Community Solar for Affordable Housing
Overview
RiverView, a nonprofit affordable housing provider, partnered with Solvix to implement a community solar program that would provide clean, low-cost energy access to residents across its 200-unit housing complex. The goal was to make solar energy inclusive, accessible, and beneficial for underserved communities.
Execution
Solvix created a shared solar infrastructure designed for high impact and ease of access:
Centralized Solar Grid Installation – Built a large solar array on adjacent land to serve multiple residential buildings.
Shared Energy Distribution Model – Enabled equitable energy credits across all 200 units.
Net Metering Setup – Connected to local utility grid with fair billing and credit system.
Tenant Education Program – Conducted workshops and provided materials to help residents understand usage and savings.
Sustainability Reporting Support – Helped the nonprofit report on impact metrics for funding and compliance.
Results
30% Average Monthly Utility Bill Reduction for residents
200+ Families Benefiting from clean, shared solar energy
Over 600 Tons of CO₂ Emissions Offset Each Year
Improved Energy Access in low-income housing
Solvix has transformed our community into a model for sustainable living. Our residents are thrilled with the significant cost savings and the positive environmental impact. The team was professional, and the installation was seamless. We couldn't be happier with the results!”
