Powershift Clean Energy Benefit

About the program

What are you supporting?

Upon sign up, you will enable the development of one or multiple community solar projects. These projects absorb sunlight and generate clean energy that is fed into the electrical grid; replacing the need for carbon emitting energy alternatives.

What’s the environmental impact?

The clean energy produced with community solar helps reduce carbon emissions in our communities. A single solar farm can prevent 1-3 millions pounds of carbon dioxide from entering our atmosphere each year!

How do you save money?

Due to state incentives, the process of generating clean energy is less expensive than that of fossil fuels, coal, or nuclear energy. This reduced cost is passed onto you, the customer, in the form of savings on your electricity cost each month. It’s a rare win, win, win.

Thanks to forward thinkers like you, the positive environmental impact enabled by our community solar program increases every year. Check out the estimated impact our projects will have this year alone.

Each year, Common Energy’s solar program generates over 720 million kWh of clean energy

That energy will prevent 450 million pounds of CO₂

Which is equivalent to planting 9.3 million trees

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’ll send you a Statement of Savings showing the original cost of the clean energy you enabled, your savings, and your environmental impact.
