As a Community Solar subscriber, you, alongside several other residents receive a “share” of the energy output of an off-site solar project at no upfront cost. Your “share” size will cover about 85-90% of your annual electricity usage.
Each month, you will receive credit on your electric bills for the electricity produced by your share of the solar panels, reducing what you pay your utility provider.
Then you’re invoiced separately for the credits you received at a guaranteed discount. You only pay for credits after they’re applied to your electric bill which makes Community Solar a great renewable energy option.
