The Energy Connector is a platform that makes community solar subscriptions with long-term cost savings available to income-verified households. Participating states use the Connector to support community solar programs with income-qualified subscriber requirements by agreeing to consumer protections that safeguard consumer data and providing customers with comprehensive and clear communication and disclosures about community solar. The Connector offers community solar developers reduced customer acquisition and management costs for income-verified subscribers by connecting them to pre-qualified applicants.
The Energy Connector was developed through a partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Laboratory of the Rockies in collaboration with several partners. InClime became the Energy Connector's long-term host in 2026, and partners with the Clean Energy States Alliance for its operation.
New users can create accounts and use the Connector only upon request and approval by their participating state agencies.
