What is community solar?
A simpler way to participate in solar.
Community solar allows multiple subscribers to benefit from a shared, off-site solar project. Instead of installing panels on a home or business, eligible subscribers can participate in a local project and receive utility-bill credits based on the program and subscription terms.
It expands solar access to renters, property owners, businesses, nonprofits, public organizations, and others who may not want—or may not be able—to install their own solar array.
☀
Shared renewable energy
A community solar project produces clean electricity for the grid while multiple subscribers participate in its output.
▤
Utility bill credits
Subscribers can receive credits on their electric bill. Credit values, savings, and billing structures vary by program and project.
◎
Broader access
Community solar can open participation to customer types that traditional rooftop solar may not serve well.
How it works

Exact rules vary by state, utility, and project, but the basic community solar model is straightforward.

Frequently asked questions
Community solar, without the jargon.
Program structures differ by market, but these are the fundamentals.
Do I need solar panels on my property?+
No. Community solar uses an off-site solar project, so subscribers generally do not need to install panels on their home or business.
Who can participate?+
Eligibility depends on the state, utility territory, project, and program rules. Community solar can serve many customer types, including homes, renters, businesses, nonprofits, and public organizations.
How do utility-bill credits work?+
Subscribers receive credits associated with their share of a community solar project’s generation. The way those credits appear and how subscription charges are handled varies by market and project.
Will my utility change?+
Community solar typically works through the existing utility account. The utility continues delivering electricity while the community solar project contributes energy to the grid and associated credits are applied according to program rules.
Is community solar available everywhere?+
No. Availability depends on state policy, utility territory, active projects, available capacity, and customer eligibility.
Does community solar always guarantee savings?+
No. Savings depend on the specific program, project, subscription price, bill-credit value, and contract terms. Always review project-specific disclosures before enrolling.
