Imagine a choice between paying full price for your monthly electricity or replacing a chunk of it with solar credits on your utility bill. Now imagine that choice could lead to an extra $300 a year in your pocket. For many New Jerseyeans, that choice is now a reality through Altus Power Community Solar. No solar installation or upfront cost required.

Signing up is simple – if you’re interested in becoming an Altus Power customer, you can simply sign up here and once your enrollment is complete, you’ll start receiving monthly savings through solar credits on your utility bill. Limited spots are available, with priority access given to those who qualify for certain state benefits.

But first, what is Community Solar? Community Solar allows residents and local businesses shared access to the benefits of solar 100% virtually. By subscribing to a Community Solar project, you can help your community reduce its carbon footprint while also reducing your electricity costs without making any changes to your rooftop or home.

Community Solar comes with big benefits– financially and environmentally. According to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, since the start of New Jersey’s pilot program, Community Solar customers have saved as much as $1.5 million* on their monthly energy bills. Now that Community Solar is a permanent state program, it promises to play a big role in New Jersey’s efforts to transition to 100% clean energy with the potential to meet 30% to 40% of its energy capacity needs by 2035.

Community Solar is suitable for anyone with a power bill. There is zero equipment or installation involved. Subscribers still receive electricity from their utility company, so there are no changes to service. The energy generated by the Community Solar facilities is sent directly into the local power grid, thereby increasing the total amount of clean energy available to the area. And if you decide to move within New Jersey, your provider may be able to transfer your Community Solar contract with you to your new home.
