What are the benefits of community Solar?
Community Solar creates clean, renewable energy in your community. By subscribing to one of our solar projects, you are paying for access to less expensive and environmentally friendly solar electricity so that you don’t have to buy electricity at standard utility rates produced by fossil fuels. Nearly everyone can participate regardless of your location, housing, or access to the sun. With this equipment-free option, you no longer need to install solar panels on your property or roof to benefit from the technology. No panels or equipment also means you do not have to pay to maintain panels.
