Community Solar
Solar Info America helps eligible homeowners, renters, and businesses explore community solar programs. Customers may benefit from solar energy produced at an off-site project without installing panels on their property.
What is community solar and how does it benefit you?
Community solar projects are large solar power installations, which can be installed on large plots of land usually several acres, community solar can also be installed on unused roofs. Think warehouses and apartment buildings.
These subscribers pay a monthly fee to participate, and in turn, receive a credit on their electricity bill for their share of the power produced. The balance ends up saving subscribers money and allows them to join the fight against climate change. It's a Win-win situation for all community members involved!
How is community solar different from regular solar?
Why is community solar important?
Today, many people aren’t able to install solar on their roofs for various reasons. They might rent their home instead of own, live in multi-family buildings, have roofs that are shaded or unsuitable for solar, may not be able to get a loan because of a lower credit score—the list goes on. We think everyone should have access to clean, renewable, less expensive energy. Community solar means anyone can participate in the movement to save our planet, and save money at the same time!
Explore Potential Electricity Savings
Community solar subscribers may receive electricity-bill credits based on their allocated share of an off-site solar project. Depending on the program, a separate subscription payment may apply. Actual savings depend on the value of those credits, subscription charges, utility rules, and contractual terms. Savings are not guaranteed.
Support Cleaner Energy Without Rooftop Panels
Community solar allows eligible customers to participate in solar energy projects located away from their property. It can expand access to renewable electricity for renters, homeowners, and businesses without suitable rooftops. Availability and environmental benefits depend on the specific project and program.
