How does community solar actually work?
A local solar farm sends its power into the grid. Your utility counts your share of that power as a credit on your electric bill, and you pay for that credit at a discount — so your total cost goes down.
Last updated
Your power still comes through the same wires, from the same utility, with the same emergency number. Nothing is installed. The discount applies to the portion of your bill the solar farm covers, which is usually most of the bill but not the whole bill.
Credits appear within the next 2-3 billing cycles after your utility processes the enrollment.
What we handle
We read your bill, work out which programme you qualify for, size your allocation, submit the paperwork and follow it through until the credit shows. We are partnered with over 30 solar farms, so we place you on a project that actually has room instead of leaving you on a waiting list for years.
