U.S. Light Energy

U.S. Light Energy is a New York-based renewable energy development company specializing in community solar and utility-scale solar generation facilities. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Latham, NY, USLE leverages over 30 years of combined experience across solar PV technology, energy markets, and real estate development to deliver distributed generation projects throughout New York State and beyond.
The firm focuses on developing large-scale ground-mounted solar arrays for wholesale markets as well as community-driven initiatives that allow residential customers—including those without suitable rooftops—to benefit from clean energy through subscription models. USLE manages every aspect of project origination: from site selection through design engineering to permitting and construction oversight.
Notable achievements include pioneering several first-of-their-kind community solar farms such as Sugar Hill Solar Farm (Clifton Park) and Denmark Community Solar Farm—projects that collectively generate millions of kilowatt-hours annually while providing local residents with access to affordable renewable power. USLE’s expertise extends into policy navigation at state/federal levels and structuring effective financial deals for stakeholders ranging from landowners to municipal clients.
By advancing accessible community solar solutions with streamlined processes for land leasing or participation—and by collaborating closely with local authorities—USLE has become a recognized leader driving sustainable energy adoption across its service regions.
