Partner with Luminia to Power Local Solar and Storage

Join the Solar Plus Business Partner Network.

The Solar Plus Business program, developed by Luminia in partnership with Clean Energy Alliance (CEA), brings local solar + battery storage or standalone storage to commercial properties across San Diego North County at no upfront cost. Eliminating traditional barriers to clean energy adoption—like credit qualification or roof condition—this program enables more businesses to access solar + storage or standalone storage.

We are building a local trusted partner network of sales, referral and installation partners to drive program adoption and accelerate clean energy adoption across CEA’s communities.

Licensed installers may also participate as Sales Partners if they originate and close projects. Partners may apply for more than one track.
