Titan Energy and Greenskies Clean Focus Partner with Soundview Family YMCA on Innovative Solar Roof Lease Project
Project delivers annual revenue and supports the YMCA’s long-term sustainability goals
Branford, CT – [October 22, 2025] – Titan Energy and Greenskies Clean Focus are proud to announce the successful completion of a unique renewable energy project with the Soundview Family YMCA that delivers both financial and sustainability benefits to the community-focused organization.
Unlike a traditional power purchase agreement (PPA), this project was structured as a roof lease. By hosting solar panels on its rooftop, the Soundview Family YMCA will receive approximately $20,000 annually from Greenskies—providing a consistent, long-term revenue stream without requiring any upfront investment or changes to existing energy systems.
The Soundview Family YMCA’s facility already operates a combined heat and power (CHP) system that covers much of its electricity and heating needs. To ensure compatibility and avoid interfering with the CHP system, Titan Energy and Greenskies structured the solar project to deliver power directly to Eversource’s grid under the state’s Non-residential Renewable Energy System (NRES) program. This arrangement allows the Soundview Family YMCA to benefit from annual lease payments while Greenskies generates clean energy for the regional grid.
“This project demonstrates how nonprofit organizations like the Soundview Family YMCA can achieve meaningful financial savings while advancing sustainability goals,” said Kyle Ramm, Managing Director at Titan Energy. “By leveraging creative energy strategies, we were able to deliver long-term benefits without upfront cost. We’re proud to partner with Greenskies to complete such an impactful project.”
In addition, the project implemented a series of additional energy-saving measures, reducing its Eversource utility costs at no out-of-pocket expense to the organization. Together, these efforts align with the Soundview Family YMCA’s core motivation: lowering operational costs while advancing its commitment to sustainability.
“This project is a great example of how creative solar structures can deliver tangible value to mission-driven organizations,” said Ryan Linares, VP of Real Estate of Greenskies Clean Focus. “By partnering with Titan Energy and the Soundview Family YMCA, we were able to turn unused roof space into a reliable source of revenue, helping the YMCA strengthen its financial foundation while contributing to a cleaner energy future for the broader community.”
With this collaboration, the Soundview Family YMCA not only strengthens its financial position but also reinforces its role as a sustainability leader within the community.
