Clear Blue solar lighting for energy service companies

Solar Lighting for ESCOs:Expand Your Portfolio. Guarantee Performance.

Energy Service Companies need lighting solutions that deliver guaranteed savings, verified performance, and measurable results. Grid-connected lighting is expensive to install, costly to maintain, and difficult to guarantee. Clear Blue changes the equation by providing managed solar lighting as a utility service: zero grid infrastructure, zero electricity costs, and 30 to 40% lower total cost of ownership. Every light is cloud-monitored through our Illumience platform with real-time telemetry and proactive fault detection.

Solar Costs Less Than Grid

When you add up trenching, wiring, permits, and monthly electricity, grid-connected lighting is more expensive than most people think. Total installed cost of solar is now 30-40% lower. No cables, no transformers, no monthly power bill.

Lighting as a Utility Service

Most solar lighting is unmanaged, and that is why it has a reputation for going dark. Clear Blue is different. We monitor every light 24/7 and manage performance the same way a utility manages the grid. You pay a fixed monthly cost. We keep the lights on. 99.5% average uptime.

Why ESCOs Are Moving Beyond Grid Lighting

Grid-connected lighting creates risk for performance contracts. Infrastructure costs compress margins, M&V is complex, and grid reliability is outside your control.

Guaranteed Savings Are Hard to Deliver

ESCOs are contractually obligated to deliver measurable energy savings. Grid-connected lighting makes guarantees difficult when utility rates fluctuate and infrastructure degrades unpredictably.

Grid Infrastructure Eats Into Project Margins

Trenching, wiring, and utility coordination cost $50 to $150 per foot. These infrastructure costs compress ESCO margins and limit the scope of projects you can profitably deliver.

M&V Complexity Slows Projects

Measurement and verification for grid-connected lighting requires baseline studies, sub-metering, and ongoing data collection. The complexity adds cost and delays project approval.

Aging Grid Creates Performance Risk

Grid-connected lighting performance degrades with grid quality. Voltage fluctuations, outages, and transformer failures create risks that ESCOs absorb but cannot control.

Managed Solar Lighting Built for Performance Contracts

Clear Blue isn't a solar hardware vendor. We provide lighting as a utility service, powered by solar. You get guaranteed savings, automated M&V, and a partner who owns the performance.

Lighting as a Utility Service

We don't sell hardware for your clients. Clear Blue provides lighting as a managed utility service with guaranteed performance. You expand your portfolio, we guarantee the outcomes.

Guaranteed Lowest Total Cost

Zero trenching, zero wiring, zero monthly electricity. Total cost of ownership is 30 to 40% lower than grid alternatives. Savings are real, measurable, and easy to verify.

Simplified Measurement & Verification

Every light reports real-time energy data through Illumience. Automated M&V eliminates manual baseline studies and sub-metering. Verified savings data is always available.

Real-Time Performance Monitoring

Our Illumience platform provides 24/7 telemetry on every light. ESCOs get a partner dashboard with fleet-wide performance data, fault alerts, and energy savings reporting.

Zero Grid Risk

Every light operates independently of the grid. No voltage fluctuations, no transformer failures, no outage risk. Performance is guaranteed regardless of grid conditions.

Rapid Project Deployment

Each Senti light arrives pre-configured and mounts directly to a pole. For Senti deployments, a two-person crew installs each light in under an hour. Power Pack provides a robust solution for retrofitting on existing infrastructure. No excavation, no wiring, no utility coordination required.

Energy-as-a-Service

A Turnkey Lighting Solution Built for ESCO Performance Contracts

ESCOs live and die by guaranteed savings. Traditional lighting retrofits require complex M&V processes, depend on grid reliability, and compress margins with infrastructure costs. Clear Blue eliminates those constraints.

Every Clear Blue light is a self-contained, cloud-managed energy system. Our Illumience platform provides real-time energy production and consumption data, automated savings verification, and proactive fault management. You get a lighting solution that delivers verifiable savings from day one, backed by a partner who guarantees performance.

  • Guaranteed savings with real-time energy data for M&V
  • Zero grid infrastructure costs to compress your margins
  • Automated performance reporting through partner dashboard
  • Proactive fault detection and remote optimization included
