Slashing CO2Growing the rooftop solar grid.
Big Picture
Corporate demand for clean energy outpaces the grid’s ability to supply it. For many, the answer could come from roofs rather than wires. Roof-top solar power – the most common type of distributed energy resource – can cut power bills and carbon footprints of commercial and industrial (C+I) buildings but is hamstrung by soft costs. Moreover, there’s often a supply and demand mismatch: customers with the biggest rooftops often use the least energy, and vice versa.
How it Works
InRange decarbonizes building energy demand through a renewable energy marketplace. Their platform identifies viable rooftop solar sites near industrial energy loads, and connects the two. Users gain access to cheap, clean energy close by while building owners gain a seamless installation experience that unlocks profit sharing, higher property values, and a portion of the clean energy generated.
Unfair Advantage
By eliminating installation, permitting, and other soft costs for C&I customers, InRange brings the price and scale of distributed energy resources far closer to that of utility-scale renewable energy – without the hassle of waiting in line to hook up to the grid. The platform also benefits from network effects as the clean energy supplied grows cheaper and more dynamic with each new device added.
