What is Community Solar

Community solar puts renewable energy in the hands of the 90 million American households who can’t install solar panels.

With community solar, solar arrays are installed in a centralized location where local residents, like you, can enroll at no additional costs.

Unlike rooftop solar, community solar gives you all the benefits of solar energy, without the hassle. When enrolling in community solar, you will not only go green and save, but you will also support your local economy by helping to create local jobs and tax revenue.

How Community Solar Works

Electricity produced by your solar panels allows you to save regularly on your monthly electric bill, and helps you support renewable energy.

1. Panels

We allocate you a portion of a shared solar garden in your area that will produce clean renewable energy on your behalf – no matter the season.

2. Utility Company

The electricity is sent to your utility company. You will see a positive credit on your normal utility bill for the electricity produced by your allocation.

3. You

Your lights turn on as always: no installation, extra costs, or additional downtime. Congrats, you finally get to benefit from affordable clean energy!
