Clear Skies offers a complete solution to convert vehicle fleets to run on propane autogas at no upfront cost to fleet owners. They arrange for vehicle conversions, onsite or offsite fueling stations, and monitor fuel savings. This shared savings model allows Clear Skies to recoup their investment over time. Their target market includes light duty gasoline fleets of 20-200 vehicles that return daily to a central location. By introducing a no-cost business model similar to rooftop solar financing, Clear Skies believes propane and other alternative fuels can see similar explosive growth in adoption. They are currently bootstrapping and seeking early customers and partners to help unlock this market opportunity.

Rooftop Solar
● $2.2B per year
● 85% use a “no
upfront cost”
model
In 2005 SunEdison introduced a
“no upfront cost” business model
for commercial rooftop solar. This
unlocked a huge market
opportunity, now over $2B per
year.
Clear Skies is introducing a similar
model. Fleet managers tell us that
alternative fuels including propane
are positioned for similar explosive
growth.

● No upfront cost to
customer
● ~ $3,500 for each
vehicle conversion

● Contract similar to a
mobile phone
● Monitoring through fuel
cards
● Project finance via
$20m-50m fund (SPV)
to capitalize new
projects, same model as
rooftop solar
● Fuel price hedging
between gasoline and
propane
