What is Community Solar?

Community solar is a new state program that enables homeowners and renters to support a local clean energy project and receive savings every month on their electricity bill.
Here's how it works:

1

Energy from the sun is converted into clean electricity by the community solar farm.

2

This clean electricity is connected to the utility, replacing fossil fuels and lowering emissions in the community.

3

Electricity flows as normal from your utility through the broader electrical grid to your home.

4

Everyone who signs up supports new clean energy and receives savings every month on their electricity bill!
