How it works

Find a project.

Every listing is a real parcel with a feasibility score, an interconnection path, and a named site owner. Start on the map or browse below.

Read the dossier.

Score breakdown, revenue model, incentive stack, permitting status, risks. Everything we know, including what we don't.

Commit.

Choose an amount. Funds are held in escrow with a third-party agent until the raise closes or is cancelled.

Get paid — and watch.

Distributions flow from energy arbitrage, capacity, and ancillary revenue once the asset operates. Your dashboard shows real dispatch data, not a quarterly PDF.

What a Gridspace investment is — and is not.

It is

A fractional equity or revenue interest in a single, identified battery storage asset at a specific address. Your return depends on that asset earning money in a wholesale energy market.

It is not

A savings account. A loan with a fixed rate. A share of Gridspace the company. A liquid security — there is no public market and you should expect to hold for 5–10 years.

Why we show you the risks first.

Most storage revenue is merchant — it comes from price spreads, not a long-term contract. That is genuinely less predictable than a solar PPA. We would rather you understand that on day one than on year three.

Everyone sees the same battery.

A community investor putting in $200 and a fund putting in $2M see the same score, the same risks, the same site conditions, and the same live operating data. What differs is the size of the check and the depth of the financial model — not what you're allowed to know about the battery.

Incentives

ITC, NYSERDA per-kWh, energy community bonus.

Illustrative scenario tool — not a projection of your return. The interactive incentive model (ITC 30% / energy community +10% / NYSERDA bracket / MACRS) is coming to project pages; every output is a range with an explicit disclaimer.

When a project lands on your block, you should be able to own part of it.

Gridspace reserves an allocation in each raise for residents inside a defined radius of the site, at the lowest minimum we can offer. Cooperative and community-organization structures are supported directly.

Questions, answered plainly

What is the minimum?

Community raises start at $100. Accredited offerings start at $25,000. Each project page states its own minimum.

Can I lose money?

Yes — up to everything you put in. These are private securities backed by a single asset earning merchant revenue in a volatile market. Never invest money you cannot afford to lose.

When do I get distributions?

Only after the asset operates and earns revenue, on the schedule set in that project's offering documents. Construction and interconnection take time; expect years, not months, before a first distribution.

Can I sell my position?

Not easily. There is no public market for these securities, transfer is restricted, and you should expect to hold for 5–10 years or longer.

What are the fees?

Every fee — platform, sponsor, and servicing — is itemized in the offering documents on each project page before you commit. If a number is not on that page, it is not charged.

Who holds my money before closing?

A third-party escrow agent, not Gridspace. Funds are released to the project only if the raise reaches its minimum by the deadline; otherwise you are refunded in full.

What happens if the raise doesn't fill?

The raise fails, and your money comes back to you in full from escrow. A failed raise is not necessarily a failed site — we publish what happened and what's next for it.

What happens if the project fails in permitting?

If it fails before your money leaves escrow, you are refunded. If it fails after closing, losses fall to investors as described in the risk factors — which is why permitting status is on every dossier before you commit.

How do I know the score is honest?

Every score links to how it was computed: the model version, the weights, the source data with vintage, and the decision log of every change — including recorded dissent. Read it at Insights.

What tax forms will I get?

It depends on the security: typically a K-1 for equity interests or a 1099 for revenue interests, delivered to your documents page each year. Each project page states which applies.

Start with the map. The projects are real places.
