​This is our future. These solar panels are our future for everyone, and if you subscribe you are helping people who would not have the benefit of it.

Without your company, I don't know what I would do. I don't know what Beverly would do. We would still be struggling.

For once, peace of mind, not constantly worrying about the cost of utilities. I would like to stress that this is a wonderful program.

You're my knight in shining armor. I just want other people to know that this option is available to them and to find out whether they can get in on it too because it really does benefit all.

Diane

It’s not just the bill, but also having heat, having air, and saving money. I will tell everybody to just get involved and help the environment. We are helping each other.

Since [enrolling], I have saved much more money, and my monthly electricity bill is almost zero. I am grateful for this opportunity, and I would like to thank all the subscribers and the entire Groundswell team from the bottom of my heart.

Mekretse

My husband and I are tremendously grateful for our SharePower Empowered subscription -- not only for the lowered electricity costs, but also for the opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint.

Ronnie

Empowered Subscriber in DC

It wasn't that long ago that I too was amongst the low-income median, and I struggled with paying utility bills. It wasn't easy finding assistance, so it brings me joy to be able to give back to others who need help.

LaWanda

Subscriber in DC

I am really impressed with the mission and vision of Groundswell's community solar program. The program is a win-win chance to triple your impact: green your individual energy usage, help neighbors green their energy usage, and also help neighbors who need assistance with their energy costs.
