Have you ever wondered how you can contribute to making your community cleaner and more sustainable while also enjoying the savings and other benefits of solar energy? Look no further than community solar.

So, what exactly is community solar? At its core, community solar is a shared solar energy project that allows individuals and businesses to benefit from solar power without the need for installing solar panels on their own properties - this means that you can rent or own, and you don’t have to worry about shade, rain, or snow. Instead, solar panels are installed in a central location, such as a nearby field or capped landfill, and the electricity generated is distributed to subscribers within the community. Since community solar is more of a supplement to your regularly distributed electricity, you don’t have to worry about a cloudy day reducing your power and you’ll still get all the electricity you need from the grid.

One of the biggest advantages of community solar is its accessibility. It enables people who may not have suitable rooftops or own their homes - or even those still on the fence about renewable energy - to still access the benefits of solar energy with no commitment or hassle. Whether you rent an apartment, live in a shaded area, or have a property that isn't suitable for solar panel installation, community solar offers an inclusive solution for everyone to participate in the clean energy transition, which has many benefits outside of carbon emissions. Community solar projects contribute to local economic development. The installation and ongoing maintenance of solar systems create job opportunities, stimulate local spending, and generate tax revenues. Additionally, community solar projects can revitalize underutilized land or brownfield sites, transforming them into productive assets. By generating clean, renewable energy locally, communities are also less reliant on external energy sources and vulnerable to price volatility or supply disruptions associated with traditional energy sources.

By joining a community solar program like Solstice, you become a subscriber and receive credits or savings on your electricity bill based on the amount of solar energy generated by your share of the panels which is allocated according to your normal electricity usage. These savings can vary depending on your location and the program you qualify for. The average subscriber will get around 21% savings each month!
