Solar Neighbors
The sun doesn’t just shine on the rich and famous; the sun shines on us all!

Community Solar Trust
Inspired by the successful Storehouse of Hope Community Land Trust, NEWCC has developed an innovative Community Solar Trust model, designed to establish renewable energy assets that directly benefit our community. These assets aim to lower the skyrocketing energy costs faced by already energy-burdened residents, bringing financial relief and sustainable solutions to our neighborhoods.
