Community solar
Community solar projects give energy customers a way to access solar energy without owning their own solar power system.
What is community solar?
Community solar projects are collectively owned solar power installations. These projects allow multiple energy consumers to share access to solar power by collectively supporting a shared solar energy asset.
How community solar works
Community solar typically operates on a subscription model. Eligible customers pay a subscription fee to support the operation and maintenance of a collectively owned solar array. Electricity generated by the community solar project is sold to the local power grid. In exchange for their monthly or annual contribution to the project, subscribers receive credits on their utility bills.
