Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about community solar in New Hampshire and New York? We’ve gathered the most common questions to help you understand how solar programs work and whether they’re right for you.
Community Solar Basics
What is community solar?
Community solar allows you to benefit from solar energy without installing panels on your roof. You subscribe to a portion of a larger solar farm, and receive credits on your electricity bill for the power your share generates. It’s an accessible way to go solar, whether you’re a renter, own a home with an unsuitable roof, or simply want an easier renewable energy option.
Who can subscribe to community solar?
Community solar is available to most residential and small business customers in areas where programs exist. New Hampshire and New York have active community solar initiatives. You don’t need to own a home or have a roof suitable for solar installation. If you have an electricity account and the solar farm serves your utility territory, you can typically participate.
How much can I save with community solar?
Savings vary based on your location, utility rates, and subscription size. Most participants see reductions of 10-30% on their electricity bills. The best way to understand your specific savings is to discuss your situation with one of our specialists who can calculate projections based on your current energy use and local rates.
