Community Solar is a solution to meeting renewable energy needs. Clean energy is produced by a solar farm and is supported by local communities that subscribe to a portion of the farm. In turn, the community members receive solar credits. The program allows locals to benefit from solar energy at no cost.

The most significant difference between rooftop solar and Community Solar is convenience. Community Solar does not include rooftop installation or the associated requirements, loans, etc. Instead, clean energy is generated by a nearby solar farm to assist in cleaning the energy grid. There are no associated costs to sign up and no maintenance fees. Rather than solar energy being generated by and for one property, Community Solar farms generate power for the wider community and deliver power directly to the power grid.

Community Solar offers a convenient and practical way to support locally produced, clean energy generation and benefit with solar credits. When you join, you actively help send renewable energy to the power grid, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Our developers build and maintain the solar farms and there is no installation required. Lastly, the construction and maintenance of local solar farms provide new local jobs for your community.

Developers ask us to serve as an educational bridge to show you how easy it is to participate. We enroll businesses, investors, and municipalities into the solar farms to lower emissions and help save them money on the electric bill. The solar energy generated by the farm is sent directly to the power grid, and the subscriber receives solar credits, which equates to a discount every month from the supply.

No. We are not a utility company and community solar does not replace your utility company. When you become a customer, you will continue to receive a bill from your utility company for your standard energy charges. Additionally, you will receive a separate statement of savings showing your usage and supply charges. Your Energy Supplier will also remain the same.

In most instances, a written notice of at least 90 days is good enough to exit an agreement. This does not guarantee it to be the case for EVERY farm- just a general rule of thumb. Ask your representative the exact terms on the farm you're enrolling into.

Never. We pump energy back into the grid so your service would never be affected as a result of joining a community solar farm. All outages, if they happen, would be directly with your utility just like usual.

You will earn modest savings of typically around 5-10% on your electric bill each month. While it might not seem like much, it can add up. For more savings monthly, in order to provide affordable clean energy at no upfront cost and with no recurring subscription fees, we must reduce the monthly savings we offer while still giving as much of the financial benefit to our subscribers as possible. This allows money to flow evenly so that subscribers benefit and we can afford to offer more projects.

Yes. You can subscribe to a organization if all your subscriptions do not exceed 120% of your baseline annual energy usage. Subscribed energy in excess of annual use will be paid out to customers at a rate that may be less than the subscribed cost. Customers should choose subscription levels that correspond to annual use in order to avoid loss of subscription value.

We hear that a lot! There is no catch and you save money every month. This is why community solar will be a major solution to the adoption of utilizing clean energy. Good for you, the environment, and the economy. The only possible downside is that space is limted and farms fill up fast. Get your spot reservered ASAP!
