Community Solar, right from Ellerslie farm in Rhinebeck!

Nearly 50 local homes will soon be powered by homegrown power – and saving about 10% on their energy costs.  Join us!

Ellerslie Farm and SunCommon are teaming up to help you and your neighbors go solar — no roof required. When you join the Ellerslie Farm Community Solar Array (CSA), you’ll help power your community and support clean energy production, all while saving money. Reserve your spot today!

How does Community Solar work?

No Roof. 

Your solar power comes from the shared, community array – not panels at your home.  Clean, local energy, without a home construction project.

No Commitment. 

Membership is a 3-month rolling commitment.  Need out, no problem.  Let us know, and you’re out in 90 days.

No Upfront Cost.  

No big check to write, no financing to commit to.  Just a monthly subscription – and 10%* savings to boot!

Power grown on the farm

When you go solar, you’ll be helping to generate clean power for yourself and your neighbors. The Ellerslie Farm CSA offsets the electricity usage of approximately 50 homes. The array will save its members thousands of dollars every year and will produce an amount of clean energy equal to taking 80 passenger cars off the road!

Support the local economy

The solar array will be built in Rhinebeck, on the barn roofs of Ellerslie Farm. And the dozens of folks that have designed and developed the project and will be building it work out of our Rhinebeck office. By joining this CSA, you’ll keep your neighbors employed, and focus your energy dollars here. Vote with your dollars for hometown power!

Why SunCommon?

Why SunCommon?

We’re a company that cares about the people and places that surround us. We’re a Certified B Corp in New York State and a Public Benefit Corporation. It’s written into our business plan to consider a triple bottom line: people and planet, right along with profit. We use our business as a force for good, supporting our community and our environment, instead of just thinking about dollars. We also partner with other local businesses that share our values and help our communities thrive.

We are breaking down barriers to clean energy every day by making it easy and affordable for all New Yorkers to go solar. We’re building this array because we believe in vibrant Hudson Valley Communities. We’re excited to help support the clean energy leadership shown by our friends in Rhinebeck. Not just any small American town can say they are solar powered, so we’re stoked to be part of this story.
