FAQ
What is community solar?
Community solar is a local program that lets you subscribe to a nearby solar project and share in the clean power it produces—without installing panels on your home, property, or business. Your utility tracks the project’s energy production and applies credits for your share directly to your monthly bill. Those credits automatically lower what you owe, so your savings are built in—typically 5–15% each year, depending on the project and your utility.
Do I need to install any equipment on my property?
No. Community solar projects are built off-site on other properties in your community. You simply subscribe to a share of a new or existing solar project, and the credits for your portion of the energy show up directly on your utility bill.
What are the main benefits of subscribing?
1. Lower monthly energy costs
2. No equipment or upfront costs
3. Available to homes, businesses, and institutions
4. Support renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions
How much can I save?
Savings vary by project and utility, but most subscribers see 5–15% off their annual electricity costs.
How will I see the savings?
You’ll see bill credits applied directly on your monthly utility statement, lowering your total amount due.
Who is eligible to join?
Typically, anyone with an electric account in the utility service area where a community solar project exists can subscribe—whether you rent, own, or run a business. Eligibility may vary by project and available capacity. Contact us to find out if there’s an open community solar project in your area.
Will my utility service change?
No. You’ll stay with your same utility provider and receive the same reliable service. The only change is the credits that reduce your bill.
Does it cost anything to join?
No. There are no upfront fees or hidden charges—just monthly savings from your subscription.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Community solar subscriptions are designed to be flexible—you can cancel anytime if your situation changes. Some utilities require a short cancellation notice period (for example, 30 or 60 days). Check with your utility to understand the exact terms for your project before you sign up.
What if I move?
If you move within the same utility service area, you can often transfer your subscription to your new address. If you move outside the area, you can cancel your subscription according to your utility’s terms.
