Clean Energy USA

What Clean Energy USA does

Clean Energy USA is a Delaware-based solar energy contractor that designs, installs, and maintains grid-tied photovoltaic systems for residential, commercial, and nonprofit customers throughout the state of Delaware. Founded in 2007 in Rehoboth Beach and operating from a single headquarters (20184 Phillips St, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971), the company serves homeowners, businesses (25kW to 250kW systems), and nonprofit organizations such as Metropolitan Community Church of Rehoboth. Its product portfolio has expanded beyond core solar PV to include lithium-ion battery backup systems, Enphase IQ EV chargers (residential and commercial), Span smart electrical panels, and a Solar Health Check maintenance service, enabling an integrated solar-plus-storage-plus-EV ecosystem.

Technically, the company builds grid-tied (on-grid) solar systems using both string and microinverter configurations, integrated with net metering through Delmarva Power and Delaware Electrical Cooperative. Systems are paired with optional battery storage for outage backup and time-of-use optimization, smart panels for plug-level energy monitoring, and EV charging hardware. Clean Energy USA is part of the Schell Brothers family, a Delaware residential homebuilder, providing alignment with new construction and renovation pipelines.

The business model is a direct, field-based installation services revenue stream with one-time project revenue plus hardware margin on add-ons. Typical residential systems (20–24 panels, ~7kW) cost $10,000–$15,000 before incentives, with a 5–7 year Delaware payback; commercial systems average under $3/watt with a 3–7 year payback. Pricing is quote-based, and customers access the 30% federal tax credit plus Delaware state incentives (up to $6,000 residential / $30,000 commercial). The company employs 11–50 staff, runs in-house installation crews, and operates only in Delaware, distributing via phone-driven inside sales, on-site property assessments, a content/SEO blog, and direct partnerships with state financing and utility rebate programs.
