Welcome to SUN.

Solar Utility Network (SUN) empowers underserved communities with a new way to generate revenue by building environmentally-friendly solar power plants on underutilized land. SUN is a complete solar power development and management solution, offering eligible communities and tribes throughout the U.S. an opportunity to leverage renewable energy to expand their local economy.

Solar power captures the energy of the sun, generating clean electricity that is kind to the earth. SUN helps communities reap the benefits of solar power, while minimizing risk. Once you designate a site, SUN provides all the necessary funding, construction, and management of a state-of-the-art solar plant that can be expanded over time.

Communities who partner with SUN become voting co-owners in a powerful collective, united by a vision to positively transform the current power model. Together, we can promote economic development and self sufficiency for underserved communities, while contributing to the global movement toward a sustainable future.
