Company Summary

SunShare started with a simple idea: to give anyone with an electricity bill access to solar energy. Ten years later, we’ve created something even bigger— a new way for utilities and consumers to move from centralized power generation to distributed energy, tap the power of the private sector, and tackle climate change in a cost‑effective manner. Founded in 2011, we are one of America’s largest and fastest‑growing community solar companies. We believe making clean energy choices for businesses, institutions, residential and renters should be easy, and that anyone with an electric bill should have the option to purchase solar energy. We are a dynamic and highly driven company developing 1‑5 MW community distributed solar projects at scale. With an office in Denver, we are committed to hiring and developing the best talent from around the world.
