Utility-Partnered · No Cost to Enroll · No Equipment Required
Your utility bill is
carrying a hidden option.
Community solar programs — run in partnership with your local utility — let residential customers claim a portion of a nearby solar farm's output as a credit on their existing bill. No panels. No switching providers. No cost to get started.
What is community solar?
Solar energy without a solar panel
Large-scale solar farms are built in your state and connected to the same grid your utility uses. Residents can subscribe to a portion of that farm's output — and receive the value of that electricity as a credit directly on their utility bill each month.
These programs are run with your utility's direct involvement. They are reviewed, approved, and administered through your existing utility account. Nothing changes about how you receive electricity.
How enrollment works →Priority enrollment
SNAP, Medicaid & income-qualified households
Many community solar programs reserve capacity — and offer higher discount rates — for households already receiving means-tested benefits. If you receive SNAP, Medicaid, or qualify under your state's low-income utility guidelines, you may be eligible for priority placement.
