Community solar & coastal wind · the Northeast shore
Marram grass is what keeps a dune standing in a gale. We took the name seriously: community-owned solar and wind, engineered for salt air, nor'easters, and fifty years of local ownership — not a quick flip to a fund.
Everything we install is rated for marine exposure and sized from your actual load data — meter readings, not estimates.
Ground-mount and rooftop arrays from 250 kW to 12 MW, with subscriptions any household on the local utility can join. No panels on your roof required — just a line on your bill that goes down.
Mid-scale turbines sited where the wind actually is: harbors, headlands, working waterfronts. We model two full years of local wind data before we propose a single tower.
Paired storage that keeps the firehouse, the school, and the water plant running through an outage. Storms are the reason shore towns call us first.
Four stages, in the order they actually happen. Most projects go from first walk to first kilowatt-hour in 14–22 months.
We walk the land with you, pull twelve months of utility data, and tell you plainly whether a project pencils out. If it doesn't, we say so and you've lost an afternoon.
The unglamorous middle: utility queue, zoning, coastal commission. We've done it in every shore county from Montauk to Machias, and we handle all of it.
Local crews wherever we can hire them, one named project manager, and a weekly one-page update written in plain English.
The town or co-op takes title on a schedule you choose. We train your people, stay on for monitoring, and then it's yours — revenue, decisions, and all.
A sample of the fleet. Output figures on the strip above are live totals across reporting sites.

| Hither Hills Solar | Montauk, NY | Community solar | Operating | ||
| Harbor School Roofs | Wellfleet, MA | Rooftop solar | In construction | ||

Most renewable projects in small towns are owned somewhere else. The power is local; the revenue isn't. We structure every project so the town, a co-op, or a community trust holds the asset — and the income stream that comes with it.
That changes the math on everything. A municipally owned 3 MW array isn't a line item, it's a snowplow budget. It's why our projects pass at town meeting.
It costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Bring your last twelve utility bills and a pair of boots; we'll bring the wind data and an honest answer about whether your site works.
