Zero Carbon Communities is a nonprofit organization dedicated to proactively reducing carbon emissions with proven technologies in innovative ways.
These include education and action.
We install, or cause to be installed, energy efficiency and carbon-free power systems on as many sites as possible. Reducing energy use and replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy systems.
We focus on granting systems for low-income homeowners in locales where we are able to garner funding and operate …
… and aiding new home community developers build carbon-free homes and businesses– truly carbon free communities, for living, working and transportation.
Currently we can operate in Colorado, as we started there and have the infrastructure to get projects done. Soon we will be working in California. If you want us to operate in other locales please contact us.
Information that helps people take their own action is plentiful but scattered. Hence most Americans are undereducated on practical steps to reduce their own emissions. We’ll try to make it easy to understand and facilitate their action.
Our actions are primarily focused on installing energy efficiency and renewable energy systems at low or no cost to low income and economically disadvantaged homes and farms.
In addition, we have a detailed plan for developers and builders of new home communities, on how they can, from the first phase of development, make their communities truly zero carbon on both homes and transportation.
Finally, we bring decades of expertise to commercial projects where a combination of technologies is necessary to make a project pencil, be a compelling economic proposal. Most commercial buildings are not just paying for kilowatt hours of power they use. A large part of the electric bill is for peak electrical loads, or Peak Demand.

For no charge we offer help to homeowners who have been taken advantage of, where they have bad outcome from a solar project. When possible, we will repair solar systems and interconnect them to the electric Grid, getting them turned on and producing power. This is possible for most systems that are not owned by third party operators like leasing companies. When a third party owns a system and when the homeowner is not satisfied, we’ll work to intervene on behalf of the homeowner, for a positive outcome.
We will provide accurate information that can be used by pretty anyone. This involves the launch of a new system for quantifying emissions and putting them on a numerical scale. We call this the Carson Scale, to honor Rachel Carson, author of the first great environmental book Silent Spring. Watch for the launch, on this site.
