See How It Works

How Does Community Solar Work?

Subscribing to a Solar Farm:
Community solar projects are typically solar farms or larger installations located off-site, away from your home or business. When you subscribe, you purchase a share of the energy generated by these solar arrays.
Receiving Credits on Your Bill:
You’ll receive credits for the amount of electricity generated by your share, which will reduce your monthly electric bill. These credits are provided by your local utility company, who purchases the energy from the solar farm.
No Installation Required:
Since community solar projects are off-site, there’s no need to install panels on your own property, making it a perfect option for renters or those with unsuitable roofs.
