A new residential solar dealership program launches today in the United States. Civic Renewables, founded by former leaders of Tesla Energy, SolarCity and Sunrun, will act as the parent company to local clean energy businesses, integrating the efficiencies and resources of a large organization. Civic has completed its first two acquisitions of local solar installation businesses: Green Rack Solar of Pennsylvania and Ipsun Solar of Virginia.

“Providing local solar businesses the tools to thrive is the key to accelerating solar adoption nationwide. Green Rack and Ipsun are fantastic local companies that deliver the highest quality installations and service in their market. We’ve founded Civic Renewables to support these exact types of great local businesses and allow them to flourish,” said Lee Keshishian, founder and CEO of Civic Renewables. “We’re grateful for the partnership and backing of GEF Capital Partners and look forward to working together to build a new business model for local solar.”

Civic Renewables is dedicated to speeding the clean energy transition by empowering local solar. The company is actively pursuing opportunities with local businesses across the country.

“Partnering with Civic Renewables allows us to focus on what we do best–quality installation and service. I know and respect the team at Civic, this is a perfect fit for us as we move forward to help our community’s homeowners unlock remarkable financial savings through solar,” said Eben Needham, Founder of Green Rack Solar.
