We believe that every home, business, and community can be part of the energy revolution—and we're here to make this belief a reality.
BlueWave is a mission driven organization, and whether you are a landowner interested in developing on your land, a resident of a town where BlueWave is applying for a permit, or a prospective investor, you can expect your experience with BlueWave to reflect our core values. The values, do it right, do it together, do it boldly, and do it with purpose drive BlueWave’s unique approach to development and are always reflected in our project considerations.
Our philosophy is always to put people first and we do so by showing up as a member of the communities we serve. We host community meetings with a focus on learning about resident concerns, work with landowners to create a vision for their land and put together a development model that aims to keep farmers on farms. We share energy saving benefits with the local communities where possible through community solar.
We are a business with regenerative goals. We have a commitment to including dual-use practices that support healthy land wherever possible, even where there are no market incentives encouraging us to do so. This commitment has led us into projects like Grafton, a landmark agrivoltaic project in Massachusetts, and more recently, the first agrivoltaic project in Maine, where we are researching how crop cultivation performs within a solar array.
We are committed to partnership with Indigenous communities to build their input and the history of the land into account in our development practices.
Since our founding in 2010, we have had a history of pushing the industry towards meaningful growth. We have helped the industry address fundamental challenges, pioneering practices like community solar and dual use solar at scale and bring that same spirit to stand alone storage project development.
We believe we can not address the climate crisis without addressing the impacts the energy industry has on marginalized communities and are committed to expanding access to renewable energy. We hold ourselves accountable to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion through our social impact committee. We know we are not perfect but strive to continue to improve through learning.
What's it like to be in the BlueWave crew? We show up every day on a serious mission, but we can't reach our goals without teamwork, friendly competition, and just plain fun.
Our Team
Our founders knew that a better tomorrow starts with solar access today, and founded BlueWave with the vision of protecting the planet by transforming access to renewable energy.

We launched our solar development business with our first small contract in Massachusetts—and we mean really small.

BlueWave established a project development pipeline of approximately 500MW utility-scale solar projects in South Africa, the timing of construction of these awarded sites depends on the South African Government’s re-activation of the renewables programme.

We wanted our solar offerings to be a better choice for consumers, so we worked with regulators to bring community solar into the marketplace and started signing up customers for savings.
Beyond our own projects, BlueWave began to offer comprehensive community solar services to national developers, infrastructure funds and other institutional long-term asset owners.
We began financing home residential solar installations through our trusted installer network, but over time we saw a greater need in providing options for commercial property owners so in 2019 we introduced options for commercial & industrial property owners to lease their rooftops as community solar sites.
