There’s no cost to join Community Solar with Solar Gardens! There are no annual fees or maintenance fees either. You simply join for free, then purchase the solar credits you receive (these credits reduce your electric bill) at a guaranteed discount.
Solar Gardens subscribers’ savings vary by project. For Central Maine Power customers, we offer a guaranteed 15% discount on the solar credits you receive, which can save you hundreds of dollars each year.
Enrollment is easy and can be completed in just a few minutes from your computer. Our enrollment form will walk you through the entire process but feel free to reach out to our support team for enrollment assistance.
No, you will still receive electricity through Central Maine Power; there’s no need to cancel or change!
Solar Gardens sends its solar energy directly to the power grid, and then CMP credits your electric bill directly.
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.
Yes! Even if you don’t own your home, you can still join Community Solar with Solar Gardens. As long as you live in the same utility service area as the project, you can subscribe. Plus, if you move within the same utility service area, you can take your subscription with you.
What’re you waiting for? Join a community solar garden for free in minutes and contribute to Maine’s sustainability efforts.
