What is community solar?

Community solar was established by the Rhode Island Office of Energy Resources in 2019. This program enables virtually anyone in Rhode Island 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.
