Community solar, powered by local rooftops.
We lease large commercial roofs, build and own the solar, and share the savings with neighbors through utility bill credits.
Your roof can power your community.
Colite Technologies develops, owns, and operates front-of-meter rooftop solar. Instead of serving only the building below, the power flows to the local grid, and the value is shared as bill credits with households, businesses, and nonprofits that subscribe, including income-qualified (LMI) families. Property owners earn contracted lease income for roof space that would otherwise sit idle.
From Rooftop Generation to Utility Bill Credits
Four steps, one local project.
