Solhaven pairs a proven operator with a genuinely underserved market: residents of low-income mobile-home parks who own the panels on their own roofs. The impact case and two years of audited growth earn strong marks; a SAFE priced above comparable raises and a minimum raise that cannot fund the stated plan hold down the Financial score and Downside protection.
70% impact thesis, 30% impact evidence.
Solar installations owned by mobile-home-park residents in three verified low-income Colorado communities cut household energy costs, a necessity these households struggle to afford. The model removes the up-front cost that keeps park residents out of solar, at a scale that would matter across the state if it works. [1] [2] [4]
Level 9: removes the cost barrier to owning solar Confidence: High Would move it up: A charter or contract that locks resident ownership in place. Would move it down: Evidence that park owners, not residents, capture the savings.
Delivery has begun: two years of audited revenue come from unaffiliated resident customers, and state program data confirm the three communities served. Savings per household are modeled from the installed capacity rather than independently measured. [1] [2]
Level 7: delivery confirmed by outside parties Confidence: Medium Would move it up: Published household savings figures a reader can reproduce. Would move it down: Audited revenue that turns out to come from a related party.
The plain average of management, deal terms and prospects.
The CEO's prior co-op scaled to 40+ installations, verified via news coverage and state filings. No litigation found. The bench below the founder is thin, a single-person dependency. [3] [5] [6]
Level 7: a verifiable record of operating in this domain Confidence: High Would move it up: A named operations lead with installation experience. Would move it down: The founder stepping back without a successor.
Crowd SAFE with an $8M valuation cap and no discount. The cap sits above comparable community-solar raises identified in research, and the SAFE carries no equity rights until a future round. StartEngine fees are standard; minimum investment $250. [1] [7]
Level 3: a SAFE priced above the band for this stage Confidence: High Would move it up: A discount, or a cap in line with comparable raises. Would move it down: A later round priced below the cap with nothing protecting SAFE holders.
Two years of audited revenue with 60% year-over-year growth from repeat resident customers. The 2027 projection assumes a 4x jump that management does not substantiate, and two named competitors are better capitalized. [1] [8] [9]
Level 8: revenue growth across two periods with reviewed statements Confidence: Medium Would move it up: A funded path to the next installation phase. Would move it down: Growth that stalls below the 2026 plan.
Shown beside the Overall score and never averaged in; a higher number means lower risk.
The $50,000 minimum raise would not cover the equipment plan described in the filing, the amount committed so far does not close the gap, and the filing discloses no bridge. Existing revenue helps, but it does not fund the plan. Net-metering exposure is disclosed and confirmed by current state reporting. [1] [10]
Level 3: capital inadequate at the amount committed Confidence: Medium Would move it up: Commitments that reach the first installation phase, or a disclosed bridge loan. Would move it down: A net-metering rule change that cuts resident savings.
The filing and the founders' public profiles state no identity information, so none is reported. Reported from public statements only; not scored.
Every score is a recommendation for an ordinary investor putting a small amount into this offering, judged against the realistic alternative (an index fund returning about 9% a year), with the offering as one position in a portfolio of fifty to a hundred. Six dimensions are each scored 1 to 10 on a written ladder of ten levels, and a 5 means as sensible a use of the money as that alternative. Impact is the impact thesis × 0.7 plus the impact evidence × 0.3; an explicit health, environment or social-justice mission that the product itself delivers holds it at 5 or more. Financial is the plain average of management, deal terms and prospects. The Overall score is the plain average of Impact and Financial. Downside protection is shown beside them and never averaged in; a higher number means lower risk. Reading the numbers: 9 to 10, exceptional; 7.5 to 8.5, worth investing in and recommending; 6 to 7.5, interesting, with reservations to weigh; 4 to 6, pass; 1 to 3, avoid. Scores below 5 on Impact are shown but not classified as impact investments. The SuperCrowd Investment Directory's reports and Devin's Impact Pick of the Week use the same rubric.
