🌞 SunShare Connect™
A Distributed Solar Infrastructure for Power, Connectivity, and Community
“We don’t just generate electricity—we generate resilience. While others mine crypto, we generate sovereignty.”
🧱 The Problem
Across Texas and beyond, the electric grid is brittle. Utility costs rise, blackouts escalate, and thousands die each year during climate extremes due to grid failures. Meanwhile, millions of square feet of sunlit surface area—hangars, warehouses, churches, airports, schools—sit unused.
Layer in a growing digital divide and widespread rural water insecurity, and the conclusion becomes obvious:
We don’t need more centralized utilities. We need distributed, community-owned infrastructure—powered by sunlight.
⚡ The Solution: SunShare™
SunShare transforms underutilized rooftops and land into resilience nodes that deliver:
- ⚡ Clean energy via rooftop or ground-mount solar arrays
- 🌐 High-speed, solar-powered broadband (Wi-Fi, CBRS, or Starlink mesh)
- 💧 Drinking water through solar Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG)
- 🚗 Optional EV charging stations (Level 2 and DC Fast)
- ✅ No capital cost for the host; SunShare builds, operates, and maintains
SunShare converts passive surfaces into active, revenue-generating infrastructure.
💼 Business Model
| Layer | Function | Revenue Stream |
|---|---|---|
| Solar Arrays | Electricity generation | Utility PPAs, net metering, VNM |
| Rooftop Leasing | Roof or land use from host | Fixed-cost leases, in-kind service returns |
| Broadband Nodes | Rural connectivity via solar Wi-Fi units | State/federal broadband funding (BEAD, NTIA) |
| Water Generation | Solar AWG (1–5 gal/day per pod) | Grant-funded or service-licensed |
| EV Charging | Solar-fed EV infrastructure | Charging fees, utility rebates |
Incentive Stack:
- 📉 MACRS + ITC: Federal tax benefits for solar and batteries
- 💧 USDA / DOE / NTIA: Grants for broadband and water
- 💲 Carbon credits / RECs / resilience credits
- 🏡 Texas Tax Code 312/313: Local abatements for green infrastructure
✈️ Strategic Entry Point: Small Airports
Airports are ideal launch sites for SunShare hubs:
- 🛫 Abundant roof and perimeter land
- 🧾 Predictable, year-round energy demand
- 🏛️ City, county, or HOA ownership → stable partnerships
- 🛠️ FAA-vetted for solar compatibility
- 👍 Low resistance, high civic visibility
Initial deployment sites identified:
- Dalhart Municipal
- David Wayne Hooks Memorial
- Giddings-Lee County
- Taylor Municipal
- Port Mansfield
- Hondo Regional
🌎 Why This Matters
SunShare isn’t a solar company.
It’s a blueprint for distributed resilience.
- Decentralized energy → grid independence
- Local broadband → digital equity
- On-site water → sovereign supply
- Modular installs → scalable impact
Each node is a step toward infrastructure sovereignty.
