energy bills, as solar credits are applied directly to the customer’s monthly utility bill. The company prides itself on transparency and simplifying the complex process of going solar.

The company provides an all-inclusive customer lifecycle solution for solar developers and asset owners, managing everything from marketing and customer acquisition to billing and collections. This B2C platform enables developers to expand their reach beyond large energy-consuming corporations to the general public. Led by CEO Aviv Shalgi, Solar Simplified is focused on growth, particularly in markets like New York, where it has expanded its footprint through acquisitions, such as the multi-million dollar all-cash deal for Northern Power and Light. The company aims to surpass 1 GW of community solar assets under management soon, solidifying its leadership in the Community Distributed Generation market.
