Our Story

What if we rethink our conventional forms of energy? What if we weren’t reliant on fossil fuels like traditional utility providers? What if we could make solar energy available to anyone who wanted it, without making them sacrifice anything to get it? What if we could be kinder to our environment?

These are the questions that SunShare’s founder asked himself in 2011. And from that, an idea was born: to harness the energy of the sun and make clean and affordable renewable energy the “new norm” – in every home.

Many people told him this was impossible.

But we worked with Colorado Springs Utilities and the local government to create the first competitive community solar program in the nation, and through that process won the right to build solar gardens on Colorado Springs Utilities’ grid. These solar gardens were designed to “grow” energy for the communities they serve, and were the first of many to come.

By placing the solar panels in shared spaces, SunShare became the great
equalizer, creating free choice for consumers and leveling the solar playing
field. We took something that was previously considered special and elite,
and brought it to the everyday citizen.

Today, SunShare is proudly delivering the power of the sun to more people
than ever – making the extraordinary, ordinary.
