Community Solar
Local Solar that Pays Off For Everyone It Touches
CVE builds and operates community solar farms across North America. Landowners earn long-term lease income, and neighbors save on their electric bills.
Utility rates continue to climb, and income is hard to predict. Community solar turns local land into clean, localized power with income for the people who host it, and savings for the people who subscribe.
Every project starts with the land and the community around it. CVE develops, owns, and operates each solar farm. Landowners lease part of their property, and nearby households and businesses receive bill credits with no panels on their roofs.
Community Solar Solutions Built Around You
Landowners and Farmers
Predictable, long-term income that doesn’t depend on the harvest.
Leasing part of your land adds a fixed annual payment with built-in escalators over a 25+ year term, while you keep farming, grazing, or using the rest of your property. CVE pays for all studies, permits, construction, and maintenance, and removes the equipment at lease end.
Households
Save on your electric bill, with no panels on your roof and nothing to install.
Subscribe to a local CVE solar farm through Halo Community Solar and receive credits on your utility bill for the clean energy your share produces. There’s nothing to install and no upfront cost, and you can sign up online in minutes. Subscribers save X% off the value of their credits.
