Most clean energy options were built for someone else
The home solar industry talks to homeowners. Power purchase and brokerage agreements were designed for large corporations with specialized energy buyers. Small businesses fall into the gap between residential programs and enterprise procurement.
You lease space
The roof, the parking lot, the meter, all belong to someone whose business case for solar isn't yours.
ROI doesn't pencil
Solar payback periods assume a level of consumption most small businesses don't reach.
PPAs not suitable
Power purchase agreements demand energy expertise and legal representation. Also PPA minimum loads often exceed your needs.
Locked-in utilities
With leased space 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 in leased space.
Brokers ignore calls
Brokers operate at industrial scale. Minimum orders typically start at hundreds or thousands of MWh. The volumes you need rarely exist at the broker level.

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.
