The Reality
Solar wasn't built for apartments
The home solar industry talks to homeowners. If you rent an apartment, the conversation skips you entirely. These are the walls between you and clean energy. That's why we built another way.
No roof access
You don't own the roof above you. In a high-rise, walk-up, or duplex, the asset that matters most for solar isn't yours to touch.
Landlord control
Even tenants with private patios can't host balcony panels without a property owner who agrees.
Short-term tenure
Solar pays back over a decade. A 12-month lease doesn't. The math punishes you for being a renter, not for being indifferent.
Locked-in Utilities
In most apartments your electric utility is fixed by the building owner You can't shop for a clean energy plan if it requires changing utilities.
Shared solar gaps
Community solar exists in less than half of U.S. states. If yours isn't one of them, this potential renter solution is a dead end.
Long waitlists
Where community solar exists demand often exceeds availability with waitlists extending beyond lease terms.
Lengthy contracts
Some shared solar programs require multi-year contracts. A non-starter for someone on an annual lease.
Credit screens
Many community solar contracts require a credit check. Renters with short credit history, recent moves, or small hiccups are screened out.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Sustainable Choice is different in several important ways:
• We only match 100% clean energy from solar, wind, and hydro. Many of our competitors source from pollution emitting facilities burning trash, wood, or animal waste. These competitors cannot truthfully represent the emissions benefits they claim. Always check the fine print.
• No conflicts of interest. We don’t contribute to any fossil fuel production. Competitors often have a conflict of interest as they provide clean energy services while also generating electricity from fossil fuels.
• We donate one percent of all sales environmental non-profits as a member of 1% for the planet.
• Owned and operated by environmental advocates not by utilities.
Each month we detail your progress through in a monthly impact statement included in your order email. You also gain access to your own clean energy dashboard where you can track your progress and earn milestones. Your clean energy dashboard will also detail the impact the Sustainable Choice membership is making on the supply of clean energy in the U.S.
With Sustainable Choice there is no change to your electric provider. You do not have to go through the hassle and pain of switching utilities. You will remain with your current utility and they will continue to provide you with service and respond to outages.
Rather than focusing on individual homes or businesses, our mission is to shift the U.S. grid to clean energy and away from fossil fuels.
The grid mixes all sources together both clean and dirty. At any individual home it is impossible to tell whether clean electrons are in use. The environmental impact happens at the supply level, not the delivery level. The supply level is where the climate impact happens, so that is where we focus.
Sustainable Choice is a member of 1% for the Planet, an organization whose members commit to donating 1% of annual revenue to vetted environmental nonprofits. We believe this is important work that creates benefits beyond the electricity supply. In the past, energy development by fossil fuel interests cared little about the impact it had on the land and the people. We are members of 1% for Planet as a way to do our part to ensure renewable energy development does not repeat the same mistakes.
