You might think of community solar as a \u201cGroupon for your energy bill\u201d - you get discounted access to clean energy without needing to install solar panels, and leverage the buying power of a group purchase!

Aviv Shalgi, CEO and co-founder of Solar Simplified, is dedicated to expanding the reach of community solar. Solar Simplified acts as an aggregator, linking subscribers with solar project developers. And as the industry grows, the role of aggregator plays an ever-increasing part in helping folks who ordinarily can\u2019t go solar (shade issues, don\u2019t own your home, or a myriad of other reasons) plug into the sun\u2026virtually. How is Aviv helping change how solar is built, bought and bartered?

In this episode, you\u2019ll discover:

\u2022 The vital role of clear communication and building trust in advancing community solar

\u2022 The need for better risk-sharing models and industry standards

\u2022 How aggregators ensure the success and growth of community solar

\u2022 How aggregators manage billing protocols with utilities and ensure regulatory compliance

Learn how Solar Simplified fills the gap by connecting customers to community solar projects.
