Switching to renewable energy has never been easier, thanks to community solar and net metering programs. These innovative solutions allow homeowners and businesses to support clean energy without installing expensive equipment or switching energy providers. If you’re looking to save money while helping the environment, here’s everything you need to know.
What is Community Solar and Net Metering?
Community solar lets you enjoy the benefits of solar energy without the need for panels on your property. Instead, by subscribing to a shared solar program, you’ll support a local solar farm and receive credits on your electric bill. Net metering works by offsetting your energy consumption with these credits, giving you financial savings while contributing to renewable energy production.
How It Works
There’s no need for costly installations or changing your energy provider to participate in community solar. The program integrates seamlessly with your current electricity service. To qualify, you only need to receive an electric bill from a major provider in your state. Once enrolled, your electricity will still come from your approved provider, but you’ll see savings in the form of solar credits.
Participants can lock in a 10% discount on all solar credits applied to their bills for the duration of their 20-year subscription. Best of all, most programs offer the flexibility to cancel without fees, provided you give a 180-day notice.
What to Expect on Your Bill
Your electric bill will look similar to what you’re accustomed to, with one significant addition: solar credits. These credits represent your contribution to renewable energy, translating directly into savings on your monthly bill. Your supply rate and electricity service remain unaffected, ensuring a seamless experience.
Who Can Participate?
Community solar and net metering programs are available across multiple states on the East Coast, including Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Major utility companies like National Grid, Eversource, Con Edison, and Green Mountain Power support these programs, making it widely accessible to residents and businesses alike.
