Shared Solar Benefits For Everyone
Community Solar is a renewable energy program backed by individual State legislation. There are currently 43 States in the U.S. that have adopted this program to ensure fair access to the economic and environmental advantages of solar energy.
We build community solar gardens, connect them to your utility, and manage the project for the long-term.
No solar installation for you means no upfront costs to you. Residents can join a solar garden at no upfront cost.
Earn solar credits on your electric bill, reducing what you pay your utility by up to 10-15% annually.
You and your neighbors’ commitment to the solar project helps reduce grid congestion and carbon emissions.
See monthly reports on your environmental impact and cumulative savings.
Join community solar with Solar Gardens and earn a $50 gift card as a thank you for your participation.
