Solomon Community Solar

What Solomon Community Solar does

Solomon Community Solar LLC is a community solar subscriber management and customer acquisition services company founded in 2018 and headquartered at 12 South Main Street, Norwalk, Connecticut. Operating today with approximately 25 full-time employees (per its About page), the company delivers end-to-end white-label support to community solar developers, asset owners, utilities, and municipalities, including multi-channel customer acquisition (direct mail at 1-2 million packages per month, digital, face-to-face with bilingual agents, and municipal/community partnerships), automated billing and collections, on-bill credit reconciliation, and call center operations. Its platform is anchored by a proprietary allocation tool, an automated billing process built on a state-of-the-art CRM, a custom 24/7 customer member portal, and a proprietary "20-Point Proven Acquisitions Formula" acquisition methodology.

The company sells primarily to enterprise clients — investor-owned utilities such as NYSEG, PSE&G, National Grid, Eversource, Central Maine Power, and Con Edison, alongside developers including Solar Farms New York and Cornell University–affiliated projects — and serves end subscribers under those developer and utility brands rather than its own consumer brand. It has enrolled over 60,000 residential customers representing more than 550 megawatts of subscribed capacity and operates across more than 20 US states in the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest, with a distribution-channel moat built on 100+ Clean Energy Partner non-profit relationships.

In June 2025 Solomon was acquired by Community Solar Platform, and as of February 2026 the combined entity manages 850 MWdc and 1.5 GWdc of capacity and over 300 community solar projects across twenty states following CSP's acquisition of the Gridwealth Services portfolio. Revenue is generated through recurring subscription services for community solar subscriber lifecycle management and professional services revenue from billing/collections and white-label customer acquisition marketing; subscribers receive a 5-25% guaranteed discount on their allocated solar electricity on a monthly billing cadence.

Direct peers

• Gridwealth: Gridwealth was a community solar subscription management and operations provider whose portfolio was acquired by Community Solar Platform (Solomon's parent) in February 2026. It was a direct peer in the same customer acquisition, billing, and subscriber management niche prior to the combination.
• Perch Energy: Perch Energy is a community solar subscription management and customer acquisition platform that signs up households and businesses to community solar farms and manages the subscriber lifecycle. It competes directly with Solomon on the same white-label acquisition and subscription services value proposition for community solar developers.
• Solstice: Solstice is a community solar software and services platform that helps developers acquire, enroll, and manage subscribers. It is the closest direct competitor to Solomon's 20-Point Acquisitions Formula and end-to-end subscription management offering.
• Arcadia: Arcadia operates a clean energy marketplace and subscription platform that connects households to community solar and other distributed energy products. It competes with Solomon on community solar subscriber acquisition, billing integration, and CRM-style subscriber lifecycle management.

Broad incumbents

• Uplight: Uplight is a broader clean energy customer engagement and utility SaaS platform serving electricity providers with energy efficiency, demand response, and solar subscription tooling. It overlaps with Solomon on utility-facing subscription management but operates across a wider portfolio of clean energy programs.
• Spruce Power: Spruce Power is a residential clean energy subscription and services company owning and managing residential solar and storage assets across the US. It is adjacent to Solomon as a subscriber-side platform and shares recurring-revenue economics tied to residential clean energy contracts.
• Nautilus Solar Energy: Nautilus Solar is a community solar developer and asset owner operating across the US, and is a current or prospective customer of Solomon's subscriber management and acquisition services. It represents the demand-side buyer of community solar subscription services.
• Clearway Community Solar: Clearway Community Solar is a developer and owner/operator of community solar projects that contracts with subscription services firms like Solomon. It is a customer-side peer that competes for the same subscriber pool and has occasionally operated its own subscription platform.

Emerging players

• EnergySage: EnergySage is a solar marketplace that connects consumers with solar installers and increasingly with community solar projects. It overlaps with Solomon on customer acquisition for distributed solar but is primarily a lead-generation platform rather than an end-to-end subscription servicer.

Regional players

• CleanEnergyTrust (community solar developers): CleanEnergyTrust and similar regional community solar developer/operator networks share Solomon's market (community solar subscription management) but typically focus on regional project development and operate more as developer-customers than as subscription services vendors.
