This CSA is currently full. But, occasionally members move outside of the Central Hudson service territory and a space will open up. Add your name to the waitlist and we’ll reach out when we have a spot available!
How does Community Solar work?
Our roots run deep
SunCommon is your homegrown solar installer, located in nearby Rhinebeck. We’ve been helping Hudson Valley residents go solar since 2002, and our thousands of happy customers there can attest to our high quality products and the integrity we bring to our work. When you choose SunCommon, you’re putting your energy dollars towards something bigger: your own community.
Hometown power, hometown pride
When you go solar, you’ll be helping to generate clean power for yourself, your neighbors, and for the town itself. The Red Hook CSA has offset the electricity usage of approximately 250 homes and 27 municipal electric bills in the Town and Village (Red Hook and Tivoli), including the town halls and libraries. The array will save the town thousands of dollars every year and will produce an amount of clean energy equal to taking 450 passenger cars off the road!

Support the local economy
The solar array will be built in the Village of Red Hook, behind the firehouse, on 9 acres of land. 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 Red Hook. Not just any small American town can say they are solar powered, so we’re stoked to be part of this story.
Here’s How Community Solar Works
Members of a CSA use solar credits produced by that array to reduce or eliminate their utility bill. The only requirement to become a member of a Community Solar Array is that you live within the same utility load zone as the array. Since most utility load zones span counties, towns, and zip codes, our Solar Advisors will help determine which array you would belong to.

No long-term commitment, perfect for renters.
Easy.
No installation at your home, no change in utility.
Local.
Supporting solar projects in your area helps build a stronger community.
