What is Community Solar?
Glad you asked! Click on a circle to learn more
Getting started is easy
1. Panels
A solar farm gets built near you. Renters and homeowners can subscribe to a portion of the farm that matches their
energy usage.
2. Utility Company
When you join, your portion of the solar farm sends its energy through the power
grid, so there’s no need to install anything on your home or pay upfront
fees.
3. You
You will get your electricity as normal - no change to your everyday life, except for monthly savings and the good feeling of supporting clean
energy!Â
Most Americans don’t yet have the means to install solar panels on their own property. Community solar empowers residents and organizations to connect their electric meters to locally built solar farms and earn renewable energy credits on their bills, bringing down their costs and preserving their community for good.

Community Solar FAQs
Who qualifies for 60% savings?
The 60% discount is for income-eligible renters and homeowners. To qualify, the household must verify as 80% or less of their Area Median Income (AMI) or provide proof of participation in a benefits program such as Lifeline or SNAP. Excess Telecom customers are likely to qualify. Residents who do not qualify for a 60% discount may still be eligible for savings of up to 20% through Solstice.
What is the process for joining community solar?
You can join community solar online by clicking the button below. Solstice will ask you to create an account, connect your home to a solar farm by entering your address and qualifying as income-eligible (see above for information on how to qualify), and sign a contract to lock in your savings.
You can sign up in under 15 minutes. Call (866) 826-1997 to get help from a live representative!
Will I ever be asked to pay extra? Are there additional fees?
There are no extra fees, and you will not pay more as a community solar subscriber than you would without community solar. You will earn credits each month and your utility will apply those credits to your electric bills, giving you reliable monthly savings.
Does signing up mean putting solar on my home?
Nope! Community solar allows you to connect to a solar farm built in Illinois. You don’t need to put anything on your home. You don’t even need to own your home. All you need is to connect your electric bill to the solar farm online through Solstice.
Will I still get reliable electricity every month?
Yes! Joining community solar does not change the way you get electricity. Your utility company, Ameren, will still deliver power to your home exactly the way it does right now. But you will be supporting more clean energy in Ameren’s grid.
