Go Local Energy technicians installing solar panels on a commercial rooftop in Puerto Rico

Commercial solar, developed and financed.

Go Local Energy develops, structures, and funds commercial solar and battery projects in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the mainland U.S. Businesses come to us to cut energy costs with no money down. EPCs and developers come to us for the capital and tax structure that gets their projects built.

Bring Us a Project

For Businesses

You own or operate a facility.

Lower your power bill with no upfront capital. We design, finance, build, and stand behind the system, and you can own it outright or simply buy the power at a fixed rate below your utility.

For EPCs and Contractors

You can build it. We fund it.

Bring us commercial projects you can install but cannot finance. We bring the capital stack, the tax equity structure, and the project entity. You keep the construction work and your customer relationship.

Talk to our development team

For Developers and Project Owners

You have the project. We have the balance sheet.

Site control, interconnection, and an off-taker are the hard part. We co-develop and co-own from there, funding development through construction and into long-term ownership.

What Go Local Energy actually does

We are not a solar installer that also arranges financing. We are a development and finance company that builds a solar project the way a real estate developer builds a building: we originate it, structure the ownership, raise the capital, manage the engineering and construction, and own or place the finished asset. We do it where the economics are strongest: Puerto Rico and Hawaii, where power is expensive and the grid is unreliable, and select mainland markets where commercial portfolios can be built at scale.

01

Origination and development.

We find and qualify commercial projects, run the energy analysis, and take a site from a utility bill to a fundable project. Rooftop, ground mount, and carport, with or without battery storage.

02

Capital.

Development capital, construction financing, and long-term ownership capital for commercial solar and storage. Our partners do not have to fund projects off their own balance sheet.

03

Tax equity structuring.

Federal investment tax credits are worth 30% or more of project cost, and most local contractors and building owners cannot use them efficiently. We structure partnerships that monetize those credits, including credit transfer under Section 6418, so the value lands in the project instead of being left on the table.

04

Engineering and construction oversight.

Design review, quality control, and project management across the build, with the actual installation performed by vetted local EPC crews in each market.

Two islands with the same mission.

Puerto Rico and Hawaii pay some of the highest electricity rates under the U.S. flag, and both run on grids that go down. That combination is why commercial solar and battery storage pencil faster there than almost anywhere else, and it is where this company was built. From that base we develop and finance commercial projects on the mainland, where the same structures work at portfolio scale.

Puerto Rico

Headquartered in San Juan. Commercial and industrial solar and storage across the island, built with local Puerto Rican EPC partners who know the permitting process, the interconnection queue, and the buildings.

Hawaii

The highest utility rates in the country and the relationships to go with them. Our team has delivered hundreds of megawatts of commercial solar across the islands, including resort, automotive, and industrial systems with battery backup.

We also take on select commercial projects in the U.S. mainland.

Trusted by island businesses in Puerto Rico and Hawaii, and built with local contractors.
