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:
Energy from the sun is converted into clean electricity by the community solar farm.
This clean electricity is connected to the utility, replacing fossil fuels and lowering emissions in the community.
Electricity flows as normal from your utility through the broader electrical grid to your home.
Everyone who signs up supports new clean energy and receives savings every month on their electricity bill!
Common Energy works with developers to build and connect new community solar projects. Our projects prevent millions of pounds of carbon emissions every year. We have over 40 projects across the country. See if we have one in your area!
