Sometimes, a residential or commercial roof is unsuitable for solar due to its orientation, size, age, or pitch. In other cases, commercial or residential properties also lack the space to install a ground-mounted array. So, how can we collectively do our part to support our planet and communities when not all corporations or property owners can switch to solar? Leasing land to solar companies is one solution that supports our community members, propels us towards meeting New York State's ambitious climate goals, and also benefits land owners.

GreenSpark Solar, the leading solar and battery storage company in the Finger Lakes region, has partnered with Tompkins Community Bank to offer competitive solar-specific loans for businesses of all sizes. Now, more local New York State companies can access commercial solar financing and use the power of the sun to reduce operating expenses, increase profitability, and protect their business against volatile utility rates, all with $0 capital investment.

Let’s celebrate Earth Month together! Earth Month is a great time to amplify our efforts and showcase our current initiatives to build a sustainable future for our planet and community.

But it shouldn’t stop there.
