Rooftop Solar Without the Upfront Cost
SolarCycle Energy · Chicago, IL
"Community solar subscriptions for renters and homeowners alike"
About SolarCycle Energy
85 million American households are excluded from rooftop solar because they rent, have shaded roofs, or lack capital. SolarCycle solves this with community solar gardens — large-scale installations whose output is allocated to subscribers via energy credits on their utility bills.
Subscribers save 10-15% on their electricity bills with zero upfront cost. SolarCycle earns revenue through long-term subscription contracts, which we sell to institutional investors as asset-backed securities.
We have 8 operational gardens across Illinois and New York, serving 4,200 subscriber households. Two more gardens (14MW combined) break ground in Q1 2025. This raise funds 4 additional gardens and our proprietary subscriber management platform.
