Community solar and energy bill credits, without a rooftop.
Community solar lets eligible customers subscribe to a share of an off-site solar farm. The project sends electricity to the grid, while the local utility continues to serve the customer's meter. Under local program rules, an eligible share may appear as a credit on an energy bill.
How community solar works
- Check whether your address and utility are eligible for a local program.
- Review the disclosure and subscription agreement before enrolling.
- The solar farm generates electricity and sends it to the grid.
- The program calculates an eligible share and the utility may apply a bill credit.
Understand the credit and the charges
A utility bill credit and a solar subscription charge are different items. Some programs combine billing; others send a separate subscription bill. Credit timing, subscription prices, fees, cancellation terms, and potential savings vary. Compare the written offer with your normal utility bill.
About “free bill credits”: that search phrase is not a promise of free electricity, a zero-cost subscription, or guaranteed savings. Ask for every charge and credit in writing.
