Renewable energy company CleanChoice Energy has launched CleanChoice Community Solar.

This new platform connects people to local community solar projects, allowing customers to sign-up in less than five minutes, and manages ongoing customer engagement with completely digital and fully online.

CleanChoice Community Solar helps people support 100 percent local solar affordably with no upfront investment, setup fees or installation.

It was developed by the company’s labs division with support from the US Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative.

Commenting on the development, CleanChoice Energy, CEO, Tom Matzzie said, “Community solar represents one of the most important opportunities to expand renewable energy access in the US, with the potential to reach more than 60 million households across the country.”

“We’ve helped retail customers make the switch to clean energy by making it simple for them. Now, with CleanChoice Community Solar, we’re using that same approach to make community solar just as easy,” Tom added.

Further, the cost of acquiring residential solar customers has been a persistent challenge to the solar industry.

The community solar significantly reduces customer acquisition costs by digitizing the customer journey and creating simple, cost-effective customer engagement.

Moreover, CleanChoice’s platform integrates utility rates, load zone, credit check, payment options, a customer’s specific terms and more – allowing the company to accurately size, price and match the customer to the solar farm and the farm to the customer.

Besides, sales can happen in minutes on the customer’s smartphone, cutting out all the traditional appointments that have plagued solar sales and serving customers in the midst of their busy lives.
