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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
