Community Solar

Anyone who lives in a community solar program's service area and meets the eligibility requirements can typically subscribe.

No, you do not need to install anything at your business or property to join a community solar project. Instead of installing solar panels on your property, you take out a community solar subscription with a local solar farm, and the energy generated is credited to your utility bill. This allows you to benefit from solar energy without any installation or maintenance on your premises.

The savings you can achieve with community solar vary depending on the program and your energy usage. The credit value varies and is typically multiplied by the number of kilowatt- hours (kWh) the share of the community solar system generates. The exact savings will depend on factors like the size of your subscription, the amount of energy generated by the solar farm, and your local utility rates.

Community solar programs typically do not require long-term commitments. Most programs offer flexible terms, such as monthly or annual contracts, with options to cancel or transfer your subscription if needed. However, the specifics can vary by provider, so it's important to review the terms of the program you're interested in.
