Simple answer
Do I need rooftop solar?
No. Community solar does not put panels on your roof. That is one of the main reasons people like it.
How it works instead
Instead of panels on your home, community solar uses a larger shared solar farm connected to the same power grid.
Your account is linked to that kind of program through your utility, not through equipment at your home.
Why that matters
It can work for renters, condo owners, and homeowners who do not want panels on the roof.
It also means you do not have to deal with installation, roof condition, or getting equipment mounted on your house.
What stays the same
Your utility still delivers your power. Your home still uses electricity the same way it always has.
The main change is that your account may be matched to a program that can lower what you pay.
