Solstice supports a subscription-based community solar model. This model allows for low-commitment participation in your local solar farm with no upfront costs and guaranteed savings on your monthly electric bills. In this model, participants do not own their allocated solar panels. Instead, participants buy the energy produced by their solar allocation at a discounted rate.
Before subscribing to one of our solar farms, you must provide Solstice with a recent copy of your electricity bill. By providing this information, we are able to estimate your historic annual electric usage to determine how many solar panels your household or business should be allocated.
It is important to note that the amount of energy produced by your solar panels will fluctuate seasonally. In the darker winter months, your panels will produce less energy than they will in the sunnier summer months. Depending on your home energy usage, it is possible that your allocation to the solar farm will produce more solar credits than you can use on your bill in certain months. In those months, the excess credits will be banked to your utility account for use in later months.
Please remember that no matter how many credits your solar panels produce in a given month, you will always be saving money on your electric bill by being a Solstice customer!
