Haven serves as a strategic partner for enterprise organizations with large, complex, or multi-site facility portfolios. We design, secure, and manage large-scale Community Solar offtake to deliver frictionless, no-CAPEX operational savings across your entire facility footprint.

Portfolio Alignment

Community Solar delivers its strongest, cleanest results in organizational environments with the following characteristics:

Rate-Class and Tariff Complexity

Industrial, large commercial, and high-demand rate classes that align structurally with Community Solar programs.
Meaningful Electricity Exposure

Annual electricity spend in the range of $500k to $10M+, where modest percentage savings translate into significant absolute impact.
Portfolio-Scale Meter Aggregation

Organizations managing approximately 10 to 500+ electric meters, where aggregation enables material optimization.
Multi-State Enterprise Portfolios

Distributed facilities operating across regulated markets such as ISO-NE, NYISO, and PJM.

How Haven Works

Haven provides a centralized management layer that integrates Community Solar into your existing energy procurement strategy with zero operational friction.

Our process is structured to reduce risk, eliminate friction, and scale cleanly across utilities and states.

1. Portfolio & Rate-Class Analysis

We review your electric accounts at the portfolio level identifying the specific rate-class structures where Community Solar provides the most significant savings

2. Utility-Specific Eligibility & Capacity Mapping

Haven maps qualified load against available Community Solar capacity within specific utility territories (ISO-NE, NYISO, PJM). We align capacity with your geographic footprint and consumption profile to support scalable participation.

3. Conservative Allocation & Enrollment

Accounts are enrolled deliberately and conservatively, prioritizing clean billing outcomes, contractual flexibility, and long-term stability over aggressive offsets.

4. Ongoing Oversight & Exception Handling

Our partnership extends beyond initial enrollment. Haven provides ongoing oversight of your participation, managing exceptions and portfolio adjustments to ensure savings remain stable and frictionless as your facilities evolve.

Why This Stays Simple

Community Solar participation through Haven is structured to remain operationally invisible and contractually low-risk.

No capital deployment

No CAPEX, no equipment installation, and no liens. Savings are realized through utility-applied credits.

No operational changes

Facilities continue operating exactly as they do today. No process, staffing, or workflow adjustments are required.

No interference with existing supply contracts

Community Solar credits layer cleanly on top of current utility and third-party supply arrangements without modification or renegotiation.

Utility-applied credits, billed in arrears

Credits are applied directly by the utility before payment is due, ensuring savings are realized before any corresponding charge is invoiced.

Flexible participation terms

Agreements are structured with termination provisions that preserve optionality as portfolio needs or market conditions evolve.

How Community Solar Works

Community Solar allows solar developers to allocate the dollar value of electricity produced by their solar projects to participating customers within the same utility territory.

Rather than installing on-site generation, organizations receive utility-applied bill credits representing their share of a local solar project’s output. These credits reduce the total amount due on electric utility bills.

How credits are applied

Community Solar credits are issued by the utility
Credits are applied directly to monthly electric bills
Credits reduce all applicable charges, including supply and delivery
Credits are applied before payment is due

Following credit application, a separate invoice is issued by the solar project owner for the discounted value of those credits, resulting in net savings.

Here's an example:

Assume a facility receives a $10,000 electric utility bill for a given month.

Community Solar credit application

That same month, $10,000 in Community Solar credits are applied by the utility
The utility bill is reduced from $10,000 to $0 before payment is due

Settlement with the solar project

In the following billing cycle, the organization receives a separate invoice from the solar project owner
At a 10% discount, the organization pays $9,000 for the previously applied credits

Net result

$10,000 of utility charges offset
$9,000 paid for those credits
$1,000 in realized savings

All achieved with no capital deployment, no operational change, and no modification to existing supply arrangements.

What Haven does differently

Haven does not treat Community Solar as a standalone enrollment.

We analyze portfolios at scale, validate rate-class eligibility, map qualified load to available capacity by utility, and enroll only the portion of usage that produces clean, durable savings.

If Community Solar is not a clean fit for a given account, it is excluded.

About Haven - The Haven Thesis

Bridging institutional energy portfolios with Community Solar opportunity.

Community Solar has historically been treated as a residential or small-commercial program. In practice, its most durable value often exists inside large, complex, multi-site portfolios. This is where rate structures, scale, and aggregation unlock material savings. These organizations are frequently overlooked, because the market lacks operators with the depth and discipline to serve them at scale.

Haven was built to correct that mismatch.

Technical Pedigree

From meter-level behavior to enterprise-scale energy management.

The Haven team is led by Ben Randolph, whose career in renewable energy spans more than a decade across residential, commercial, and enterprise markets. Beginning in home energy auditing and early solar sales, Ben developed a practical understanding of how energy is consumed, billed, and misunderstood at the meter level.

That foundation expanded through Community Solar leadership and later enterprise-scale energy programs at Enel X, where Ben identified, qualified, and closed large industrial demand response accounts across ISO-NE, PJM, NYISO, CAISO, ERCOT, and MISO—working directly with organizations managing significant load, operational complexity, and financial scrutiny.

Across subsequent roles at Ampion, this perspective sharpened further: large energy users do not reject clean energy, they reject friction, uncertainty, and poorly aligned incentives.

The Resulting Rigor

Portfolio-scale Community Solar, structured deliberately.

Haven applies enterprise energy discipline to Community Solar. Rather than treating enrollment as a transactional event, Haven evaluates portfolios holistically. We validate rate-class eligibility, map qualified load across utilities and states, and surgically identify only the portion of usage that produces clean, defensible savings.

If Community Solar is not a structurally sound fit, it is excluded.

The result is a calm, low-friction solution designed for organizations that value clarity, stability, and long-term performance—delivered with the rigor expected by institutional energy buyers.
