On-Site Solutions
Host a Community Solar Farm
Our team matches your suitable land with the nation's most experienced and trusted Community Solar Developers and Asset Owners with our local experience and an in-person or virtual consultation.
Stay up-to-date with our site development team on market trends like rental income, escalators, and option payments all the way through commencement. Work with top-of-the-line community solar legal professionals who will ensure your contracts are lined up for succession, transfers and easements.

Solar for Agribusinesses
Are you a farmer, cooperative, or a rural business?
Allow our development team to step in and take all of the leg work of transitioning your agribusiness or rural business towards clean energy adoption, from identifying the most suitable sites for hosting a Community Solar farm, and qualfying each property for maximum solar incentives.
Our team monitors all available incentives, rebates and tax credits to ensure you've received the highest rental income, the lowest system net cost and fastest payback period with Federal Grants, Incentives and Local Rebates.
Power Purchase Agreements
Rather than financing or sourcing in-house capital to purchase your solar system outright, opt-in for a Power Purchase Agreement. Lock in a long-term, all-inclusive kWh rate, and pay only for what you use. Our PPA financing providers represent the largest institutional investors in the renewable energy transition, with over $2B of committed funding for large commercial projects sized at 200 kW - 10 MW. Operations and Maintenance of the solar system will be fully covered and warranteed during it's useful life for up to 30 years, with a fair market value buyout option after year 6.
Off-site Solutions
Community Solar
Subscribe to a local community solar project off-site and earn bill credits on your monthly utility invoice. Community Solar is available in over 22 states and is the only solution for commercial business tenants and low-to-moderate income residents to access clean energy savings.
Clean Earth Renewables has a leading development strategy for commercial and community solar
Project Development
We provide early-stage development services, including analyzing your property's volatile energy habits, identifying a suitable location for your solar project, and conducting a preliminary system design and layout. We'll then seek to qualify you for the REAP Solar program with incentives and grants that will boost your project's ROI to the point you'll even profit from your solar project by Year 4.
Bidding and Planning
We'll acquire a tenured, local and trusted Solar EPC from our network to secure the engineering, procurement and construction of your solar project. In most cases, the EPC will also be the long-term operations & maintenance provider of your solar project, guaranteeing reliable O&M from the company who built your project to last as long as they will. We'll break down the construction, equipment, and local labor costs for the project via a solar savings report.
Solar Grants and Project Financing
We'll tap you into our diverse network of financing partners that represent the largest and most-trusted commercial-solar financing providers, now offering custom small business loans structured to your incentive and grant payout timeline, with monthly finance payments lower than your monthly electric bill. Your grant, financing and project execution milestones will be reported to you each step of the way through Commercial Operations, Grant Reimbursement, and Tax Credit Transfer or Direct Payment Completion.
Benefits of Adopting Solar Energy
Improve your operating budget
Increase your bottom-line by adopting solar energy by eliminating your electric bill with direct ownership. Self-finance or tap into our financing which offers electric bill payoff periods of 3-6 years, utilizing Solar Grants, Federal and State Incentives, with monthly finance payments lower than the electric bill.
Increase your property value and roof life
Data and real estate agents suggest that properties with an on-site solar system are more visible to potential buyers and sell at a higher value due to equipment costs and avoided utility costs from the solar system. Installing solar on a rooftop can also shield the roof underneath the system from the elements, adding up to 10 years of life to the roof.
Reclaim Energy Independence, Save and Earn
Avoid or mitigate the utility's rising annual charges passed through to you by integrating the most sustainable energy source on our planet into your day-to-day, and flaunt your new energy-saving tool with your neighbors and earn a referral bonus for sharing our services with your friends, family and neighbors.
Client Testimonials
Clean Earth Renewables came in and showed us how we were overpaying on our electricity bill by not participating in community solar. We’re operating an energy-intensive Comfort Inn in Rockford, IL and rooftop solar wasn't going to cover our entire utility bill, and installing a carport solar structure wasn't going to yield enough savings at this time. Once Clean Earth qualified us for a portfolio of local community solar projects in the greater Rockford area, we signed up our entire electricity account and are projected to save 10% per year. We're locked in for 5 years with the option to extend for another 15-years, or terminate at no cost in the event we install solar and require less production from the solar farm. It's been an overall great experience!

I was referred to Diana from Clean Earth by one of my partners who was referred by another one of our partners, both telling me about how the Clean Earth Renewables community solar program would save us money and help us support Illinois' clean energy goals. They showed me how to sign up and how I would be supporting a local community solar project near Rockford, IL, and now we're all achieving our sustainability goals together as a hospitality group. Thank you and Have a great day.

I was referred to Diana from Clean Earth from one of my partners who was raving about their community solar program. We all looked into rooftop solar and decided it wasn't the right time for us, but community solar is the perfect fit for us. Whenever we choose to sell or expand the hotel operations, the subscription can be transferred or expanded to fit our growing energy needs. We are happy to support Diana & Clean Earth Renewables mission of helping businesses save and meet their sustainability goals.

Working with David at Clean Earth to secure our land lease was very easy. He secured above-market rental rates & terms for us with a top Community Solar developer in Illinois, and we’ve already earned our first pre-construction option payment. Both organizations have been a pleasure to work with and we are excited to move through the development process and begin earning soon. Thank you David & Clean Earth Renewables!
