About
Resonant Energy is a Boston-based solar energy company with a profound mission to foster a more equitable transition to clean energy. Founded in 2016, the company operates as a certified B-Corporation and is employee-owned, underscoring its commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. The firm specializes in making solar power accessible and affordable for communities that have been historically underserved by the renewable energy market. Their primary clients include nonprofits, affordable housing providers, houses of worship, and low-to-moderate-income homeowners, primarily in Massachusetts and New York. Resonant Energy's core philosophy is that the benefits of clean energy should be available to everyone, not just a select few. The company works to dismantle the financial and logistical barriers that often prevent these communities from adopting solar technology, thereby building wealth and resilience in under-invested areas. The company provides a comprehensive suite of services designed to guide clients through every step of the solar adoption process. This includes initial solar capacity assessments of buildings, the creation of custom proposals with detailed long-term savings projections, and assistance in navigating complex financing options. Resonant Energy has developed innovative financial solutions, such as no-cost Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and a unique Solar Access Program, which allows buildings to host solar panels without upfront costs or credit score requirements, leading to significant electricity savings. Furthermore, the company manages all aspects of project development, from permitting and installation to supporting clients in accessing federal and state incentives like Direct Pay. By focusing on operational excellence and building trusted local partnerships, Resonant Energy has successfully deployed over 9.4 MW of solar capacity across more than 250 projects, with a significant majority serving environmental justice communities. Their work is a testament to their belief that those most impacted by climate change and racial injustice should reap the greatest benefits from the shift to a clean energy economy.
