Unlocking new opportunities for community-focused organizations and impact investors
Good Energy Solutions is excited to announce a new partnership with Brightwell Capital, a collaboration designed to accelerate the adoption of clean energy for nonprofits, churches, and government organizations. This initiative opens the door for mission-driven groups to reduce operating costs, improve energy resilience, and shrink their carbon footprint, all while giving investors the chance to earn returns that align with their values.
Breaking Down Barriers to Clean Energy
Many organizations that serve the public, whether feeding families, educating students, or providing vital services, are interested in going solar, but face significant financial barriers. Without access to the same tax incentives as for-profit businesses, many have found solar to be out of reach.
Through our partnership, Good Energy Solutions brings the engineering and installation expertise, while Brightwell Capital provides financing solutions that leverage tax credits, incentives, and creative investment structures. The result is a pathway for these organizations to access solar power without large upfront costs.
A Win-Win for Investors and Communities
The model is simple:
Investors fund qualified solar and energy storage projects for nonprofits, churches, and public sector organizations. They earn returns through tax incentives and long-term project revenues, while also generating measurable environmental and social impact.
Organizations receive immediate energy savings, reduced reliance on the grid, and protection against rising utility rates.
By structuring projects this way, we make it possible for organizations that don’t pay taxes to still benefit from the value of tax credits, effectively channeling federal incentives into local communities.
This partnership with Brightwell Capital is about more than building solar projects. It’s about removing barriers for organizations that are doing the hard work of serving our communities. By combining our expertise in clean energy with Brightwell’s innovative financing, we’re enabling nonprofits, churches, and public agencies to access the savings and resilience that solar provides, while giving impact investors a meaningful way to put their capital to work.
Real Benefits, Real Impact
For community organizations, lower energy costs mean more funds available to serve their mission. For investors, it’s an opportunity to participate in the clean energy transition while knowing their capital is helping schools, shelters, congregations, and public services thrive.
And for everyone, it’s a step toward a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable energy future.

FAQs
These answers summarize how Good Energy Solutions and Brightwell Capital partner to make solar accessible to mission-driven organizations, reducing energy costs and increasing resilience while creating investor impact.
How does the Good Energy Solutions + Brightwell partnership work?
Brightwell Capital finances solar and storage projects for nonprofits, churches, and public agencies; Good Energy Solutions provides engineering, permitting, and installation. Investors supply capital and receive returns via tax incentives and project revenues, while organizations gain solar without large upfront costs.
Who qualifies for this financing model?
Mission-driven entities that typically cannot use tax credits directly: registered nonprofits, houses of worship, schools, and local government agencies. Brightwell’s structures are designed to channel federal incentives into these organizations through investor-backed project ownership.
What are the main benefits for nonprofits and public organizations?
Immediate reduction in energy expenses, stabilized utility costs, increased energy resilience, lower carbon footprint, and more funds available to devote to mission work — all without a significant capital outlay from the organization.
What do investors get from this model?
Investors receive financial returns derived from tax incentives (where applicable) and long-term revenue streams, while also earning measurable environmental and social impact by funding community-facing projects.
How does Brightwell enable tax-credit value for tax-exempt organizations?
Brightwell structures project ownership so investors can monetize federal tax incentives that the nonprofit itself cannot use. The resulting savings and value are passed back to the community organization via lower energy costs and access to clean energy.
What’s the typical project process and timeline?
Process steps: initial site assessment → engineering & proposal → financing structure & investor commitment → permitting and interconnection → installation → commissioning. Timelines vary by project size and local permitting but are sped up by having financing pre-arranged through Brightwell.
Are energy storage (batteries) included in these projects?
Yes — the partnership supports both solar and energy storage. Combining batteries with solar improves resilience, provides backup power, and can increase the overall value of the project to both organizations and investors.
