Massachusetts Community Solar

What is community solar?

Community solar was established by the Massachusetts Legislature in 2013. This program enables virtually anyone in Massachusetts to support clean energy for free, lower emissions in their community, and receive savings each month on their electricity.

Joining a solar project:

01 - Check availability

Use your zip code and utility to see if we have a clean energy project in your area with open enrollment.

02 - Connect your utility

Using your utility account information, we will connect your existing account to a new clean energy project.

03 - Payment information

Your connection to the grid will remain the same, but you will receive clean energy credits and pay your utility through Common Energy at a lower cost.

04 - Savings & impact

Each month we will share with you a Statement of Savings. This statement will show your original bill, your electricity savings, and your positive environmental impact.

"I really believe in decreasing our carbon footprint and this is the easiest way to sign up for solar energy. You literally sign-up and all of a sudden you are getting your energy from local solar farms and you are saving money."
