“Community solar is a great option for households like ours who care about sourcing their energy from renewable sources but don’t have the right conditions for their own solar array. Our community solar deal is all but invisible to us; our electricity functions exactly as it did when we were on the fossil fuel-powered grid. It’s reliable, stable, and the only difference we actually see is that it’s 10% cheaper every month.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Community Solar?

Community Solar is when we allocate you a portion of a shared solar farm in New York that will produce clean, renewable energy on your behalf. The green electricity is sent to your utility company. You will see a 10% discount on your normal utility bill for the electricity produced by your allocation. Your lights turn on as always. There is no installation, extra costs or downtime.

Why is Ancram partnering with Solstice Power Technologies?

We are partnering with this fantastic organization to ensure that everyone in our community can take advantage of their local community solar farm. Our residents can join a local solar farm administered by Solstice and receive energy credits that are guaranteed to lower the electricity bill.

What happens if I join?

When you enroll, you will be allocated panels from a Solstice solar farm. Your panels will generate energy that will be credited to you on your electric bill, reducing your electric costs by up to 10%. Solar credits received are based on subscriber energy usage and the solar farm’s energy production, which can fluctuate month-to-month resulting in varied savings. Additionally, you will receive a $25 enrollment bonus for joining.

Can I join this community solar program if I am signed up for municipal aggregation?

Yes! We are encouraging everyone to participate in this program as it is free, safe, and guarantees a lower energy bill.
